in a prior menu item. It is recommended that you

record your settings for each input using the work-

sheets in the appendix to this manual, in the event

there is a power loss or if you need to reenter the

settings for some other reason.

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR 140 is to configure

each input. Once an input is configured,

all settings for

the Digital Input, Component Video Input and Surround

Mode will “attach” themselves to that input and be

stored in a nonvolatile memory. The later selection of

that input will automatically recall those settings. For

that reason, the procedures described below must be

repeated for each input source so that you have the

opportunity to customize each source to your specific

listening requirements. However, once made, they

need not be changed again unless you need to alter

a setting.

When using the full-OSD system to make the setup

adjustments, press the

OSD Button

v

once so that

the

MASTERMENU

(Figure 1) appears. The

›

cursor will be next to the

INPUTSETUP

line.

Press the

Set Button

p

to enter the menu and

the

INPUTSETUP

menu (Figure 2) will appear

on the screen. Press the

‹

/

›

Buttons

o

until the

desired input name appears on the first line, as well

as being indicated in the front-panel

Input Indicators

Ú

. If the input will use the standard left/right analog

inputs and will not use component video, no further

adjustment is needed.

Figure 2

NOTE:

The

DIGITALIN

line will default to

COAXIAL1

when you select the DVD input.

When the Video 2 input is selected,

DIGITAL

IN

will default to

OPTICAL1

.

The AVR 140 offers you the opportunity to rename

any source (except the tuner) to customize it for your

particular equipment configuration, e.g. to designate

the source input to which you have connected a VCR,

or a DVD-Audio player. This name will appear in the

Upper Display Line

P

and in the on-screen display

whenever that source input is selected. If you wish to

rename a source, press the

¤

Button

n

until the

›

cursor is pointing to the

NAME:

line. Press the

Set Button

p

. A flashing box will appear. Press the

/

Button

n

to scroll through the letters of the

alphabet first in upper case, then in lower case, then

the numerals 0 through 9, and then followed by the

symbols ! ‘ ( ) * + , - . / ; < = > ? [ ] and then a

blank space. Use the

¤

Button

n

to scroll in the

reverse order. Use the

‹

/

›

Buttons

o

to move

from one character to the previous or following char-

acter.You may create a name of up to 14 characters,

including spaces. Press the

Set Button

p

when

you have finished entering the name, and then press

the

¤

Button

n

to proceed to the next setting.

If your system includes any sources that are equipped

with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the AVR 140

is able to switch them to send the proper signals to

your video display. Each of the two

Component

Video Inputs

/¤

may be assigned to a source for

added system flexibility. The

Component Video 1

Input

/

may be assigned to any one of the DVD,

Tuner, CD or Tape inputs.The

Component Video 2

Input

¤

may be assigned to any one of the Video 1

(VCR), Video 2 (Cable/Sat), Video 3 (TV) or 6/8-

Channel Direct inputs. If your system does not include

component video at this time, or if you do not need to

change these defaults, press the

¤

Button

n

to

go to the next setting.

To change the Component Video assignment, first

make certain that the

›


COMPONENT IN

line on the menu screen, and

then press the

‹

/

›

Buttons

o

until you see the

desired input. When the desired component video

input has been selected, press the

¤

Button

n

to go to the next setting.

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with

the selected input source, press the

¤

Button

n

on the remote while the

INPUTSETUP

menu

(Figure 2) is on the screen, and the on-screen cursor

will drop down to the

DIGITALIN

line. Press

the

‹

/

›

Buttons

o

until the name of the desired

digital input appears. To return to the analog input,

press the buttons until the word

ANALOG

appears.

When the correct digital input jack appears, press the

¤

Button

n

once so that the

›

cursor appears

next to

BACK TO MASTER MENU

, and

press the

Set Button

p

.

To change the digital input at any time using the dis-

crete function buttons and the semi-OSD system,

press the

Digital Select Button

q

on the remote.

Within five seconds, make your input selection using

the

/

/

¤

Buttons

n

until the desired digital or

analog input is shown in the

Upper Display Line

P

and in the lower line of the on-screen display. Press

the

Set Button

p

to enter the new digital input

assignment.

Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box

or HDTV set-top, may change between analog and

digital outputs, depending on which channel is in use.

The AVR 140’s Auto Polling feature allows you to

avoid losing the audio feed when this happens by

automatically searching both analog and digital con-

nections for a signal. Digital audio is the default, and

the unit will automatically switch to analog audio if the

digital audio stream stops.

In cases where only a digital source is used, such as

for a DVD player, you may wish to disable the Auto

Polling feature to prevent the AVR from trying to “find”

an analog source when the digital source is paused.

To turn Auto Polling off for any input, first make certain

that the

›


AUTO POLL

line on the menu screen. Next, press the

‹

/

›

Buttons

o

so that

OFF

appears. To restore

the Auto Polling feature, repeat the procedure at

any time so that

ON

appears.

When DMP

has been selected as the source

input, an additional line will appear in this menu that

lets you select whether you wish to allow your iPod to

continue charging while docked in

when the

AVR 140 is turned off and placed in Standby mode.

To make your selection, press the

/

/

¤

Buttons

n

until the

›

cursor is next to the line reading

RECHARGEINST-BY

. Press the

‹

/

›

Buttons

o

until the word

YES

appears if you

wish charging to continue, and the blue lighting on

The Bridge will remain lit when the AVR 140 is in

Standby mode to indicate that charging is taking

place. The default setting is

NO

, in which the docked

iPod will not continue to charge when the AVR 140

is turned off, even though

remains connected

to the AVR.

When all needed adjustments have been made, press

the

¤

Button

n

until the

›

cursor is next to

BACKTOMASTERMENU

to continue with

the system configuration.

Audio Setup

This menu allows you to configure the tone controls. If

you do not wish to change those settings at this time,

proceed to the next menu screen. However, to make

configuration changes to those parameters, make cer-

tain that the

MASTER MENU

(Figure 1) is on

screen with the

›

cursor pointing to the

AUDIO

SETUP

line, and press the

Set Button

p

. The
