Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 210 is
sent to the record outputs. This means that any
program you are watching or listening to may
be recorded simply by placing machines con-
nected to the outputs for

Tape Outputs

™

Video 1

2 Outputs

∞cf

in the record

mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to
the

Digital Audio Outputs

‚

, you are able

to record the digital signal using a CD-R,
MiniDisc or other digital recording system.

NOTES:

• The digital outputs are active only when a

digital signal 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.

• Please make certain that you are aware of

any copyright restrictions on any material you
copy. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted
materials is prohibited by federal law.

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the
AVR 210 is established using the test tone, as
outlined on pages 22 and 23. In some cases,
however, it may be desirable to adjust the out-
put 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.

To adjust the output levels using program
material, first set the reference volume for the
front-left and front-right channels using the

Volume Control

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
the EzSet feature of the remote to guide you to
the correct SPL level. To use the remote for this
purpose, press and quickly release the

SPL

Indicator Select

to activate the sensor.

While the test tone is circulating, the

Program/

SPL Indicator

will change color to indi-

cate the level. Adjust the level as shown above
until the LED lights green for all channels.
When it is red the level is too high; when it
is amber the level is too low. Press the

SPL

Indicator Select

to turn the sensor and

indicator off.

Once the reference level has been set, press
the

Channel Select

button

lÙ

and note

that

FRONT L LEV

will appear in the

Main Information Display

. To change

the level, first press the

Set

button

oÔ

and then use the

Selector

buttons

or the

⁄

buttons

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

oÔ

and then press the

Selector

buttons

or the

⁄

buttons

select the next output channel location that you
wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level,
press the

Selector

buttons

or the

⁄

buttons

until

WOOFER LEV

appears in the

Main Information Display

or on-screen display.

Press the

Set

button

oÔ

when the name of

the desired channel appears in the

Main

Information Display

and on-screen dis-

play, and follow the instructions shown earlier
to adjust the level.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan-
nels requiring adjustment have been set. When
all adjustments have been made and no further
adjustments are made for five seconds, the
AVR 210 will return to normal 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

Volume Control

. Then, press the

OSD

button

bring up the

MASTER MENU

(Figure 1).

Press the

button

four times until the on-

screen

›

cursor is next to the

CHANNEL

ADJUST

line. Press the

Set

button

activate the

CHANNEL ADJUST

(Figure 8).

Figure 8

Once the menu appears on your video screen,
use the

⁄

buttons

to move the on-

screen

›

cursor so that it is next to the channel

that you wish to adjust. Then, use the

‹

›

but-

tons

to raise or lower the output level.

Remember, the goal is to have the output level
at each channel be equal when heard at the
listening position.

When all adjustments are done, press the

⁄

buttons to move the on-screen

›

cur-

sor so that it is next to

RETURN TO

and then press the

Set

button

you wish to go back to the main menu to make
other adjustments. If you have no other adjust-
ments to make, press the

OSD

button

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.
