MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS t Direct Button: Press this button when the tuner is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a station's frequency. After pressing the button, simply press the proper Numeric Keys r to select a station. (See page 28 for more information on the tuner.) u Tuning Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, these buttons will tune up or down through the selected frequency band. If the Tuner Mode Button s& has been pressed so that AUTO appears in the onscreen display and Lower Display Line ¯, pressing and holding either of the buttons for three seconds will cause the tuner to seek the next station with acceptable signal strength for quality reception. When MANUAL appears in the Lower Display Line ¯, pressing these buttons will tune stations in single-step increments. (See page 28 for more information.) v OSD Button: Press this button to activate the On-Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or adjust the AVR 230's parameters. w Dolby Mode Selector: This button is used to select from among the available Dolby Surround processing modes. Each press of this button will select one of the Dolby Pro Logic II modes or Dolby 3 Stereo. When a Dolby Digital-encoded source is in use, the Dolby Digital mode may also be selected. (See page 26 for the available Dolby surround mode options.) x DTS Digital Mode Selector: When a DTSencoded digital source is selected, each press of this button will scroll through the available DTS modes. The specific choice of modes will vary according to whether or not the source material contains DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete encoding. When a DTS source is not in use, this button has no function. (See page 26 for the available DTS Digital options.) y Logic 7 Mode Select Button: Press this button to select from among the available Logic 7 surround modes. (See page 26 for the available Logic 7 options.) z Skip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons do not have a direct function with the AVR 230, but when used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD changer they will change to the previous disc in the changer or carousel. ` Transport Controls: These buttons do not have any functions for the AVR 230, but they may be programmed for the forward/reverse play operation of a wide variety of CD or DVD players, and audio or video cassette recorders. (See page 36 for more information.) 28 Stereo Mode Select Button: When the button is pressed so that DSP SURR OFF appears in the Lower Display Line ¯, the AVR will operate in a bypass mode with true, fully analog, two-channel left/right stereo mode with no surround processing or bass management, as opposed to other modes where digital processing is used. When the button is pressed so that SURROUND OFF appears in the Lower Display Line ¯, you may enjoy a two-channel presentation of the sound along with the benefits of bass management. Depending on whether your system is configured for 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 channels, the next press of the button will cause either 5 CH STEREO or 7 CH STEREO to appear, and the stereo signal will be routed to all five (or seven) speakers. (See page 26 for more information on stereo playback modes.) 29 DTS Neo:6 Mode Select: Press this button to select a DTS Neo:6 mode. These modes take a twochannel stereo- or matrix surround-encoded source and create a full five-, six- or seven-channel sound field. (See page 26 for the DTS Neo:6 options.) 30 Macro Buttons: Press these buttons to store or recall a "Macro", which is a preprogrammed sequence of commands stored in the remote. (See page 32 for more information on storing and recalling macros.) 31 Disc Skip Button: This button has no direct function for the AVR 230 but is most often used to change to the next disc in a CD or DVD player when the remote is programmed for that type of device. (See page 36 for more information on using the remote with products other than the AVR 230.) 32 Preset Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, press these buttons to scroll through the stations programmed into the AVR 230's memory. When some source devices, such as CD players, VCRs and cassette decks, are selected using the device Input Selectors e, these buttons may function as Chapter Step or Track Advance. 33 Clear Button: Press this button to clear incorrect entries when using the remote to directly enter a radio station's frequency. 34 Memory Button: Press this button to enter a radio station into the AVR 230's preset memory. First, tune the desired station, and then press this button. Two underline indicators will flash at the right side of the Upper Display Line ˜, and within five seconds press the Numeric Keys r for the preset number between 01 and 30 that you wish to assign to the station. (See page 28 for more information.) 35 Delay/Prev Ch.: Press this button to begin the process for setting the delay times used by the AVR 230 when processing surround sound. After pressing this button, the delay times are entered by pressing the Set Button p and then using the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to change the setting. Press the Set Button p again to complete the process. (See page 20 for more information.) 36 Speaker Select: Press this button to begin the process of configuring the AVR 230's bass management system for use with the type of speakers used in your system. Once the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select the channel you wish to set up. Press the Set Button p and then select another channel to configure. When all adjustments have been completed, press the Set Button p twice to exit the settings and return to normal operation. (See page 18 for more information.) 37 Spare Button: This button has no direct function for the AVR 230. 38 Volume Up/Down: Press these buttons to raise or lower the system volume. 39 TV/Video Selector: This button does not have a direct function on the AVR 230, but when used with a compatible VCR, DVD or satellite receiver, pressing this button will switch between the output of the device and the external video input. 40 SPL Selector: This button activates the AVR 230's EzSet function to quickly and accurately calibrate the AVR 230's output levels. Press and hold the button for three seconds and then release it. Press the "5" or "7" Numeric Key r to indicate whether you are using a 5.1-channel or a 6.1/7.1-channel speaker system with the AVR 230. The test tone will begin circulating, and the Program/SPL Indicator c will change colors. During this sequence, EzSet will automatically adjust the output levels for all channels until they are equal, as shown by the Program/ SPL Indicator c lighting green for each channel. Press this button again when the adjustment is complete to turn off the test tone. (See page 21 for more information on EzSet.) 41 6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input: Press this button to select the device connected to the 6/8-Channel Direct Inputs j. (See page 24 for more information.) 42 Mute: Press this button to momentarily silence the AVR 230 or TV set being controlled, depending on which device has been selected. When the AVR 230 remote is being programmed to operate another device, this button is pressed with the Input Selector Button e to begin the programming process. (See page 32 for more information on programming the remote.) 43 EzSet Sensor Microphone: The sensor microphone for the EzSet microphone is behind these slots. When using the remote to calibrate speaker output levels using EzSet, be sure that you do not hold the remote in a way that covers these slots. (See page 21 for more information on using EzSet.) 12 MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
