Within five seconds of seeing the
DIRECT IN
scroll in the
Upper Display Line
˜
, enter the
station frequency by pressing the
Numeric Keys
r
. If you press an incorrect button while entering
a direct frequency, press the
Clear Button
to
start over.
NOTE:
When the FM reception of a station is weak,
audio quality will be increased by switching to Mono
mode by pressing the
Tuner Mode Button
&s
so that
MANUAL
appears momentarily in the
Lower Display Line
¯
goes out. This will also
activate manual tuning mode.
Preset Tuning
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in
the AVR 135’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.
Two underscore lines will appear at the far right
side of the
Upper Display Line
˜
.
2. Within five seconds, press the
Numeric Keys
r
corresponding to the location where you wish to
store this station’s frequency. Once entered, the
preset number will appear in the
Upper Display
Line
˜
.
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
r
that correspond to the desired station’s memory
location.
• To manually tune through the list of stored preset
stations one by one, press the
Preset Stations

on the front panel or
remote.
Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 135 is sent to
the record outputs. This means that any program you
are watching or listening to may be recorded simply
by placing machines connected to the
Tape Outputs
£
or
Video 1 Audio/Video

in the Record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the
Digital Audio Outputs
fl‡
, 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 sig-
nal 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.

copyright restrictions on any material you copy.

Output Level Trim Adjustment
Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 135 is
established using the test tone, as outlined on pages
20–21. In some cases, however, it may be desirable
to adjust the output 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
Ù
.
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 a handheld SPL meter to
guide you to the correct SPL levels. Set the meter to
the C-Weighting Slow scale, and adjust the volume
until the meter reads 75dB.
Once the reference level has been set, press the
Channel Select Button
m
and
FRONTL
LEVEL
will appear in the
Lower Display Line
¯
. To change the level, first press the
Set Button
p
, and then use the
/
/
¤
Buttons
n
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
p
and then press the
/
/
¤
Buttons
n
to select the next output channel location that you
wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press
the
/
/
¤
Buttons
n
until
WOOFERLEVEL
appears in the
Lower Display Line
¯
.
Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels
requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjust-
ments have been made and no further adjustments
are made for five seconds, the AVR 135 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
Ù
. Then, press the
OSD
Button
v
to bring up the
MASTERMENU
(Figure 1). Press the
¤
Button
n
until the on-
screen
cursor is next to the
CHANNEL
ADJUST
line. Press the
Set Button
p
to
activate the
CHANNELADJUST
menu.
Once the menu appears on your video screen, first
use the
/
/
¤
Buttons
n
to move the on-screen
cursor so that it is next to the
TEST TONE
line. Press the
/
Buttons
o
so that
OFF
appears. This will turn off the test tone and allow you
to use your external test disc or other source material
as the reference. Then, use the
/
/
¤
Buttons
n
to select the channels to be adjusted. At each channel
position, use the
/
Buttons
o
to change the out-
put level. Remember, the goal is to have the output
level at each channel be equal when heard at the lis-
tening position. Regardless of the method used to
adjust the output levels, whether the test tone or an
external source is used, remember that when the AVR
is configured for 6.1 operation with only a single sur-
round back speaker, you will still have an output
adjustment for both a surround back left and surround
back right speaker location even though there is only
one speaker. This is not a duplicate adjustment.
Rather, it is needed so that the proper balance is
achieved for 7.1-channel processing modes when
the discrete surround back channels are mixed to a
single output.
If you wish to reset all the levels to their original
factory default of 0dB offset, press the
/
/
¤
Buttons
n
so that the on-screen cursor is next to the
CHANNEL RESET
line and press the
/
Buttons
o
so that the word
ON
appears.
After the
levels are reset, resume the procedure outlined above
to reset the levels to the desired settings. When all
adjustments are done, press the
/
/
¤
Buttons
n
to move the on-screen
cursor so that it is next to
BACKTOMASTERMENU
and then press
the
Set Button
p
if you wish to go back to the
main menu to make other adjustments. If you have no
other adjustments to make, press the
OSD Button
v
to 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.
Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory backup sys-
tem that preserves the system configuration information
and tuner presets if the unit is accidentally unplugged
or subjected to a power outage. This memory will last
for approximately four weeks, after which time all infor-
mation must be reentered.
