REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
inadvertently set the scan type to progressive when your video display
or television is not capable of displaying progressively scanned video.
Although your video display may be distorted, you may restore inter-
laced scanning by pressing this button.
Disc Skip: This button has no effect on the AVR 144 or the DVD 27,
but is used with some optical disc changers to skip to the next disc.
Macros: These buttons may be programmed to execute long com-
mand sequences with a single button press. They are useful for pro-
gramming the command to turn on or off all of your components, or for
accessing specialized functions for a different component than the one
you are currently operating.
Dolby Surround Mode Selector: The first press of this button
will select the last-used Dolby surround mode, and each additional
press will cycle through the variants that are currently available. Not
all modes are available with all sources; see the AVR 144 manual for
more information.
DTS
®
Surround Mode Selector/A-B Repeat: The first press of
this button will select the last-used DTS Digital mode if DTS processing
is available, and each additional press will toggle between the 2.0 and
5.1 variants. See the AVR 144 manual for more information.
When the DVD player has been selected, this button serves the A-B
Repeat function. The first press while a disc is playing selects the begin-
ning of the passage you wish to repeat, and the second press selects
the end of the passage. The selected passage will play continuously until
the A-B button is pressed a third time, or play is stopped.
DTS Neo:6
®
Surround Mode Selector: The first press of this
button will select the last-used DTS Neo:6 surround mode if it is avail-
able, and each additional press will cycle through the variants that are
currently available. See the AVR 144 manual for more information.
Logic 7
®
Surround Mode Selector/Random: The first press
of this button will select the last-used Logic 7 surround mode if it is
available, and each additional press will cycle through the Cinema, Music
and Enhance modes. See the AVR 144 manual for more information.
When the DVD player has been selected, this button serves the Random
function. When a CD is playing and no playlist is active, each press of
this button turns Random track selection on or off.
Night Mode/Subtitle: Press this button to activate Night mode
with specially encoded Dolby Digital discs or broadcasts. Night mode
compresses the audio so that louder passages are reduced in volume
to avoid disturbing others, while dialogue remains intelligible.
When the DVD player has been selected, this button performs the Subtitle
function. Press it to select a subtitle language or to turn subtitles off.
NOTE: Due to the variations in how DVD discs are authored, the
subtitle languages displayed by the DVD 27 may not accurately
reflect the actual languages available on the disc. It is recom-
mended that subtitles be selected using the disc’s menu.
Stereo Modes/Repeat: The first press of this button will select
the last-used Stereo mode, which may be Surround Off or two-channel
processing. Each additional press will toggle between Surround Off
and 5-Channel Stereo. When an analog audio source is in use and
the AVR 144’s tone mode control has been set to Out, you may also
select analog bypass mode, which passes the analog input signal
to the volume control, bypassing digital signal processing. See the
AVR 144 manual for more information.
When the DVD player has been selected, each press of this button
cycles through the available repeat modes, excluding A-B Repeat.
Track Skip:These buttons have no effect on the receiver, but are
used with the DVD 27 and many source components to change tracks
or chapters.
Dim: Press this button to partially or fully dim the AVR 144’s front-
panel display.
Transport Controls:These buttons have no effect on the receiver,
but are used to control the DVD 27 and many source components.
By default, when the remote is operating the receiver, these buttons
will control the DVD 27.
