SYSTEM CONFIgURATION

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.

Figure 3 – Adjust Lip Sync

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

Buttons to scroll forward

or reverse through the letters A through Z. When the desired letter appears,

use the

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 system in a fraction of the time

it would take to enter the settings manually, and with results that rival those

achieved with expensive test equipment 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

configuration settings manually, or trim the settings provided by EzSet/EQ by

following the instructions.

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 threaded insert on the bottom for tripod mounting.

Step 3

: Plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the AVR 260’s Headphone

Jack

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

supplied with the microphone is firmly 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 positioned and plugged in, proceed

to the Speaker Setup menus by first pressing the AVR Settings Button

bring the main Menu to the screen. Next, press the

Navigation Buttons

to highlight the

Speaker Setup

-tab, and press OK

to access the

Speaker Setup menu. Press the

Button

to select the

Automatic

Setup - EzSet/EQ

-line and press the OK Button

to move to the next

screen (Figure 5).
