NOTE: When the display has a DVI input which

is connected to the AVR using an HDMI-to-DVI

adapter, if the display is not HDCP-compliant,

the picture will be distorted. In that case, a

different video connection must be used

(component, composite or S-video).

Resolution from Source: This line, which is

informational only, indicates the video format

(NTSC or PAL) output by the source device.

Adjust Lip Sync: Use this adjustment to

resynchronize the audio and video signals from a

source to eliminate a “lip sync” problem. Lip

sync issues can occur when the video portion of

a signal undergoes additional processing in

either the source or the video display that

desynchronizes it from the audio. Select this line

to display the Lip Sync adjuster by itself, enabling

you to view the video while listening to the

audio. Use the M/N Buttons to delay the audio

by up to 180ms. See Figure 3.

Change Name: Use this line to change the

display name for your source.This can be useful

if your source’s device type is different from the

available source names. Select this line and use

the K/L Buttons to scroll forward or reverse

through the letters A through Z. When the

desired letter appears, use the N Button to

move the cursor to the next position. Move the

cursor again to leave a blank space. When you

have finished entering the new name, press the

OK Button. The name will be used on the front

panel to refer to the source, and will appear next

to its original name, e.g. DVD, throughout the on

screen menu system. To end the entry without

making any changes, press the Back/Exit Button.

Audio Input Polling: Use this setting when

both analog and digital audio connections are

made from the source device to the AVR. When

no digital signal is present, the AVR will

automatically switch to the analog audio input.

This can be useful for some older cable television

systems that broadcast some channels in analog

audio and others in digital audio. It is also useful

for making analog recordings of copy-protected

digital sources. However, it can be inconvenient

when no analog audio connection is made and

playback is stopped, as the audio signal will be

lost.

If an analog audio connection was made, select

it here. If not, choose the Off setting, and the

AVR will always use the digital audio

connection.

Zone 2 Audio: When a multizone system has

been connected and is in use, this setting

determines the source for the remote zone.

Select any analog audio input or the tuner.

Digital audio is not available to the multizone

system, nor is any type of video.

Use the Back/Exit Button to return to the Setup

Source line of the Main Menu. Press the OK

Button, and select the next source to configure.

When you have finished configuring all sources,

press the Back/Exit Button to clear the menus

from view.

You are now ready to begin enjoying your new

receiver!

Speaker Setup

With EzSet/EQ you are able to calibrate your sys-

tem in a fraction of the time it would take to

enter the settings manually, and with results that

rival those achieved with expensive test equip-

ment and time-consuming procedures. The end

result is a system calibration profile that enables

your new receiver to deliver the best possible

sound, no matter what type of speakers you

have or what the dimensions of your listening

room are.

We recommend that you take advantage of the

precision of EzSet/EQ to calibrate your system,

but if desired you may also make any of the con-

figuration settings manually, or trim the settings

provided by EzSet/EQ by following the instruc-

tions.

Figure 4

Step 1: EzSet/EQ requires that your listening

room have as little background noise as possible

to avoid interfering with the measurement of

tones produced by your AVR during the setup

procedure. Turn off all loud fans, air conditioners

and other equipment, and try to avoid making

any noise during the process.

Step 2: The EzSet/EQ microphone should be

placed in either your usual listening position or,

if there is a large seating area, the center of the

room, at the listeners’ ear level. You may find it

convenient to use a camera tripod for stable

placement of the EzSet/EQ microphone at the

correct height. The microphone includes a

hreaded insert on the bottom for tripod mount-

ing.

Step 3: Plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the

AVR 255/AVR 355’s Headphone Jack

making certain that the mini-plug to 1/4" phone

plug adaptor supplied with the microphone is

irmly connected. The microphone cable is

approximately 7 meter long, which should

accommodate most listening room situations. If

required, you may use an optional extension

cable, available at most electronics stores, for

use in larger rooms. However, we recommend

that you avoid using extension cords for the

microphone cable, as they may adversely affect

the test results.

Step 4: Once the microphone is properly posi-

tioned and plugged in, proceed to the Speaker

Setup menus by first pressing the AVR Settings

Button Y to bring the main Menu to the

screen. Next, press the

⁄

Navigation

Buttons

to highlight the Speaker

Setup

-tab, and press OK X to access the

SPEAKER SETUP MENU. Press the

⁄

Button F to select the Automatic

Setup - EzSet/EQ

-line and press the

OK Button X to move to the next screen

(Figure 5).

Figure 5

Step 5: The first screen of the EzSet/EQ system

will now appear to remind you to plug in the

microphone. If you have not already done so,

plug the microphone into the Headphone Jack

as described in steps 2 and 3.When you are

ready to proceed, make certain that the cursor is

pointing to Continue and press the OK Button

X. If you do not wish to continue with the

EzSet/EQ process, press the

⁄

Navigation

Buttons F

to highlight Cancel and then

press the OK Button X to return to the

Speaker Setup.
