Preset Tuning

Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be
stored in the AVR 220’s memory for easy recall
using the front panel controls or the remote.

To enter a station into the memory, first tune
the station using the steps outlined above.
Then:

1. Press the

Memory Button

on the

remote. Note that the

MEMORY

Indicator

will be illuminated and flash in the

Main

Information Display

2. Within five seconds, press the

Numeric

Keys

corresponding to the location where

you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once
entered, the preset number will appear in the

Preset Number/Sleep Time Display

3. Repeat the process after tuning any
additional stations to be preset.

Recalling Preset Stations

• To manually select a station previously
entered in the preset memory, press the

Numeric Keys

on the

front panel or remote.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 220 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

™

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 220 is established using the test tone, as
outlined on pages 21 and 22. 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 reference SPL level. To use the remote for
this purpose, press and quickly release the

SPL

Button

to activate the sensor. While the

test tone is circulating, the

Program/ SPL

Indicator

will change color to indicate the

level. Adjust the level as shown on pages 22

and 23 until the LED lights green for all chan-
nels. When it is red the level is too high; when
it is amber the level is too low. Press the

SPL

Button

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 220 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).
