in a prior menu item. It is recommended that you
record your settings for each input using the work-
sheets in the appendix to this manual, in the event
t
here is a power loss or if you need to reenter the
s
ettings for some other reason.
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR 140 is to configure
each input. Once an input is configured,
all settings for
the Digital Input, Component Video Input and Surround
Mode will “attach” themselves to that input and be
s
tored in a nonvolatile memory. The later selection of
that input will automatically recall those settings. For
that reason, the procedures described below must be
repeated for each input source so that you have the
opportunity to customize each source to your specific
listening requirements. However, once made, they
need not be changed again unless you need to alter
a setting.
When using the full-OSD system to make the setup
adjustments, press the
OSD Button v once so that
the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. The
cursor will be next to the INPUT SETUP line.
Press the
Set Button p to enter the menu and
the
INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear
on the screen. Press the
/
Buttons o until the
desired input name appears on the first line, as well
as being indicated in the front-panel
Input Indicators
Ú. If the input will use the standard left/right analog
inputs and will not use component video, no further
adjustment is needed.

NOTE: The DIGITAL IN line will default to
COAXIAL 1 when you select the DVD input.
When the Video 2 input is selected,
DIGITAL
IN
will default to OPTICAL 1.
The AVR 140 offers you the opportunity to rename
any source (except the tuner) to customize it for your
particular equipment configuration, e
.g. to designate
the source input to which you have connected a VCR,
or a DVD
-Audio
player. This name will appear in the
Upper Display Line P and in the on-screen display
whenever that source input is selected. If you wish to
rename a source, press the
¤ Button n until the
cursor is pointing to the NAME: line
.
Press the
Set Button p. A flashing box will appear. Press the
B
utton
n t
o scroll through the letters of the
alphabet first in upper case, then in lower case, then
the numerals 0 through 9, and then followed by the
symbols ! ‘ ( ) * + , - . / ; < = > ? [ ] and then a
b
lank space. Use the
¤ B
utton
n t
o scroll in the
reverse order. Use the
/ Buttons o to move
from one character to the previous or following char-
acter. You may create a name of up to 14 characters,
i
ncluding spaces. Press the
S
et Button
p w
hen
y
ou have finished entering the name, and then press
the
¤ Button n to proceed to the next setting.
If your system includes any sources that are equipped
with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the AVR 140
is able to switch them to send the proper signals to
your video display. Each of the two Component
Video Inputs
⁄¤ may be assigned to a source for
added system flexibility. The
Component Video 1
Input
may be assigned to any one of the DVD,
Tuner, CD or Tape inputs. The
Component Video 2
Input
¤ may be assigned to any one of the Video 1
(VCR), Video 2 (Cable/Sat), Video 3 (TV) or 6/8-
Channel Direct inputs. If your system does not include
component video at this time, or if you do not need to
change these defaults, press the
¤ Button n to
go to the next setting.
To change the Component Video assignment, first
make certain that the
cursor is pointing to the
COMPONENT IN line on the menu screen, and
then press the
/ Buttons o until you see the
desired input. When the desired component video
input has been selected, press the
¤ Button n
to go to the next setting.
If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with
the selected input source, press the
¤
Button n
on the remote while the INPUT SETUP menu
(Figure 2) is on the screen, and the on-screen cursor
will drop down to the
DIGITAL IN line.
Press
the
/
Buttons o until the name of the desired
digital input appears. To return to the analog input,
press the buttons until the word
ANALOG appears.
When the correct digital input jack appears, press the
¤
Button n once so that the
cursor appears
next to
BACK TO
MASTER
MENU
,
and
press the
Set Button p.
To change the digital input at any time using the dis-
crete function buttons and the semi-OSD system,
press the
Digital Select Button q on the remote.
Within five seconds
,
make your input selection using
the
/
¤
Buttons n until the desired digital or
analog input is shown in the
Upper Display Line P
and in the lower line of the
on-screen display
.
Press
the
Set Button p to enter the new digital input
assignment.
Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box
or HDTV set-top, may change between analog and
digital outputs, depending on which channel is in use.
T
he AVR 140’s Auto Polling feature allows you to
a
void losing the audio feed when this happens by
automatically searching both analog and digital con-
nections for a signal. Digital audio is the default, and
the unit will automatically switch to analog audio if the
d
igital audio stream stops.
I
n cases where only a digital source is used, such as
for a DVD player, you may wish to disable the Auto
Polling feature to prevent the AVR from trying to “find”
an analog source when the digital source is paused.
To turn Auto Polling off for any input, first make certain
that the
cursor is pointing to the AUTO POLL
line on the menu screen. Next, press the
/
Buttons o so that OFF appears. To restore
the Auto Polling feature, repeat the procedure at
any time so that
ON appears.
When DMP has been selected as the source
input, an additional line will appear in this menu that
lets you select whether you wish to allow your iPod to
continue charging while docked in when the
AVR 140 is turned off and placed in Standby mode.
To make your selection, press the
/¤ Buttons
n until the cursor is next to the line reading
RECHARGE IN ST-BY. Press the /
Buttons o until the word YES appears if you
wish charging to continue, and the blue lighting on
The Bridge will remain lit when the AVR 140 is in
Standby mode to indicate that charging is taking
place. The default setting is
NO, in which the docked
iPod will not continue to charge when the AVR 140
is tur
ned off, even though remains connected
to the AVR.
When all needed adjustments have been made, press
the
¤
Button n until the
cursor is next to
BACK TO MASTER MENU to continue with
the system configuration.
Audio Setup
This menu allows you to configure the tone controls. If
you do not wish to change those settings at this time,
proceed to the next menu screen.
However,
to make
configuration changes to those parameters, make cer-
tain that the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1) is on
screen with the
cursor pointing to the AUDIO
SETUP
line, and press the Set Button p. The
AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 3) will appear.
