Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 210 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 Outputs or
Video 1 or 2 Outputs ∞cf in the record
mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to
the Digital Audio Outputs , you are able
to record the digital signal using 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 addition, 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 210 is established using the test tone, as
outlined on pages 22 and 23. In some cases,
however, it may be desirable to adjust the out-
put 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 Ó .
If you are using a disc with test signals or an
external signal generator as the source from
which to trim the output levels, you may use
the EzSet feature of the remote to guide you to
the correct SPL level. To use the remote for this
purpose, press and quickly release the SPL
Indicator Select to activate the sensor.
While the test tone is circulating, the Program/
SPL Indicator c will change color to indi-
cate the level. Adjust the level as shown above
until the LED lights green for all channels.
When it is red the level is too high; when it
is amber the level is too low. Press the SPL
Indicator Select to turn the sensor and
indicator off.
Once the reference level has been set, press
the Channel Select button
l
Ù and note
that FRONT L LEV will appear in the
Main Information Display X. To change
the level, first press the Set button ,
and then use the Selector buttons 5 or the
/
¤
buttons
mq
to raise or lower the
level. DO NOT use the volume control, as this
will alter the reference setting.
Once the change has been made, press the Set
button and then press the Selector
buttons 5 or the
/
¤
buttons
mq
to
select the next output channel location that you
wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level,
press the Selector buttons 5 or the
/
¤
buttons
mq
until WOOFER LEV
appears in the Main Information Display X
or on-screen display.
Press the Set button when the name of
the desired channel appears in the Main
Information Display X and on-screen dis-
play, 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 five seconds, the
AVR 210 will return to normal operation.
The channel output for any input may also be
adjusted using the full-OSD on-screen menu
system. First, set the volume to a comfortable
listening level using the Volume Control
Ó .Then, press the OSD button v to
bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1).
Press the
¤
button q four times until the on-
screen
cursor is next to the CHANNEL
ADJUST line. Press the Set button o to
activate the CHANNEL ADJUST menu
(Figure 8).

Once the menu appears on your video screen,
use the
/
¤
buttons mq to move the on-
screen
cursor so that it is next to the channel
that you wish to adjust. Then, use the
/
but-
tons n to raise or lower the output level.
Remember, the goal is to have the output level
at each channel be equal when heard at the
listening position.
When all adjustments are done, press the
/
¤
mq buttons to move the on-screen
cur-
sor so that it is next to RETURN TO
MENU and then press the Set button o if
you wish to go back to the main menu to make
other adjustments. If you have no other adjust-
ments to make, press the OSD button v to
exit the menu system.
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 and then follow
the instructions in the steps shown earlier.
