The lighting around the Standby/On Button 1

will turn blue to confirm that the unit is on.

Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you may find

it easier to use the AVR 7300’s on-screen display sys-

tem. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear pic-

ture of the current status of the unit and make it easy

to see which speaker, delay, input or digital selection

you are making.

To use the on-screen menus, make certain that

you have made a connection between either the

Component Video Outputs E or the Video Monitor

Outputs J and the matching inputs on your TV, dis-

play or projector. In order to view the menus, make cer-

tain that the proper video input type has been selected

on the display, and that any configuration required for

the display, such as selection of interlace or progres-

sive scan has been made. To take advantage of the

AVR 7300’s advanced video circuitry, when a compo-

nent video connection is in use, make certain that the

display is configured for “480P” or progressive scan

inputs, if available.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen

menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or

direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important

that they not be left on for an extended period of time.

The constant display of a static image such as these

menus may cause the image to be permanently

“burned into” the projection tubes, plasma screen or

CRT. This type of damage is not covered by the

AVR 7300 warranty and may not be covered by the

projector/TV set’s warranty.

The AVR 7300 has two on-screen display modes,

“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making configura-

tion adjustments, it is recommended that the full-OSD

mode be used. This will place an easily viewed list of

the available options on the screen.

Making Configuration Adjustments

The full-OSD system is available by pressing the

OSD Button U. When this button is pressed, the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1) will appear, and

adjustments are made from the individual menus.

Figure 1

The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you

to make adjustments directly, by pressing the appro-

priate buttons on the front panel or remote control for

the specific parameter to be adjusted. For example,

to change the digital input for any of the sources,

press the Digital Select Button p and then

press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons o or

‹

›

Buttons to scroll through the list of options as

they appear in the on-screen display or in the Lower

Display Line $.

To use the full-OSD menu system, press the OSD

Button U. When the menu is on the screen, press

the

⁄

Navigation Button o until the on-screen

➔ cursor is next to the item you wish to adjust, and

then press the Set Button q to adjust that item.

The menus will remain on the screen for 20 seconds,

and then they will “time-out” and disappear from

the

screen. The time-out may be increased to as much

as 50 seconds by going to the

ADVANCED

SELECT menu, and changing the item titled

FULL OSD TIME OUT.

When the full-OSD system is in use, the menu selec-

tions are not shown in the Upper or Lower Display

Lines #$. When the full-OSD menu system is

used, OSD ON will appear in the Upper Display

Line # to remind you that a video display must be

used. When the semi-OSD system is used in conjunc-

tion with the discrete configuration buttons, the on-

screen display will show a single line of text with the

current menu selection. That selection will also be

shown in the Upper or Lower Display Lines #$,

depending on which parameter is being adjusted.

Setting the System Configuration Memory

The AVR 7300 features an advanced memory system

that enables you to establish audio and video parameters

for each input source. This flexibility enables you to

customize the way in which you listen to each source

and have the AVR 7300 memorize those settings. This

means, for example, that you may set different speaker

configurations with the resultant changes to the bass

management system. Thanks to the use of exclusive

Harman Kardon circuitry and software along with DCDi

by Faroudja technology, you may also customize the

video settings for each input source to display consis-

tent, high-quality video images when the AVR 7300 is

used in conjunction with a digital or high-definition dis-

play. Once these settings are made, they will automati-

cally be recalled whenever you select that input.

The factory default settings for audio have all inputs

except for DVD and Video 3 configured for their ana-

log inputs. The default for DVD is Coaxial Digital

Audio Input 1 † and the default for Video 3 is

Optical Digital Input 1 ®. Additionally, the default

for all speaker settings is “Small” with the Subwoofer

on. Logic 7 Music is the default surround mode for all

sources, with Dolby Digital or DTS being selected

automatically when an appropriate digital source is in

use and a digital bitstream is detected.

The factory defaults for the video settings are listed in

the Appendix to this manual on page 57. Note, how-

ever, that most of the video default settings are only

applicable when a component connection to a digital-

ready or HDTV monitor is in use. Both the video and

audio settings for all inputs may be changed as shown

in the following pages.

Before using the unit, you may want to change the

settings for some inputs so that they are properly

configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs,

the type of speakers installed and the surround mode

specifics of your home theater system. Remember

that since the AVR 7300 memorizes the settings for

each input individually, you will need to make these

adjustments 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 possi-

ble, we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with

the on-screen menus, and step through each input.

Once you have completed the settings for the first

input, many settings may be duplicated for the remain-

ing inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configura-

tion data in the order these items are listed in the

MASTER MENU, as some settings require a

specific entry in a prior menu item.
