38OPERATIONsource. If your video display doesn’t have component video inputs,then connect the player’s composite or S-video output to the DVD’scorresponding video input.c) Connect the player’s 6-channel analog audio outputs to the AVR’s6-/8-Channel Inputs and assign the Component Video 1 inputs tothis source using the Input Setup menu, as described in the InitialSetup section.d) Program the player’s remote control codes into the DVD InputSelector. Note that not all commands will necessarily be available.When you wish to view a DVD, simply select the DVD source.When you wish to listen to a DVD-Audio disc and view the menusand other still images on the disc, select the 6-/8-Channel Inputs asthe source.Example 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-/8-Channel Inputs and then select the CONVERT setting at theCOMPONENT IN line to avoid inadvertently selecting the video signalfrom 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-/8-ChannelInputs to select the audio signal.To select the 6-/8-Channel Inputs as the source, use either the SourceSelector on the front panel or press the 6/8CH Input Selector on theremote. See Figure 67.Figure 67 – 6-/8-Channel Input SelectorNOTE: The 6-/8-Channel Inputs pass the incoming signalsdirectly to the volume control, without digitizing or processingthem. Therefore, you will need to configure bass managementsettings (i.e., speaker size, delay and output level) on yoursource device so that they match the settings you programmedusing EzSet+, which may be viewed using the Manual Setupmenu (see Advanced Functions section). Consult the owner’sguide for your multichannel player for more information.Using the TunerThe AVR 245’s built-in tuner may be selected in one of three ways(see Figure 68):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. This will also enable you to select XM Radio,which is described separately in the next section.3. Press the Tuner Input Selector (marked AM/FM) on the remote. Pressthis button again to switch bands.Figure 68 – Tuner Input SelectionRadio stations may be selected in one of four ways (see Figure 69):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 Buttons (front panel or remote) to scroll through the list ofpresets.3. In Auto tuning mode, with each press of the Tuning Buttons (frontpanel or remote), the AVR 245 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 245 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 69 – Tuning a StationPress the Tuning Mode Button (TUN-M on the remote) to switchbetween Auto and Manual tuning modes. See Figure 70.
