VCR Operation

The AV9 has a fully independent VCR loop for audio and video (Composite and S-video only). This can

be congured to record the source you are watching to or to record any other input using the Record to

VCR option in the ‘Main Menu Screen 2’.

Pressing the VCR button selects audio and video from the VCR input.

If the Record to VCR option is set to Source (its default setting), the VCR LED illuminates as

well as the previously selected input.

If the Record to VCR option is set to a specic input, the VCR LED illuminates as well as the

input selected in the VCR menu.

This indicates the VCR loop is active and displays the source that will be recorded.

For example, if Record to VCR is set to Source and you want to record the SAT input:

Select the SAT input then put your VCR into record pause so that it will monitor its input.

Press the VCR button, and you can now watch the audio and video actually being recorded by

your VCR from the satellite system.

If you select a different source from SAT, the recording changes to this source.

If you want to record from SAT while watching the AV input:

Call up the ‘Main Menu Screen 2’ and set Record to VCR to SAT.

Put your VCR into record pause so that it monitors its input, then press the VCR button.

You can now start the recording and watch the audio and video actually being recorded by your

VCR.

Once the recording is running, or you have set the timer on the VCR, press the AV button to

watch the AV input. The recording of the SAT input continues or starts when the timer activates.

You can check the progress of the recording at any time by pressing the VCR button again.

Stereo Direct

To listen to a pure analogue stereo input, press the DIRECT button. The Direct mode automatically

bypasses all processing and any surround functions. In Direct mode, digital processing is shut down to

improve the sound quality and reduces digital noise within the AV9 to an absolute minimum. The LED

above the DIRECT button on the front panel also lights to indicate this mode.

Note: When the digital processing is shut down, no digital output is available.

Volume control

It is important to realise that the position of the volume control indicator bar is not an accurate indication

of the power delivered to your loudspeakers. The AV9 often delivers its full output power long before

the volume control reaches its maximum position, particularly when listening to heavily recorded music.

In comparison, some movie sountracks can appear to be very quiet, as many directors like to keep the

maximum levels in reserve for special effect sequences.

If your system is set up as a THX-referenced conguration, the volume range covers –63dB to +19dB,

where 0dB is the THX reference level at which the movie director intended the movie to be reproduced.

If your room is small you may nd this too loud, so reduce the level until you are comfortable.

Normal 0–82: the volume range covers 0 to 82 in 1dB steps.

Fine 0–82: The volume range covers 0 to 82 in 0.5dB steps

0dB THX Ref: The volume range covers –63dB to +19dB in 1dB steps.

Headphones

To use headphones with the AV9, plug the headphones into the socket on the left hand side of the front

panel.

When headphones are plugged into the headphones socket the outputs for the zone to which they are

assigned is muted. If that zone is zone 1 and it is in a surround sound mode, the audio will be down-

mixed to two channels (2.0). The two-channel down-mix is required so that the centre channel and

surround information can be heard via the headphones.

Note: If the headphones are selected to Zone 2, only analogue sources can be heard as there is no

digital-to-analogue conversion available for Zone 2.

To listen to Zone 2 using the headphones:

Call up ‘Main Menu Screen 1’ by pressing the MENU button.

Navigate to screen 3 of the Main Menu by pressing the

button on the remote, or by turning

the volume knob on the front panel.

Move the highlighted line to Headphone Out.

Use the

button on the remote, or use the volume knob to select Zone 2.

When listening to Zone 2 via the headphones, you can control the source and volume from ‘Main Menu

Screen 3’.

To select a source:

Move the highlighted line to Zone 2 Audio.

Use the

buttons to select the source you wish to hear.

To change the volume:

Move the highlighted line to Vol.

Use the

buttons to move the volume up and down.

Note: If the headphones are associated with Zone 2, the main volume control knob on the AV9 will not

adjust the headphone volume level as this only controls the main zone 1 volume setting.
