37OPERATIONExample 2: In this example, your multichannel disc player is equippedwith an HDMI output. Connect it as follows:a) Connect the player’s coaxial digital audio output to the Coaxial 2 inputon the AVR. This input is assigned by default to the HDMI 1 source.b) Connect the player’s HDMI output to the HDMI 1 source input, andmake sure to connect the AVR’s HDMI Output to your video display.c) Connect the player’s 6-channel analog audio outputs to the AVR’s6-Channel Inputs and then select an unused component video inputat the COMPONENT IN line to avoid inadvertently selecting the videosignal from another device.d) Program the player’s remote control codes into the HDMI 1 InputSelector.When you wish to view a DVD, simply select the HDMI 1 source.When you wish to play a multichannel disc, first select the HDMI 1source to obtain the correct video signal, then select the 6-ChannelInputs to select the audio signal.To select the 6-Channel Inputs as the source, use either the SourceSelector on the front panel or press the 6CH Input Selector on theremote. See Figure 61.Figure 61 – 6-Channel Input SelectorNOTE: The 6-Channel Inputs pass the incoming signals directlyto the volume control, without digitizing or processing them.Therefore, you will need to configure bass management settings(i.e., speaker size, delay and output level) on your source deviceso that they match the settings you programmed during InitialSetup. Consult the owner’s guide for your multichannel playerfor more information.Using the TunerThe AVR 146’s built-in tuner may be selected in one of three ways(see Figure 62):1. Press the Source Selector Button on the front panel repeatedly untilthe tuner is selected. The last-used band (AM or FM) will be active.2. Press the Tuner Band Button (marked AM/FM). Press this buttonagain to switch bands.3. Press the Tuner Input Selector (marked AM/FM) on the remote.Press this button again to switch bands.Figure 62 – Tuner Input SelectionRadio stations may be selected in one of four ways (see Figure 63):1. If you know the frequency number, enter it directly by first pressingthe Direct Button on the remote, and then using the Numeric Keys.2. After you have programmed Preset stations (see below), either enterthe Preset number (1 through 30) using the remote or use the PresetStations Button (front-panel or remote), to scroll through the list ofpresets.3. In Auto tuning mode, with each press of the Tuning Buttons (front-panel or remote) the AVR 146 will scan in the chosen direction untila station with acceptable signal strength is detected. Press the TuningButton again to stop scanning.4. In Manual tuning mode, with each press of the Tuning Buttons theAVR 146 will tune the next frequency increment (0.1MHz for FM, or10kHz for AM) in the selected direction. Press and hold the TuningButton for faster scanning.Figure 63 – Tuning a StationPress the Tuning Mode Button (TUN-M on the remote) to switchbetween Auto and Manual tuning modes. See Figure 64. When an FMstation has been tuned, pressing the Tuning Mode Button will switchbetween stereo and mono tuning, which may improve reception ofweaker stations.Figure 64 – Tuning ModeTo store a station in one of the 30 presets (see Figure 65):1. Tune the desired station.2. Press the Memory Button on the remote.3. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired preset number.Figure 65 – Storing a Preset Station
