Input Name
Each input can be renamed using the navigation keys and volume knob. Up to sixteen (16) characters are allowed for
each name. When finished, press Select.
Example – Rename "HDMI 1" to "Blu-ray":
• Highlight "Input Name" and press SELECT. The first character is highlighted by a white box.
• Use the UP/DOWN remote buttons or volume knob to change "H" to "B."
• Use the PREV/NEXT buttons or LEFT/RIGHT on remote to move to each remaining character and complete the
renaming.
• Press SELECT to return to the menu.
Video Input
Select the connection to use: HDMI 1–7 or None. Use "None" if you are generating video directly on the TV. Ex. When
using a streaming service through an app on your TV and using optical/eARC for audio back to the MRX, use "None"
for video.
Audio Input
Select the connection to use: HDMI, HDMI eARC, Coaxial 1–2, Optical 1–3, Analog 1–5, Streaming, Bluetooth, or MM
(MM or "Moving Magnet" is only available on the AVM 90).
Zone 2 Input
Select the connection to be used – Coaxial 1-2, Optical 1-3, Analog 1-5, FM Radio, Play-Fi, or None. Note that with
coaxial and optical input, the source must be 2-channel PCM.
Convert Analog (AVM Only)
Setting this to "No" bypasses digital conversion and signal processing, and only level adjustments are available. No
digital processing whatsoever will be used, including Anthem Room Correction. This option may be desirable for
listeners using sources such as turntables.
Speaker Profile
Select the profile to use with this input. This is where you can select previously made speaker profiles for different
situations such as 7.1.4 vs. 2 channel.
Anthem Room Correction
The ARC measurement process, described later, automatically turns this On. To disable room equalization afterward,
change this to "Off." If room correction isn't loaded, "N/A" is displayed.
Dolby Volume (Main Zone Only)
Select "Music", "Movie", "Night" or "Off." Dolby Volume makes content with significant differences in volume easy to
listen to by analyzing it and intelligently adjusting two things—level and frequency response. It does this continually
without causing pumping and breathing artifacts that are common with traditional dynamic range compressors. In
doing so, the volume setting is taken into account, as is our hearing's declining sensitivity to the lowest and highest
frequencies relative to the midrange as their levels drop. The result is that the perceived frequency response remains
constant while making quieter parts of the content more listenable.
Mode Presets (All Models)
A listening mode is processing that enhances source material by increasing the number of output channels. Each
available mode performs this differently, providing a unique type of sound.
To find your preference, spend some time listening to various modes using various sources. To disable presets and
make selections entirely on the fly, select "Last Used." To disable listening modes altogether, select "None."
AnthemLogic-Cinema lets you experience full impact home theater sound from any 2-channel source. This mode
creates an extensive, enveloping, and dynamic listening experience, making 2-channel movies sound more like what a
state-of-the-art movie theater. Through extensive listening tests, Anthem engineers developed this proprietary mode
avoiding the use of echo effects, which could negatively affect the purity of the sound.
AnthemLogic-Music enhances the stereo listening experience without detracting from the stereo soundstage. This
mode is also a minimalist design that uses no echo or reverberation effects. To ensure that the purity of the stereo
music soundstage is not compromised when you're sitting in the "sweet spot" listening to your favorite stereo
recordings, this mode uses no center channel.
