Operating Your AVR
Selecting a Source
There are three different ways to select a source:
sPress the front-panel Source List button. Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll through
the sources, and press the OK button to select the source being displayed.
sUsing the on-screen menus, press the AVR button, highlight “Source Select” and
press the OK button. Scroll to the desired source in the slide-in menu and press the
OK button.
sYou can directly select any source by pressing its Source Selector button on the
remote.
The AVR selects the audio and video inputs assigned to the source, and any other settings
you made during setup.
The source name, the audio and video inputs assigned to the source, and the surround
mode will appear on the front panel. The source name and active surround mode will also
briefly appear on the TV screen.
Video Troubleshooting Tips
If there is no picture:
sCheck the source selection and video input assignment.
sCheck all connections for a loose or incorrect connection.
sCheck the video input selection on the TV/display device.
sPress the front-panel Resolution button and use the Up/Down buttons until the
correct video output resolution is selected and a picture appears. The CANCEL
message will also appear. Press the Down button to view the ACCEPT option,
then press the OK button.
Additional Tips for Troubleshooting HDMI Connections
sTurn off all devices (including the TV, the AVR and any source components).
sUnplug the HDMI cables, starting with the cable between the AVR and the TV,
and continuing with the cables between the AVR and each source device.
sCarefully reconnect the cables from the source devices to the AVR. Connect the
cable from the AVR to the TV last.
sTurn on the devices in this order: TV, AVR, source devices.
NOTE: Depending upon the particular components involved, the complexity of
the required communication between HDMI components may cause delays of
up to a minute in the completion of some actions, such as input switching or
switching between SD and HD channels.
Listening to FM and AM Radio
Select the Radio source. A screen similar to the one in the illustration below will appear.

Use the Up/Down buttons or the Remote’s Channel buttons to tune a station as displayed
on the front panel and on-screen display.
The AVR defaults to automatic tuning, meaning each press of the Up/Down buttons scans
up or down the frequency band until a station with acceptable signal strength is found.
To switch to manual tuning, in which each press of the Up/Down buttons steps through
a single tuning frequency increment, press the remote’s Menu button. A slide-in menu
will appear. Select “Mode,” and press the OK button to toggle between automatic and
manual tuning modes.
Once you have tuned an FM station, toggling the Mode setting also switches the radio
between stereo and monaural reception. (Mono reception may improve reception of
weaker stations.)
Preset Stations
You can store a total of 30 stations (AM and FM combined) as presets. When you want
to save the currently tuned station as a preset, press the OK button, and two dashes will
flash. Use the Number buttons to enter the desired preset number.
To tune to a preset station:
sPress the Left/Right buttons.
sPress the skip forward/skip backward Transport Control buttons.
sPress the Menu button and scroll to the desired preset, then press the OK button.
sEnter the preset number using the Number buttons. For presets 10 through 30, press
0 before the preset number. For example, to enter preset 21, press 0-2-1.
Listening to Media on a USB Device
Your AVR is compatible with MP3 and WMA media.
MP3 compatibility: Mono or stereo, contstant bit rates (CBR) from 8kbps to 320kbps,
variable bit rates (VBR) from lowest to highest quality, with sample rates from 8kHz –
48kHz.
WMA compatibility: Ver. 9.2, stereo CBR with 32kHz – 48kHz sampling rate and 40kbps
– 192kbps bit rate, mono CBR with 8kHz – 16kHz sampling rate and 5kbps – 16kbps bit
rate, VBR Pass Encoding and Quality Encoding 10 – 98, 44kHz and 48kHz sampling rate.
No other types of media can be played.
