System Remote Control Functions, continued
In addition to controlling the AVR, the AVR remote is capable of controlling eight other
devices, including an iPod/iPhone device connected to the A VR’ s front-panel USB port.
During the installation process, you may program the codes for each of your source
components into the remote. (See Program the Remote to Control Y our Source Devices
and TV, on page 19, for programming information.) T o operate a component, press its
Source Selector button to change the remote’ s control mode.
A button’ s function depends on which component is being controlled. See T able A13 in
the Appendix for listings of the functions for each type of component. Most of the buttons
on the remote have dedicated functions, although the precise codes transmitted vary
depending on the specific device being controlled. Due to the wide variety of functions for
various source devices, we have included only a few of the most-often used functions on
the remote: number buttons, transport controls, television-channel control, menu access
and power on and off. Buttons dedicated to the AVR – AVR Power On/Off, Surround
Modes, V olume, Mute, Delay and Sleep Settings – are available at any time, even when
the remote is controlling another device.
Power On/P ower Off buttons: Press these buttons to turn the AVR on and put it into
Sleep or turn it off. See Power Indicator/Power Button, on page 5, for more information.
IR T ransmitter: As buttons are pressed on the remote, infrared codes are emitted
through this lens.
Mute button: Press this button to mute the AVR’ s speaker-output connectors and
headphone jack. T o restore the sound, press this button or adjust the volume.
Source Selector buttons: Press one of these buttons to select a source device, e.g.,
Disc, Cable/Sat, Radio, etc. This action will also turn on the A VR and switch the remote’ s
control mode to operate the selected source device.
• The first press of the Radio button switches the A VR to the last-used tuner band (AM
or FM). Each successive press changes the band.
• The first press of the USB button switches the A VR to the last-used source (USB or
iPod). Each successive press cyc les between the two sources.
• The first press of the Network button switches the A VR to the last-used source
(Network or vT uner). Each successive press c ycles between the two sources.
AVR button: Press to put the remote into the AVR control mode.
Surround Modes button: Press this button to access the Surround Modes submenu.
Select a surround-mode category: Auto Select, Virtual Surround, Stereo, Movie, Music or
Game. When you select the category , it is highlighted and the surround mode changes.
T o change the surround mode for the selected categor y navigate to the Surround Mode
menu in the AVR’ s on-screen display menu, select the desired category , and use the Left/
Right buttons to select one of the available surround modes. See the Advanced Functions
section, on page 27, for more information.
OSD/Menu button: When the remote is controlling the A VR, press this button to display
the AVR’ s on-screen display (OSD) menu. This button is also used within the tuner menus
and an iPod connected to the AVR’ s front-panel USB port, and is also used to display the
main menu on some source devices.
OK button: This button is used to select items from the menu system. It is also used to
toggle between the Manual and Automatic tuning modes for FM or AM radio. T o toggle
between these options, press and hold this button for more than 3 seconds.
Up/Down/Left/Right buttons: These buttons are used to navigate the menu system and
to operate the tuner .
Back/Exit button: Press this button to return to the previous menu or to exit the menu
system.
Info/Option button: Press to display the available option settings for the current
source.
Number buttons: Use these buttons to enter numbers for radio-station frequencies or
to select station presets.
Clear button: Press this button to clear a radio station frequenc y you have started to
enter .
T est T one button: Press this button to activate test noise that will circulate through each
speaker , allowing you to adjust the individual speaker levels. Use the Up/Down buttons
to switch the noise to a different speaker and use the Left/Right buttons to change the
volume of the speaker the noise is playing through.
Delay Adjust button: Pressing this button lets you adjust two different types of delay
settings (use the Up/Down buttons to cycle through the settings):
• Lip Sync: This setting lets you resynchronize the audio and video signals from a
source to eliminate a “lip sync” problem. Lip-sync issues can occur when the video
portion of a signal undergoes additional processing in either the source device or the
video display . Use the Left/Right buttons to delay the audio by up to 180ms.
• Distance: These settings let you set the delay for each speaker to compensate for the
different distances they may be from the listening position. Use the Up/Down buttons
to cyc le through each of the system’ s speakers, and use the Left/Right buttons to set
the distance each speaker is from the listening position. See Configure the A VR for
Y our Speakers, on page 20, for more information.
Sleep button: Press this button to activate the sleep timer , which turns off the receiver
after a programmed period of time. Each press decreases the time by 10 minutes, down
from 90 minutes – ending with the “Sleep Off” message.
Volume Up/Down buttons: Press these buttons to raise or lower the volume.
Channel/T uner buttons: When radio has been selected, press these buttons to select a
preset radio station. While opera ting a cable, satellite or HDTV set-top box or a television,
press these buttons to change channels.
T one button: Pressing this button lets you adjust the T one settings for the current source.
Use the Left/Right buttons to switch between On and Off, or to adjust the Bass or T reble
from -10dB to +10dB. See Set Up Y our Sources, on page 22, for more information.
Display Dimmer button: Press this button to dim the AVR’ s front-panel display partially
or fully .
Preset Scan button: When Radio is the selected source, press this button to play each of
your preset radio stations in order for five seconds. Pressing the button again to remain
tuned to the current station.
Direct button: Press this button to directly tune to a radio station by using the Number
buttons to enter its frequency .
Memory button: Press this button to save the current radio or vT uner station as a
preset.
RDS button (AVR 101IN only): When listening to an FM radio station that broadcasts
RDS information, this button activates the various RDS functions.
T ransport Control buttons: These buttons are used to control source devices.
Previous Channel button: In AVR control mode, this button lets you adjust the output
levels for each speaker individually . Use the Up/Down buttons to cycle through each
speaker , and use the Left/Right buttons to set the level of that speaker . See Configure the
AVR for Y our Speakers, on page 20, for more information. When TV is the selected source,
press this button to switch to the previously-tuned channel.
