Remote Control Functions
DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed. s Tuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tuning and manual tuning. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO Indicator R goes out, pressing the Tuning Buttons u8 will move the frequency up or down in single-step increments. When the FM band is in use, pressing this button when a station�s signal is weak will change to monaural reception. (See page 28 for more information.) t Direct Button: Press this button when the tuner is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a station�s frequency. After pressing the button simply press the proper Numeric Keys r to select a station. (See page 28 for more information on the tuner.) u Tuning Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, these buttons will tune up or down through the selected frequency band. If the Tuner Mode Button s@ has been pressed so that the AUTO Indicator R is illuminated, pressing and holding either of the buttons for three seconds will cause the tuner to seek the next station with acceptable signal strength for quality reception. When the AUTO Indicator R is NOT illuminated, pressing these buttons will tune stations in single-step increments. (See page 28 for more information.) v OSD Button: Press this button to activate the On Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or adjust the AVR 220�s parameters. w Macro Buttons: Press these buttons to store or recall a �Macro�, which is a preprogrammed sequence of commands stored in the remote. (See page 34 for more information on storing and recalling macros.) x Transport Controls: These buttons do not have any functions for the AVR 220, but they may be programmed for the forward/ reverse play operation of a wide variety of CD or DVD players, and audio or video cassette recorders. (See page 35 for more information on programming the Transport Control PunchThrough capability of the remote.) y Skip Up/Down Button: This button has a direct function with the AVR 220, but when used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD changer they will change the disc currently being played in the changer. z Disc Skip Button: This button has no direct function for the AVR 220, but is often used when the remote is programmed to operate a CD or DVD changer to change the discs in the changer. (See page 34 for more information on using the remote with other devices.) ` Preset Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, press these buttons to scroll through the stations programmed into the AVR 220�s memory. When some source devices, such as CD players, VCRs and cassette decks, are selected using the device Input Selectors e, these buttons may function as Chapter Step or Track Advance.
28 Clear Button: Press this button to clear

33 for information on programming the remote with codes for other devices.)
34 Volume Up/Down: Press these buttons to

raise or lower the system volume. See page 35 for more information on programming the Volume Control Punch-Through capability of the remote, which allows you to change the AVR 220�s volume while the remote is set to control another device.
35 TV/Video Selector: This button does not

have a direct function on the AVR 220, but when used with a compatibly programmed VCR, DVD or satellite receiver that has a �TV/Video� function, pressing this button will switch between the output of the player or receiver and the external video input to that player. Consult the owner�s manual for your specific player or receiver for the details of how it implements this function.
36 SPL Button: This button activates the AVR

incorrect entries when using the remote to directly enter a radio station�s frequency.
29 Memory Button: Press this button to

enter a radio station into the AVR 220�s preset memory. Once the MEMORY Indicator O flashes, you have five seconds to enter a preset memory location using the Numeric Keys r. (See page 29 for more information.)
30 Delay/Prev Ch.: Press this button to

begin the process for setting the delay times used by the AVR 220 when processing surround sound. After pressing this button, the delay times are entered by pressing the Set Button o and then using the �/¤ Buttons mq to change the setting. Press the Set Button o again to complete the process. (See page 18 for more information.)
31 � Button: Press this button to change a

220�s EzSet function to quickly and accurately calibrate the AVR 220�s output levels. Press and hold the button for three seconds and then release it. Note that the Test Tone will begin circulating, and the Program/SPL Indicator c will change colors. During this sequence, EzSet will automatically adjust the output levels for all channels until they have equal output levels, as shown by the Program/SPL Indicator c lighting green for each channel. Press this button again when the adjustment is complete to turn off the test tone. (See page 21 for more information on EzSet.)
37 6-Channel Direct Input: Press this but-

setting or selection when configuring many of the AVR 220�s settings.
32 Speaker Select: Press this button

ton to select the component connected to the 6-Channel Direct Input ª as the source.
38 Mute: Press this button to momentarily

to begin the process of configuring the AVR 220�s bass management system for use with the type of speakers used in your system. Once the button has been pressed, use the �/¤ Buttons mq to select the channel you wish to set up. Press the Set Button o and then select another channel to configure. When all adjustments have been completed, press the Set Button o twice to exit the settings and return to normal operation. (See page 19 for more information.)
33 Spare Button: This button does not have

silence the AVR 220 or TV set being controlled, depending on which device has been selected. When the AVR 220 remote is being programmed to operate another device, this button is pressed with the Input Selector Button e to begin the programming process. (See page 33 for more information on programming the remote.) microphone for the EzSet microphone is behind these slots. When using the remote to calibrate speaker output levels using EzSet, be sure that you do not hold the remote in a way that covers these slots. (See page 21 for more information on using EzSet.)
39 EzSet Sensor Microphone: The sensor

any function for the operation of the AVR 220, but it is available for use when programmed with the code from another remote. (See page
