irregular sync timing signals that are common
when a VCR is in use. The enhancement pro-

the tracking control on a VCR.

called up on this line are designed for use in
factory setup of the AVR 7300's video process-

adjustment of any controls on your video
sources, on your video display or on the
AVR 7300 itself. You may bypass this setting line
unless you wish to view the signals, but remem-
ber that they are not designed for any consumer
use.

are such that a source has a low signal and

point where the video display is over-driven into
clipping or blooming.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages
have been made, the AVR is ready for operation.
While there are some additional settings to be
made, these are best done after you have had an
opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and
different kinds of program material. These
advanced settings are described on pages 42 to
43 of this manual. In addition, any of the settings
made in the initial configuration of the unit may
be changed at any time. As you add new or dif-
ferent sources or speakers, or if you wish to
change a setting to better reflect your listening
taste, simply follow the instructions for changing
the settings for that parameter as shown in this
section.
Note that any settings changed at any time, also
when the discrete buttons are used only, will be
stored in memory in the AVR, also if it´s turned off
completely, unless it will be reset (see page 56).
Having completed the setup and configuration
process for your AVR, you are about to experience
the finest in music and home-theater listening.
Enjoy!
