1. Attach an IR emitter (Audioaccess IREMIT1) to the faceplate of the device to be controlled. 2. Carefully run the emitter wire back to the AVR21EN Rear Panel and connect it to the appropriate Control Out [circle 36] device jack.
Page 53: Multiroom Link
Multiroom Link The Multiroom Link connects the AVR21EN to the AVH21 A/V Hubs in multiroom applications. Connect a CAT5e cable terminated with RJ45 connectors from the Uplink Terminal [pentagon 16] on an AVH21 to the Multiroom Link Terminal [circle 30] on the AVR. These ports can also be used in smaller systems to add two additional audio zones to the AVR, by connecting one KP21 Keypad directly to each of these ports.
Page 54 Figure 13 Front-channel Speaker Positioning Figure 14 Surround & Rear Speaker Positioning When the AVR21EN is used in 5.1-channel operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, no more than 10 degrees off axis from the listening position.
Page 55: System Setup
Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps in the setup process are to configure system and source settings, program the AVR21EN for the type of speakers used in your system, set the delay times used by the surround sound processor and configure the output settings.
Page 56: Using The On-Screen Display
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 AVR21EN Warranty and may not be covered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.
Page 57: Setting The System Configuration Memory
This flexibility enables you to customize the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR21EN memorize those settings. This means, for example, that you may set different speaker configurations with the resultant changes to the bass management system.
Page 58: Input Setup
Input Setup The first step is to configure each input. Once an input is configured, the selection of an input will automatically recall those settings from a nonvolatile memory. For that reason, the procedures described below must be repeated for each input source so that you have the opportunity to customize each source to your specific listening and viewing requirements.
Page 59: Sources
This is normal and does not indicate any problem with the AVR21EN. When the video turns to black, that is your indication that the processor has momentarily muted the signal while the proper video settings for each input are reestablished by the Faroudja processor.
Page 60: Source Audio Input
However, to make it easier to establish the initial parameters for the AVR21EN, it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic II (Movie or Music) or Logic 7 (Cinema or Music) for most analog inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD player, tape deck or tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo (“Surround Off”)
Page 61: Dolby
Dolby Pro Logic IIx and DTS-ES will appear, as they are only available when seven main speakers are present. In addition, some of the modes available in the AVR21EN will not appear unless a digital source is selected and is playing the correct bitstream.
Page 62: Dts
The exact modes available will depend on the number of speaker positions established in the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION menu. (See section: AVR21EN Configuration/Speaker Setup to configure the system for the number and type of speakers in your system.)
Page 63: Audio Upsampling
Press the Set Button [oval 18]. Source Video The AVR21EN is unique among audio/video receivers in that it not only includes an onboard video processing system using DCDi by Faroudja technology, but that it also allows the video controls to be individually set for each video input source.

Page 66: Ezset/Eq
EzSet/EQ The AVR21EN is one of the first receivers in its class to offer automated speaker setup and system calibration. This process greatly simplifies the installation of your new receiver by using a series of test signals and the power of an advanced digital signal processing system to eliminate the need for manual adjustment of speaker “size”, crossover, delay and output level settings,...
Page 67 The microphone includes a threaded insert on the bottom for tripod mounting. Step 3: Plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the AVR21EN’s Optimizer MIC Jack [square 12], making certain that the microphone is firmly connected. The microphone cable is approximately 20 feet long, which should accommodate most listening room situations.
Page 68 Figure 24 EzSet/EQ Warning IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone with hearing that is sensitive to loud noises should leave the room at this point, or use ear protection sufficient to reduce the noise level. Inexpensive foam-style ear plugs, available at most drug stores, may be used to reduce the sound level to a tolerable level. If you are uncomfortable with, or cannot tolerate, loud sounds and do not use some sort of ear protection, we strongly recommend that you leave the room and ask someone else to run the EzSet/EQ process, or that you do not use EzSet/EQ and enter the configuration settings...
Page 69 (listening position) distance will be shown to the right of the SPEAKER DELAY line on the menu screen. NOTE: A/V Sync Delay may only be set manually (See section: AVR21EN Configuration/Lip Sync). • Speaker Level: This test circulates a test signal and measures the output from each active speaker position.
Page 70: Output Level Adjustment
Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration of any surround sound product. It is particularly important for a digital receiver such as the AVR21EN, as correct outputs ensure that you hear soundtracks with the proper directionality and intensity.
Page 71: Speaker Setup
SPEAKER SETUP This menu tells the AVR21EN which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that decide whether your system will use the “5-channel” or “6-channel/7-channel” modes, as well as determining which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information.
Page 72: Speaker Configuration And Bass Management
NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround mode for the particular input source for which you are configuring your speakers, the AVR21EN will not make the LARGE option available for the center speaker. This is due to the requirements of Logic 7 processing, and does not indicate a problem with your receiver.
Page 73 If the front left/right speakers are set to LARGE, three options are available: • If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR21EN, press the ◄/►Navigation Button [oval 16] until NONE appears. With this option, all bass information will be routed to the front left/right...
Page 74 • If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR21EN, you have the option to have the front left/right main speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the subwoofer operate only when the AVR21EN is being used with a digital source that contains a dedicated low-frequency effects, or LFE, soundtrack.
Page 75: Speaker Crossovers
Speaker Crossovers To change the setting for any of the four speaker groups, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] until the cursor is next to the speaker group where you wish to make a change and then press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] until the desired setting appears. The available choices for low-frequency information to be sent to the subwoofer, rather than to the main speaker channel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz and 200Hz.
Page 76: Speaker Distances (Delay)
The AVR21EN’s advanced software enables you to quickly and easily set delay times without the need to calculate them using a complex formula. Instead, all you need to do is measure the approximate distance between your listening position and each of the speakers in your system.
Page 77: Lip Sync
With the on-screen cursor pointing to FRONT, press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] until the distance from the front speakers to the preferred listening position is entered.

FAROUDJA: OFF message. Surround Mode Selection One of the most important features of the AVR21EN is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround-encoded programs and standard stereo programs. Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source material being used.
Page 118: Digital Audio Playback
In addition, when a digital source is present, the AVR21EN will automatically select and switch to the correct mode, regardless of the mode that has been previously selected. For more information on selecting digital sources, see the Digital Audio Playback section below.
Page 119: Dolby Digital
LD discs and satellite broadcasts. An optional, external RF demodulator is required to use the AVR21EN to listen to the Dolby Digital soundtracks available on laser discs. Connect the RF output of the LD player to the demodulator and then connect the digital output of the demodulator to the Optical [circle 24, square 13] or Coaxial Inputs [circle 19, square 16] of the AVR21EN.
Page 120: Dts
DTS discs. You may use any LD or CD player equipped with a digital output to play DTS-encoded discs with the AVR21EN. All that is required is to connect the player’s output to either an Optical [circle 24, square 13] or Coaxial Inputs [circle 19, square 16] on the AVR rear panel or front panel.
Page 121 Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7. Since the range of available surround modes is dependent on the type of digital data that is present, the AVR21EN shows you what type of signal is present. This will help you to understand the choice of modes.
Page 122: Pcm Playback
CD listening. When an HDCD-encoded disc is playing and the CD player is connected using a digital connection, the AVR21EN will automatically recognize the HDCD encoding and activate the circuits required for proper playback, provided that the Surround Off mode is selected.
