OPERATION 3. The AVR 350 is capable of storing up to 40 XM Radio preset channels. The presets are divided into five banks, denoted by the letters A through E, with eight numeric presets per bank. After you have programmed preset stations (see below), you may select one by pressing the Set Button repeatedly until PRESET SEARCH appears, then using the ⁄/¤ Buttons to change the bank (A through E). Use the Preset Buttons to scan through the eight numeric positions within a bank. When you are able to hear Channel 1, you are ready to activate your module. If you don't hear Channel 1, make sure the module's plug is firmly seated in the XM Antenna jack, and that the module is near a south-facing window. Try unfolding the module and rotating it to obtain reception. You may need to purchase an extension cable, available on the XM Radio site, to ensure that the module is near the window. Tune to Channel 0 for a display of your antenna module's Radio ID number, required for activation. The current channel number and preset location will appear in the upper line of the Message Display, and the channel's name will appear in the lower line. Three signal-strength bars will appear to the right of the channel number and preset location. Press the Tuning Mode Button repeatedly to display the category, current artist or song title. For traffic and weather channels, the current city's name will appear instead of the channel name, and pressing the Tuning Mode Button repeatedly will display the local weather and temperature. Press the Set Button to search all channels. Press it again to search by category, using the ⁄/¤ Buttons to change the category and then pressing the Set Button to tune the first available channel in the new category. Press the Set Button again to change the preset bank, using the ⁄/¤ Buttons to change the bank letter. Press the Set Button again to return to the all-channel search. To store a channel in one of the 40 preset locations: 1. Press the Set Button repeatedly until PRESET SEARCH appears, then use the ⁄/¤ Buttons until the desired bank of presets (A through E) appears in the upper line of the message display. 2. Press the Memory Button, and a line will appear next to the preset bank letter. 3. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the preset location (1 through 8) you wish to store the channel in. Recording Two-channel analog and digital audio signals, as well as composite and S-video signals, are normally available at the appropriate recording outputs. Thus, to make a recording, you need only make sure to connect your audio or video recorder to the appropriate output jacks, as described in the Installation section, insert blank media and make sure the recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing. NOTES: 1. Analog audio signals are not converted to digital form, and digital audio signals are not converted to analog audio form. However, you may record a coaxial or optical digital audio source using either type of digital audio output. 2. Only PCM digital audio signals are available for recording. Proprietary formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS may not be recorded using the digital audio connections, although if the source is connected to the AVR using the analog audio connections, an analog recording may be made. 3. Component video and HDMI sources are not available for recording. 4. Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright restrictions on any material you record. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is prohibited by federal law. Using TheBridgeTM The Bridge is an optional dock that may be used with a compatible iPod (not included). When The Bridge is connected to its proprietary input on the AVR 350 and the iPod is docked, you may play the audio, video and still-image materials on your iPod through your high-quality audio/ video system, operate the iPod using the AVR remote or the AVR's front-panel controls, view navigation messages on the AVR's front panel or a connected video display, and charge the iPod. Either press the front-panel Source Selector repeatedly until the message "DMP/The Bridge is CONNECTED" scrolls across the front panel and appears in the semi-OSD display, or press the DMP Button on the remote to select The Bridge as the input source. When an iPod is docked in The Bridge, the screen shown in Figure 79 will appear on a video display connected to the AVR. Navigate The Bridge's screens by using the ‹/› Buttons to highlight a line and pressing the Set Button to select the line. The › Button scrolls down, and the ‹ Button scrolls up. Press the Menu Button to return to the previous level of The Bridge's menu system. Remember to set the remote in The Bridge device mode by pressing the Tape/The Bridge Button. If it lights in red, press it again quickly so that it lights in green, indicating it is in The Bridge mode.
