Step 4. Connect AM and FM antennas (Figure 4).
(See page 14.)
Step 5. Connect source components, as shown in
Figures 4 and 5, and the Device Connection
Options chart at right (see pages 14–15).
AUDIO connections: right channel (red) on
source to right (
red) on AVR, and left channel
(white) on source to left (white) on AVR.
DIGITAL AUDIO connections, if available:
Choose either coax (orange) to coax (orange)
OR optical to optical for each device.The
Coax 1 input defaults to the DVD player, but
may be reassigned.Assign the other digital
inputs and outputs as appropriate for your
equipment (as described in Step 7).
VIDEO connections: Choose either composite
(yellow) or S-Video (4-pin) for each video
source. Connect the composite and S-Video
Monitor outputs to your Video Monitor (TV).
Switch your TV set’s input to match the type of
video used for the currently selected source.
Step 6. Plug all components into AC power outlets.
The outlets on the back of the AVR 225 may
be used
only for low-current products, such as
CD or DVD players, as long as the total does
not exceed 100 watts.

Step 7. Select digital inputs: If your DVD is connected
to Coax 1, no adjustment is needed. For any
other digital-device connections, use the On-
Screen In/Out Setup menu or the front-panel
Digital Select button and the arrow buttons to
select an optical or coax digital input
(see pages 17–18 and 26).
Step 8.
Select a surround mode: Press the Surround
Mode button on the front panel to select

II – Movie. (You may select
other modes later as you become familiar with
the AVR 225; see pages 18 and 25–26.)
Step 9. Configure speakers: No action is needed if
you have five “small” satellite-type speakers
and a subwoofer. Otherwise, use the OSD
Speaker Setup Menu, or press the Speaker
button and then the Set and arrow buttons to
select the correct speaker choices for your
system (see pages 19–20).
Step 10.
Use EzSet
™
to set output levels: Set the
Balance to 12 o’clock, and the Volume to
–15dB. Hold the remote in front of you at
shoulder level, and point it at the AVR 225.
Press the SPL button for 3 seconds, hold the
remote steady, and wait for the process to
complete (see pages 21–22).
Step 11.
Your system is configured – sit back and enjoy!
