Installation and Connections System Installation After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio and video equipment. Audio Equipment Connections We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the integrity of the signals.
Installation and Connections VIDEO CONNECTION NOTE: Composite and S-Video signals may only be viewed in their native formats. S-Video inputs may only be viewed when the AVR 110 is connected to a TV set or video display with S-Video capability. System and Power Connections Remote Control Extension If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used.
System Configuration Speaker Selection and Placement The placement of speakers in a multichannel home-theater system can have a noticeable impact on the quality of sound reproduced. No matter which type or brand of speakers is used, the same model or brand of speaker should be used for the left front, center and right front speakers.
System Configuration System Setup Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps in the setup process are to program the AVR 110’s bass management system for the type of speakers used in your system, calibrate the output levels, and set the delay times used by the surround-sound processor.
System Configuration is due to the requirements of Logic 7 processing, and does not indicate a problem with your receiver. When CEN NONE is selected, no signals will be sent to the center-channel output. The receiver will operate in a “phantom” center-channel mode and center-channel information will be sent to the left- and right-front channel outputs. 7.
System Configuration L C R LS LFE RS To adjust and calibrate the output levels, follow these steps. For accurate calibration, it is a good idea to make these adjustments while seated in your favorite listening position: 1. Put the AVR 110 in the Dolby Pro Logic mode by pressing the Surround Mode Selector 7 on the front panel, or by pressing the Surround Mode Selector j on the remote, until PRO LOGIC appears in the Main Information Display W and the PRO LOGIC indicator F lights up. 2.
System Configuration To set the delay times, follow these steps: 1. Put the AVR 110 in the Dolby Pro Logic mode by pressing the Surround Mode Selector 7 on the front panel or by pressing the Surround Mode Selector j on the remote, until PRO LOGIC appears in the Main Information Display W and the PRO LOGIC indicator F lights up. 2. Press the Delay button 29 Ò on the remote or front panel. The words S DELAY TIME will appear in the Main Information Display W. 3. Press the Set button oÔ . 4.
Operation Basic Operation Once you have completed the setup and configuration of the AVR 110, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions will help you maximize the enjoyment of your new receiver: Turning the AVR 110 On or Off • When using the AVR 110 for the first time, you must press the Main Power Switch 1 on the front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3 .
Operation Surround Mode Chart MODE FEATURES DELAY TIME RANGE DOLBY DIGITAL Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low-Frequency Effects channel. Center: 0 ms – 5 ms Initial Setting – 0 ms Surround: 0 ms – 15 ms Initial Setting – 0 ms DTS Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data.
Operation Surround Mode Selection One of the most important features of the AVR 110 is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround-sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround-encoded programs and standard stereo programs. In all, a total of twelve listening modes are available on the AVR 110. Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source material being used.
Operation playing, the AVR 110 will automatically detect whether it is a multichannel Dolby Digital, DTS source, MP3 or a conventional PCM signal, which is the standard output from CD players. A Bitstream Indicator A will light in the Main Information Display Û to confirm that the digital signal is Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM. MP3: When the MP3 indicator lights, a compatible MPEG 1/Layer 3 digital signal is being received.
Operation 3. Note that not all digitally encoded programs contain full 5.1-channel audio. Consult the program guide that accompanies the DVD or laser disc to determine which type of audio has been recorded on the disc. The AVR 110 will automatically sense the type of digital surround encoding used and adjust to accommodate it. 4. When a digital source is playing, you may not be able to select some of the analog surround modes such as Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3, Stereo, Hall, Theater or Logic 7. 5.
Operation Preset Tuning Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in the AVR 110’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 28 on the remote. Note that the MEMORY indicator S will be illuminated and flash in the Main Information Display Û. 2.
Programming the Remote The AVR 110 is equipped with a powerful remote control that will control not only the receiver’s functions, but also most popular brands of audio and video equipment, including CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theater equipment.
Programming the Remote Macro Programming Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of commands with the press of a single button on the AVR 110’s remote control. Once programmed, a macro will send out up to 19 different remote codes in a predetermined sequential order enabling you to automate the process of turning on your system, changing devices, or other common tasks.
Programming the Remote buttons when operating most TV sets, VCRs or cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down indication is printed directly on the remote. For many standard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD functions, the standard function icons are printed on top of the buttons. For some products, however, the function of a particular button does not follow the command printed on the remote. In order to see which function a button controls, consult the Function List tables printed on pages 31 and 32.
Programming the Remote 2. Press the Play button w. The Program Indicator c will stop flashing and stay amber. 3. Press and release the Input Selector button e for the device that will be used to change the channels. The Program Indicator c will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry. Example: To control the transport of a DVD player while the remote is set to control the TV, first press the VID 2/TV Input Selector button e and the Mute button 35 at the same time.
