Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment

The menu system is used to
FULL OSD
simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR
using a series of on-screen menus. The factory
default setting for these menus leaves them on
the screen for 20 seconds after a period of inac-
tivity before they disappear from the screen or
Time Out. This Time Out is a safety measure to
prevent the menu text from burning into the
CRTs in your monitor or projector, which might
happen if they were left on indefinitely. However,
some viewers may prefer a slightly longer or
shorter period before the Time Out display.
To change the Full-OSD Time Out, you will need
to make an adjustment in the
ADVANCED
menu (Figure 13). To start the adjust-
SELECT
ment, press the OSD button L to bring the

Default Surround Mode

In normal operation, when the AVR senses a
Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it
will automatically switch the appropriate default
surround mode, with the AVR responding to the
data flags that are encoded on the DVD disc or
in the digital video broadcast. In most cases, this
is the correct mode, but you may have a particu-
lar preference for the mode you wish to hear
when Dolby Digital or DTS is present. The AVR
allows you to set the unit so that it will either
respond to the default or switch to your desired
mode.
If you wish to leave the default so that the mode
choice encoded in the disc is always used, no
further action is needed. Simply leave the setting
line and
at the factory default of ON.
To set the unit so that it responds to the last sur-
round mode used when a Dolby Digital or DTS
source is playing, press the
so that the © cursor is pointing to the
DEFAULT SURR MODE
Buttons Ea so that
setting will change. The unit will now use the last
mode, not the disc's default for the two digitally
encoded data streams.
This setting does not apply to standard PCM dig-
ital inputs or to analog sources. In those cases,
the unit will always apply the surround or pro-
cessing mode that was last used for that input.
If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

Multiroom Operation
The AVR is fully equipped to operate as the con-
trol center for a complete multiroom system that
is capable of sending one source to a second
zone in the house while separate source is lis-
tened to in the main room. In addition to provid-
ing for control over the selection of the remote
source and its volume, the AVR offers a compre-
hensive range of options for powering the
speakers in the second zone.
• Using the line-level Multiroom Audio
Outputs 7, the selected source may be fed to
optional, external power amplifiers that may be
matched to the specifics of the installation.
• When the main room system is configured for
5.1 operation, the Surround Back Left/Right
amplifier channels may be used to power the
remote zone so that no additional amplifiers are
required.
In addition, the AVR includes a remote IR sensor
input so that remote control commands from the
Zone II remote included with the unit may be
transmitted to the unit, while standard IR
input/output jacks allow the remote zone's com-
mands to be sent to compatible IR-controlled
source devices.
Installation
Although simple remote room systems may be
installed by the average do-it-yourself hobbyist,
the complexity of your multizone/multiroom sys-
tem involves running wires inside of walls where
the services of a specially trained installer may
be required. Regardless of who does the work,
please remember that local building codes may
govern in-wall electrical work, including proper
specification of any wiring used and the way in
which it is connected. You are responsible for
making certain that all Multiroom installation
work is done properly and in compliance with all
applicable codes and regulations.
For standard installations, follow the instructions
shown on page 16 for the connection of speaker
wire and IR remote wiring to the AVR.
For installations where the Surround Back
Left/Right amplifier channels are used to power
the remote zone, make certain that the system is
configured for that type of operation, as shown
on page 39.
Multiroom Setup
Once the audio and IR link connections have
been made, the AVR needs to be configured for
multiroom operation using the steps below. Press
the OSD button L to bring the
MASTER
(Figure 1) to the screen. Press the
M E N U
button D twice, until the on-screen
next to the line. Press the Set
MULTI-ROOM
button F to enter the
MULTI-ROOM
menu (Figure 14).
