AVR146 INSTALLATION Step Nine – Turn On the AVR 146 Two steps are required the first time you turn on the AVR 146. 1. Gently press the Master Power Switch until the word OFF is no longer visible. The Power Indicator above the two power switches should light up in amber, indicating that the AVR is in Standby mode and is ready to be turned on.
AVR146 OPERATION Now that you have installed your system components and completed To turn the receiver off, press either the Standby/On Switch on the at least a basic configuration of your receiver, you are ready to begin front panel, or press the AVR Button and the OFF Button on the remote.
AVR146 OPERATION The AVR 146 is designed to reproduce audio with a minimum amount NOTE: The AVR 146 does not have a conventional balance of distortion, which may lead you to think that your hearing and the control. The speaker output level calibration process compen- equipment can handle higher volumes.
AVR146 OPERATION The source name will appear in the upper line of the front-panel display. If no signal is present at the component video input, then the S-video or If you retitled the source, only the new title will appear. Otherwise, the composite video input for the source will be selected.
AVR146 OPERATION Example 2: In this example, your multichannel disc player is equipped with an HDMI output. Connect it as follows: a) Connect the player’s coaxial digital audio output to the Coaxial 2 input on the AVR. This input is assigned by default to the HDMI 1 source.
