24 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Before using the unit, you will probably want to

change the settings for some inputs so that they

are properly configured to reflect the use of digi-

tal or analog inputs and the surround mode

associated with the input. Remember that since

the AVR memorizes the settings for each input

individually, you will need to make these adjust-

ments for each input used. However, once they

are made, further adjustment is only required

when system components are changed.

To make this process as quick and as easy as

possible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD

system with the on-screen menus, and step

through each input.

In/Out Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR is to select

an input, i.e. to associate an analog or digital

input with each input source in use, e.g. CD or

DVD. Note that once an input is selected, all set-

tings for the Digital Input, Speaker Configuration

and Surround Mode will ”attach” themselves to

that input and be stored in a non-volatile memo-

ry. This means that once made, the selection of

an 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 custom tailor 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

once so that the MASTER MENU (Figure 7)

appears. Note that the ➞ cursor will be next to

the

IN/OUT SETUP line. Press the Set but-

ton

to enter the menu and the IN/OUT

SETUP

menu (Figure 8) will appear on the

screen. Press the

‹/› buttons

until the

desired input name appears in the highlighted

video, as well as being indicated in the front

panel Input Indicators

Figure 8

When any input other than the tuner, 8-channel

inputs or USB input, is selected as the source,

you have the option of renaming the input as it

appears in the on-screen and front panel mes-

sages. This is helpful if you have more than one

VCR, if you wish to associate a specific product

brand name with the input, or to simply enter

any name that will help you to remember which

source is being selected.

To change the input name, press the

⁄

Navigation Button

on the remote so that

the ➞ cursor is pointing to

TITLE. Next, press

and hold the Set Button

for a few seconds

until a flashing box appears to the right of the

colon. Immediately release the Set Button

as you are now ready to enter the device name.

Press the

⁄

Navigation Button

and

note that a complete set of alpha-numeric char-

acters will appear with the start of the alphabet

in capital letters followed by the lower-case let-

ters and then numbers and symbols. When you

press the

Navigation Button

, a series

of symbols and numbers will appear, followed by

a reverse list of the alphabet in lower-case let-

ters. Press the button either way until the first

letter of the desired name appears. If you wish to

enter a blank space as the first character, press

the

›

Navigation Button

When the desired character appears, press the

›

Navigation Button

and repeat the process

for the next letter, and continue until the desired

name is entered, up to a maximum of fourteen

characters.

Press the Set Button

to enter the input

name into the system memory and to proceed

with the configuration process.

The audio input defaults for all sources except

the Tuner, USB and 6/8-Channel Direct inputs are

shown in the table in the Appendix. If your sys-

tem configuration follows the default table, no

changes are needed and you may press the

⁄

Navigation Button

F to move to

the next line.

With the cursor pointing to

AUDIO

IN-PORT

, press the

‹

›

Navigation

Button

F to change the default to a

different audio input connection. When the name

of the desired input appears, press the

⁄

Navigation Button

F to move to the

next line.

In normal operation, when a digital audio stream

is interrupted, the unit will automatically switch

to the analog inputs associated with that source.

This is particularly useful with cable set-top boxes

where the input is normally digital, but occasion-

ally changes to analog. If you wish to configure

an input so that the auto-poll circuit is turned off,

while the on-screen cursor is pointing to the

AUDIO AUTO POLL line, simply press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

F so that OFF

(rather than ON) is in a white video highlight.

When the desired auto-poll setting is entered,

press the

⁄

Navigation Button

F to

move to the next line.

When the cursor is at the

VIDEO IN-PORT

line, you are able to select an alternative to the

default input setting for the video input associat-

ed with any source. For the Video 1 and Video 4

inputs, the factory default of

AUTO will select

either composite or S-video, depending on which

has an active signal. For the Video 2, Video 3 and

DVD inputs, the

AUTO setting will normally

select the default component input, but if it is

not in use, the system will revert to a composite

or S-video output if either one is active.

To have the AVR always look to a specific source

connection when an input is selected, make cer-

tain that the on-screen cursor is pointing to the

VIDEO IN-PORT line, and then press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

F until the

name of the desired input appears. The default

setting for HDMI inputs is

AUTO and normally

need not be changed. However, in systems where

the HDMI connection is used for multichannel

audio only (e.g., HDMI 1.1), but the video con-

nection is component, due to limitations on the

video display, the setting here should be changed

COMPONENT.

When the desired video input setting has been

made, press the

⁄

Navigation Button

F to move to the next line.

If your system includes any sources that are

equipped with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs,

the AVR is able to switch them to send the prop-

er signals to your video display. Each of the

Component Video Inputs

JLf

assigned to a default source, as shown in the

table in the Appendix, but if you have connected

your system differently than the factory settings,

you may select any of the three inputs for any

source except the HDMI inputs or the Tuner. If

your system does not include component video

at this time, or if you do not need to change

these defaults, press the

Navigation Button

F to go to the next setting.
