Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the
A
VR 135 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
T
ape Outputs
£ or Video 1
Audio/Video
and S-Video
Outputs
dj in the Record mode .
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the
Digital Audio Outputs fl‡, you are able to record
the digital signal using a CD-R, Min iDisc or other digi t al
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.

copyright restrictions on any material you copy .

Output Level T rim Adjustment
Normal output level adjustment for the A VR 135 is
established using the test tone , as outlined on pages
20–21. 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 .
T o 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 a handheld SPL meter to
guide you to the correct SPL levels . Set the meter to
the C-Weighting Slow scale , and adjust the volume
until the meter reads 75dB .
Once the reference level has been set, press the
Channel Select Button
m
and FRONT L
LEVEL
will appear in the Lo
wer Display Line
¯.
T
o 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
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
n
to select the next output channel location that you
wish to adjust. T o adjust the subwoofer level, press
the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
n
until WOOFER
LEVEL
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
A VR 135 will return to
nor
mal 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
V
olume Control
Ù .
Then,
press the
OSD
Button v to bring up the MASTER
MENU
(Figure 1). Press the
¤
Button n until the on-
screen
›
cursor is next to the CHANNEL
ADJUST
line . Press the Set Button p to
activate the
CHANNEL
ADJUST
menu.
Once the menu appears on your video screen, first
use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n to move the on-screen
›
cursor so that it is next to the TEST
TONE
line . Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons o so that OFF
appears . This will turn off the test tone and allow you
to use your external test disc or other source material
as the reference
. Then, use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n
to select the channels to be adjusted.
At each channel
position, use the
‹
/
›
Buttons o to change the out-
pu t le ve l. Reme mb er , the goal is to have the output
level at each channel be equal when heard at the lis-
tening position. Regardless of the method used to
adjust the output levels , whether the test tone or an
external source is used, remember that when the A VR
is configured for 6.1 operation with only a single sur-
round back speaker , you will still have an output
adjustment for both a surround back left and surround
back right speaker location even though there is only
one speaker . This is not a duplicate adjustment.
Rather , it is needed so that the proper balance is
achieved for 7.1-channel processing modes when
the discrete surround back channels are mixed to a
single output.
If you wish to reset all the levels to their original
factory default of 0dB offset, press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
n so that the on-screen cursor is next to the
CHANNEL RESET line and press the
‹
/
›
Buttons o so that the word ON appears .
After the
levels are reset,
resume the procedure outlined above
to reset the levels to the desired settings . When all
adjustments are done
, press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
n
to move the on-screen
›
cursor so that it is next to
BACK
TO
MASTER MENU
and then press
the
Set Button p if you wish to go back to the
main menu to make other adjustments . If you have no
other adjustments 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
.

tem that preser
ves the system configuration information
and tuner presets if the unit is accidentally unplugged
or subjected to a power outage
