33OPERATIONINDEPENDENT, the AVR 145 will change the speaker size configurationto the one you programmed for the source. If you selected a surroundmode for the source, the AVR 145 will switch to that mode.The source name will appear in the upper line of the front-panel display.If you retitled the source, only the new title will appear. Otherwise, theaudio input assigned to the source (analog or one of the digital audioinputs) will also appear. The surround mode will be displayed on thelower line. The same information will also appear on screen in thesemi-OSD, unless you have set the semi-OSD to OFF in the SystemSetup menu.Audio Input SelectionThe AVR 145 is programmed at the factory to use the analog audioinputs for each source (except for the DVD and Video 2 sources, whichdefault to Coax 1 and Optical 1). To assign a digital audio input to asource (if you have not done so using the Input Setup menu duringInitial Setup), press the Digital Button on the remote or front panel. Thecurrent audio input selection will flash in the display, and you may pressthe ⁄/¤ (or ‹/› on the front panel) Buttons to scroll through theaudio inputs. When the desired input appears, press the Set Button toselect it.Figure 53 – Digital Input SelectionIf the Auto Poll feature has been left ON in the Input Setup menu, and ifa digital audio input has been assigned to the source, the AVR 145 willfirst check the digital audio input for a signal. If a signal is present, theAVR 145 will select the digital audio input. If no signal is present, theAVR 145 will switch to the analog audio inputs for the source.Video Input SelectionWhen a source is selected, the AVR 145 switches to a video inputas follows:The COMPONENT IN line of the Input Setup menu indicates whichof the two component video inputs on the AVR 145 is assigned toeach source. All of the sources listed in the left column of the SourceIndicators display on the front panel are assigned to the ComponentVideo 2 inputs by default, and the sources listed in the right columndefault to the Component Video 1 sources. This list appears inFigure 54.Figure 54 – Front-Panel Input IndicatorsYou may reassign either component video input to another source, butthere is no option to disable the component video inputs for any source.If a signal is present at the component video input assigned to thatsource, it will be selected. If your device is not using component video,make sure that other devices connected to the component video inputsare turned off.If no signal is present at the component video input, then the S-video orcomposite video input for the source will be selected. It is not possibleto reassign the S-video or composite video inputs to other sources.For audio-only sources, such as the tuner or CD inputs, when nocomponent video signal is present, the last-used video source will beselected.6-Channel Direct InputsIf you wish to hear audio through the 6-Channel Direct Inputs togetherwith video, then connect your multichannel player to the ComponentVideo 1 Inputs (the default for the 6-Channel Inputs), and the correctaudio and video inputs will be selected when you select 6CH as yoursource. If your multichannel player uses S-video or composite videoconnections, you will first need to select the source you connected thevideo output to (e.g., DVD), and then select the 6CH source.Figure 55 – 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 using theManual Setup menu. Consult the owner’s guide for your multi-channel player for more information.Using the TunerThe AVR 145’s built-in tuner may be selected in one of three ways: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. Pressthis button again to switch bands.Figure 56 – Tuner Input SelectionDIGITAL LOGIC 7 VID 1 DVDCDFMAMTAPE6 8 CHVID 2VID 3PRO LOGIC3 STEREO DSP5 7 CH. STEREOSURR. OFF24AVR145 harman/kardon
