Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 230 is sent to
the record outputs. This means that any program you
are watching or listening to may be recorded simply
by placing machines connected to the
Tape Outputs
£ or Video 1/Video 2 Audio and Video and
S-Video Outputs gi in the Record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the
Digital Audio Outputs ·a, 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 sig-
nal 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.

Output Level Trim Adjustment
Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 230 is
established using the test tone, as outlined on pages
21–23. 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 Ù
.
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 Selector Button to activate the sensor.
While the test tone is circulating, the
Program/SPL
Indicator
c will change color to indicate the level.
Adjust the level using the
⁄

¤
Buttons
n
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 Selector Button to turn the
sensor and indicator off.
Once the reference level has been set, press the
Channel Select Button
m
and FRONT L
LEV
will appear in the Lower Display Line ¯.
To change the level, first press the
Set Button p,
and then use the
⁄

¤
Buttons
n
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
p and then press the

n
to select the next output channel location that you
wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press
the

Buttons
n
until WOOFER LEV
appears in the Lower Display Line ¯.
Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels
requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjust-
ments have been made and no further adjustments
are made for five seconds, the AVR 230 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 Ù . Then, press the OSD
Button
