ADVANCED FEATURES

The AVR 430 is equipped with a number of advanced

features that add extra flexibility to the unit’s operation.

While it is not necessary to use these features to

operate the unit, they provide additional options that

you may wish to use.

Surround Amplifier Channel Assignment

The AVR 430 is equipped with seven full-power

amplifier channels to allow for complete 7.1-channel

operation without the need for additional external

amplifiers. However, in some installations you may wish

to use the traditional 5.1-channel configuration for the

main listening room, which allows the surround back

left/right amplifier channels to be used to power

speakers placed in a remote zone location.

If you wish to use the Surround Back channel ampli-

fiers to power the remote zone, you must change a

setting in the

ADVANCED SELECT menu.

To make that change, first call up the menu system

by pressing the

OSD Button U to bring the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen. Next,

press the

Navigation Button o until the ➔

cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the

Set Button q to enter the ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 15).

Figure 15

To change the setting so that the Surround Back

amplifiers are fed by the source selected through the

Multiroom system, press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

o so that MR SP is highlighted in reverse video

and press the

Set Button q.

Remember that once this setting is made, you will

not be able to take advantage of any of the 6.1/7.1-

channel decoding or processing modes, and that the

speakers used for the remote zone must be connected

to the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs

‚. The volume for these speakers is set by the

multiroom system, as explained on page 38 of this

manual.

Once this setting is made, you may press the

Navigation Button o to make any of the other

adjustments available on this menu. If no other adjust-

ments are needed, press the

OSD Button U to exit

the menu system.

Front-Panel-Display Fade

In normal operation, the front-panel displays and indi-

cators remain on at full brightness, although you may

also dim them or turn them off as shown on page 35.

As an additional option, you may also set the AVR so

that the displays are on whenever a button is pressed

on the front panel or remote, but then fade out after a

set period of time.

To set the front-panel displays to the Fade mode,

press the

OSD Button U to bring the Master

Menu to the screen. Press the

⁄

Navigation

Button

o so that the ➔ cursor is pointed to the

ADVANCED line, and press the Set Button q

to enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu

(Figure 15).

With the

ADVANCED SELECT menu on

your video display, press the

⁄

Navigation

Button

o so that the ➔ cursor is pointed to the

VFD FADE TIME OUT line. Next, press the

‹

›

Navigation Button o so that the amount

of time that you wish the displays to fade out after

a button is pressed is shown.

Once this time is set and the unit returned to normal

operation, the displays will remain on for the time peri-

od selected whenever a button is pressed on the front

panel or remote. After that time they will gradually fade

out, with the exception of the lighting surrounding the

Standby/On Switch 1, which remains on to remind

you that the AVR is turned on. Note that if the displays

have been turned completely off using the Dim

Button, as shown on page 35, the Fade function will

not operate.

If you wish to make adjustments to other items on

the

ADVANCED SELECT menu, press the

⁄

Navigation Button o to place the ➔ cur-

sor next to the desired item, or place the

➔ cursor

next to the

BACK TO MASTER MENU line

and press the

Set Button q to make an adjust-

ment to another menu. If you have completed all

adjustments, press the

OSD Button U to exit the

menu system.

Display Brightness

The AVR 430’s front-panel displays and indicators are

set at a default brightness level that is sufficient for

viewing in a normally lit room. However, you may wish

to occasionally lower the brightness of the display, or

turn it off completely.

To change the display brightness setting for a specific

listening session, you will need to make an adjustment

in the

ADVANCED SELECT menu. To start

the adjustment, press the

OSD Button U to bring

the

MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the

Navigation Button o, until the on-screen ➔ cur-

sor is next to the

ADVANCED line. Press the Set

Button

q to enter the

ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 15).

To change the brightness setting, at the

ADVANCED SELECT menu, make certain

that the on-screen

➔ cursor is next to the VFD line,

and press the

›

Navigation Button o until the

desired brightness level is highlighted in the video dis-

play. When

FULL is highlighted, the display is at its

normal brightness. When

HALF is highlighted, the

display is at half the normal brightness level. When

OFF is highlighted, all of the front-panel indicators

will go dark. However, the blue lighting surrounding the

Standby/On Switch 1 will remain lit to remind you

that the AVR is still turned on.

Once the desired brightness level is selected, it will

remain in effect until it is changed again or until the

unit is turned off.

If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

⁄

Navigation Button o until the on-screen

➔ cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK

TO MASTER MENU

line and press the Set

Button

q. If you have no other adjustments to

make, press the

OSD Button U to exit the

menu system.

Turn-On Volume Level

As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when

the AVR 430 is turned on, it will always return to the

volume setting in effect when the unit was turned off.

However, you may prefer to always have the AVR 430

turn on at a specific setting, regardless of what was

last in use when the unit was turned off. To change the

default condition so that the same volume level is

always used at turn-on, you will need to make an

adjustment in the

ADVANCED SELECT

menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD Button

to bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1)

to the screen. Press the

Navigation Button

until the on-screen

➔

cursor is next to the

ADVANCED line.

Press the Set Button q to

enter the

ADVANCED SELECT menu (Fig. 15).

At the ADVANCED SELECT menu, make

certain that the on-screen

➔ cursor is next to the

VOLUME DEFAULT line by pressing the

⁄

Navigation Button o as needed. Next,

press the

›

Navigation Button o so that the word

ON is highlighted in the video display. Next, press the

Navigation Button o once so that the on-

screen

➔ cursor is next to the DEFAULT VOL

SET

line. To set the desired turn-on volume, press

the

‹

›

Navigation Button o until the desired

volume level is shown on the

DEFAULT VOL

SET

line. This setting may NOT be made with the

regular volume controls.
