Operating Your AVR

Video Troubleshooting Tips
If there is no picture:

check the source selection and video input assignment.

check all connections for a loose or incorrect connection.

check the video input selection on the tv/display device.

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

turn off all devices (including the tv, the Avr and any source components).

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.
carefully reconnect the cables from the source devices to the Avr. connect the

cable from the Avr to the tv last.
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.

(note: the SIrIuS band uses a different screen.)

MENU

use the up/down buttons or the remote’s channel buttons to tune a station (or

channel for SIrIuS radio), 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:

press the left/right buttons.

press the skip forward/skip backward transport control buttons.

press the menu button and scroll to the desired preset, then press the ok button.

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 SIRIUS Satellite Radio

SIrIuS Satellite radio delivers a variety of commercial-free music from categories

including pop, rock, country, r&b, dance, jazz, classical and many more, plus coverage

of all the top professional and college sports, including play-by-play games from select

leagues and teams. Additional programming includes expert sports talk, uncensored

entertainment, comedy, family programming, local traffic and weather, and news from

your most trusted sources. SIrIuS Satellite radio is available to residents of the u.S.

(except Alaska and hawaii) and canada.
to listen to SIrIuS Satellite radio, you’ll need to connect a SIrIuS tuner module (sold

separately) to the Avr’s SIrIuS tuner connector. SIrIuS tuner modules that will work

with your Avr are available at www.sirius.com. Select a tuner module designated for

SIrIuS-ready

®

audio components (also called SIrIuSconnect). A SIrIuSconnect module

is controlled by the Avr’s internal tuner, including 40 preset SIrIuS station locations and

remote control. Although you may also use a SIrIuS “plug-and-play” unit with standard

analog audio connections, you will not be able to enjoy the Avr’s ease of control.
Installing the SIRIUS tuner module
once you’ve purchased a SIrIuS tuner, you’ll need to install it, activate it and subscribe

to begin enjoying the service:

using the cable included with the SIrIuS tuner module, plug the module into the SIrIuS

1.

front-panel message display. the song title, artist, channel name, channel category,

channel number, preset position (if programmed) and signal-strength bars will all appear

on the screen when a video display is in use. for traffic and weather channels, the current

city’s name will appear instead of the channel name.
