OPERATION
then connect the player’s composite or S-video output to the AVR’s
corresponding DVD video input.
c) Connect the player’s 6-channel analog audio outputs to the AVR’s
6-Channel Inputs and assign the Component Video 1 inputs to
this source using the Input Setup menu, as described in the Initial
Setup section.
d) Program the player’s remote control codes into the DVD Input
Selector. Note that not all commands will necessarily be available.
When you wish to view a DVD, simply select the DVD source.
When you wish to listen to a DVD-Audio disc and view the menus
and other still images on the disc, first select DVD, and then the
6-Channel Inputs as the source.
Example 2: In this example, your multichannel disc player is equipped
with an HDMI output. Connect it as follows:
a) Connect the player’s coaxial digital audio output to the Coaxial 2 input
on the AVR. This input is assigned by default to the HDMI 1 source.
b) Connect the player’s HDMI output to the HDMI 1 source input, and
make sure to connect the AVR’s HDMI Output to your video display.
c) Connect the player’s 6-channel analog audio outputs to the AVR’s
6-Channel Inputs and then select an unused component video input
at the COMPONENT IN line to avoid inadvertently selecting the video
signal from another device.
d) Program the player’s remote control codes into the HDMI 1 Input Selector.
When you wish to view a DVD, simply select the HDMI 1 source.
When you wish to play a multichannel disc, first select the HDMI 1
source to obtain the correct video signal, then select the 6-Channel
Inputs to select the audio signal.
To select the 6-Channel Inputs as the source, use either the Source
Selector on the front panel or press the 6CH Input Selector on the
remote. See Figure 67.
Figure 67 – 6-Channel Input Selector
NOTE: The 6-Channel Inputs pass the incoming signals directly
to the volume control, without digitizing or processing them.
Therefore, you will need to configure bass management settings
(i.e., speaker size, delay and output level) on your source device
so that they match the settings you programmed using EzSet/EQ,
which may be viewed using the Manual Setup menu (see the
Advanced Functions section). Consult the owner’s guide for your
multichannel player for more information.
Using the Tuner
The AVR 147’s built-in tuner may be selected in one of three ways
(see Figure 68):
1. Press the Source Selector Button on the front panel repeatedly until
the tuner is selected. The last-used band (AM or FM) will be active.
2. Press the Tuner Band Button (marked AM/FM). Press this button
again to switch bands. This will also enable you to select XM Radio,
which is described separately in the next section.
3. Press the Tuner Input Selector (marked AM/FM) on the remote.
Press this button again to switch bands (AM, FM or XM).
Figure 68 – Tuner Input Selection
Radio stations may be selected in one of four ways (see Figure 69):
1. If you know the frequency number, enter it directly by first pressing
the Direct Button on the remote, and then using the Numeric Keys.
2. After you have programmed Preset stations (see below), enter either
the Preset number (1 through 30) using the remote, or use the
Preset Stations Button (front-panel or remote) to scroll through the
list of presets.
3. In Auto tuning mode, with each press of the Tuning Buttons (front-
panel or remote) the AVR 147 will scan in the chosen direction until
a station with acceptable signal strength is detected. Press the Tuning
Button again to stop scanning.
4. In Manual tuning mode, with each press of the Tuning Buttons the
AVR 147 will tune the next frequency increment (0.1MHz for FM, or
10kHz for AM) in the selected direction. Press and hold the Tuning
Button for faster scanning.
Figure 69 – Tuning a Station
Press the Tuning Mode Button (TUN-M on the remote) to switch
between Auto and Manual tuning modes. See Figure 70. When an FM
station has been tuned, pressing the Tuning Mode Button will switch
between stereo and mono tuning, which may improve reception of
weaker stations.
