[. . . ] AVR 247 AUDIO/VIDEO RECEIVER OWNER'S MANUAL SAFETY INFORMATION home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current-line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. [. . . ] We recommend leaving the tone controls at their factory defaults for most listening, in order to enjoy the sound mix created by your favorite movie and music artists. However, if your room or speakers have unusual characteristics, or simply as a matter of personal preference, see the Tone Controls section on page 38 for more information. VIDEO MODE: This setting is used only with a fully analog video path (composite, S-video or component video). Due to the design of some analog video displays and the nature of the video standard, there may be timing issues with the AVR. If you observe some minor video instability when using the AVR's analog video outputs, try changing the Video Mode setting to Mode B. If you continue to observe problems, connect your source device's video output directly to the video display, or consider upgrading to an HDMI-capable display. You are now ready to begin enjoying your new receiver! 36 OPERATION Now that you have installed your system components and completed at least a basic configuration of your receiver, you are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system. Sleep Timer You may program the AVR to play for up to 90 minutes and then turn off automatically using the sleep timer. Press the Sleep Button on the remote, and the time until turn-off will be displayed. Each additional press of the Sleep Button will reduce the time until turn-off by 10 minutes, until the OFF setting is reached, which disables the sleep timer. Turning On the AVR 247 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. This indicates that the AVR is in Standby mode and is ready to be turned on. Normally, you may leave the Master Power Switch in the ON position, even when the receiver is not being used. See Figure 58. Figure 61 ­ Sleep Button Figure 58 ­ Power Switches There are several ways in which the AVR 247 may be turned on: a) Press the Standby/On Switch on the front panel. See Figure 59. When the sleep timer has been set, the front-panel display will automatically dim to half-brightness. If you press any button on the remote or front panel, the display will return to full-brightness. If you press the Sleep Button after the timer has been set, the remaining time until turn-off will be displayed. Pressing and holding the Sleep Button will disable the sleep timer, and the SLEEP OFF message will appear. Volume Control Figure 59 ­ Source Select Button c) Using the remote, press any one of these buttons: AVR, DVD/CD, TAPE/The Bridge, HDMI 1/HDMI 2, VID1, VID2, VID3, VID4, XM, AM/FM, 6/8CH. See Figure 60. The volume may be adjusted either by turning the knob on the front panel (clockwise to increase volume or counterclockwise to decrease volume), or by pressing the Volume Control Buttons on the remote. The volume is displayed as a negative number of decibels (dB) below the 0dB reference point, and may be changed in 0. 5dB increments. Unlike the volume controls on some other products, 0dB is the maximum volume for the AVR 247. Although it's physically possible to turn the volume to a higher level, doing so may damage your hearing and your speakers. For certain more dynamic audio materials, even 0dB may be too high, allowing for damage to equipment. Figure 60 ­ AVR and Input Selectors NOTE: Any time you press one of the remote's Input Selectors (i. e. , DVD/CD, TAPE/The Bridge, XM, VID1, VID2, VID3, VID4 or HDMI 1/HDMI 2), the remote will switch modes so that it will only operate that device.
