OPERATION

Operation

The tuner will run through the list of preset

stations, stopping for five seconds at each one.

Press the button again to stop the scan at your

desired station.

•

To view a list of the stations entered in the

preset memory, press the

OSD

button

q

to

bring up the Full-OSD screen while the tuner is

in use and then press the

Memory

button

o

. The video display screen will show the

first 16 stations that have been preset, as

shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7

The word NONE simply indicates that no sta-

tion information has been entered and that the

memory slot is available. To view the remaining

stations, press the

Numeric Keys

p

for a

preset number not on the list, and the display

will change.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source

selected for listening through the AVR 300 is

sent to the record outputs. This means that any

program you are watching or listening to may

be recorded simply by placing machines con-

nected to the outputs for

Tape Out

g

or

Video 1

™

in the record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to

the digital outputs

ª

, you are able to record

the digital signal to a CD-R, MiniDisc or other

digital recording system.

NOTES:

• The digital outputs are active only when a

digital signal is present, and they do not

convert an analog input to a digital signal,

or change the format of the digital signal.

In additonal, the digital recorder must be

compatible with the output signal. For

example, the PCM digital input from a CD

player may be recorded on a CD-R or

MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals

may not.

• Please make certain that you are aware of

any copyright restrictions on any material you

copy. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted

materials is prohibited by Federal law.

Output-Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output-level adjustment for the

AVR 300 is established using the Test Tone, as

outlined on page 18. In some cases, however, it

may be desirable to adjust the output levels

using program material such as a test disc, or a

selection you are familiar with. Additionally, the

output level for the subwoofer can only be

adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program

material, first set the reference volume for the

front-left and front-right channels using the

Volume Control

ˆ

. If you wish to vary

the difference between the left and right chan-

nels, use the

Balance Control

7

.

Once the reference level has been set, press

the

Channel Select

button

g

and note that

FRONT L LEV

will appear in the

Main

Information Display

U

. To change the

level, first press the

Set

button

i

31

, and

then use the

Selector

buttons

34

or the

∕

/

¤

buttons

h

to raise or lower the level.

DO NOT use the volume control, as this will

alter the reference setting.

Adjusting the output-level trim is easier when

the Full-OSD system is used. To do this, first

press the

Channel Select

Button

g

and

then press the OSD button so that the display

shows all available speaker positions as shown

in Figure 8. Note that there will be a flashing

pointer under the

FL

, or front-left position.

When the

Set

button

i

is pressed to start

adjustments, the pointer will stop flashing.

During adjustments the numbers will increase

or decrease to indicate the change from the

reference-level setting.

Figure 8

Once the change has been made, press the

Set

button

i

31

and then press the

Selector

buttons

34

or the

∕

/

¤

buttons

h

to select

the next output channel location that you wish

to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press

the

Selector

buttons

34

or the

∕

/

¤

buttons

h

until

S-WOOFER LEV

appears in the

Main Information Display

U

.

Press the

Set

button

i

31

when the name

of the desired channel appears in the

Main

Information Display

U

, and follow the

instructions shown earlier to adjust the level.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan-

nels requiring adjustment have been set. When

all adjustments have been made and no further

adjustments are made for twenty seconds, the

AVR 300 will return to normal operation.

NOTE:

The output levels may be separately

trimmed for each digital and analog surround

mode. If you wish to have different trim levels for

a specific mode, select that mode using the front

panel buttons

(ÓÔÒÚ

or

f

on the remote control and follow the instruc-

tions in the steps shown above.

6-Channel Direct Input

The AVR 300 is equipped for future expansion

through the use of optional, external adapters

for formats that the AVR 300 may not be capa-

ble of processing. When an adapter is connected

to the

6-Channel Direct Input

§

, you may

select it by pressing the

6-Ch Input Selector

l#

.

Note that when the 6-Channel Direct Input is in

use, you may not select a surround mode, as

the external decoder determines processing. In

addition, there is no signal at the record out-

puts when the 6-Channel Direct Input is in use.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup

system that preserves tuner presets and system

configuration information if the unit is acciden-

tally unplugged or subjected to a power out-

age. This memory will last for approximately

two weeks, after which time all information

must be reentered.
