Setting Up The System - Denon AVR-3801 Operating Instructions Manual

7 SETTING UP THE SYSTEM

• Once all connections with other AV components have been completed as described in "CONNECTIONS" (see pages 6 to 13), make the various
settings described below on the monitor screen using the AVR-3801's on-screen display function.
These settings are required to set up the listening room's AV system centered around the AVR-3801.
• Use the following buttons to set up the system:
• System setup items and default values (set upon shipment from the factory)

NOTES:
• The on-screen display signals are not output from the color difference (component) video signal (MONITOR OUT) jacks.
• The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor
is connected to both the AVR-3801's S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-3801 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected to
both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to
the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 28.)
• The AVR-3801's on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small
screens or low resolutions.
• The setup menu is not displayed when "HEADPHONE ONLY" is selected.
