System Configuration
Once the speakers have been placed in the
room and connected, the remaining steps are to
program the system configuration memories.
With the AVR two kind of memories are used,
those associated individually with the input
selected, e.g. surround modes, and others work-
ing independently from any input selected like
speaker output levels, or delay times used by
the surround sound processor.
First Turn On
You are now ready to power up the AVR to
begin these final adjustments.
1. Plug the Power Cable
into an un-
switched AC outlet.
2. Press the Main Power Switch
latches and the word "OFF" on the top of the
switch disappears inside the front panel. Note
that the Power Indicator
will turn orange,
indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.
3. Remove the protective plastic film from the
front-panel lens. If left in place, the film may
affect the performance of your remote control.
4. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the
remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+)
and (–) polarity indicators that are on the bot-
tom of the battery compartment.
5. Turn the AVR on either by pressing the
System Power Control
or the Input
Source Selector
on the front panel, or via
the remote by pressing the AVR Selector
or any of the Input Selectors
remote. The Power Indicator
to confirm that the unit is on, and the Main
Information Display
will also light up.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector
buttons
to turn the unit on, press the AVR
Selector
to have the remote control the AVR
functions.
16 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Settings to be Made With Each
Input Used
The AVR features an advanced memory system
that enables you to establish different settings
for the speaker configuration, digital input, sur-
round mode, delay times and output levels for
each input source. This flexibility enables you to
custom tailor the way in which you listen to each
source and have the AVR memorize them. This
means, for example, that you may associate dif-
ferent surround modes and analog or digital
inputs with different sources, or set different
speaker configurations with the resultant
changes to the bass management system or the
use of the Center speaker. Once these settings
are made, they will automatically be recalled
in until it
whenever you select an input.
The default settings for the AVR, as it is shipped
from the factory, have all inputs set for an ana-
log source (except for the DVD input, which has
the Coaxial Digital Input 1
default), with Logic 7 Music as the surround
mode, all speaker positions set to "small", and a
subwoofer connected. Before using the unit, you
will probably want to change these settings for
most inputs so that they are properly configured
to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs, the
type of speakers installed and the surround
mode associated with the input.
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR is to select
an input. This may be done by pressing the front
panel Input Source Selector
desired input's name appears in the Main
Information Display

panel Input Indicators
be selected by pressing the appropriate Input
Selector on the remote control
The second step is to associate one of the digital
on the
inputs with the selected input source (if this is
will turn blue
needed, otherwise the selected analog input will
remain). Press the Digital Input Select button
on the remote. Within five seconds, make
your input selection using the
on the remote until the desired digital or
analog input is shown in the Main Infor-
mation Display
to enter the new digital input assignment.
After the setting has been made with one input,
repeat as described above with all inputs in use.
The digital input associated with the input
selected can also be changed at any time later
and the AVR's memory system will keep the set-
tings until they are changed again.
Speaker Setup
This setup tells the AVR which type of speakers
are in use. This is important as it adjusts the set-
tings that determine which speakers receive low
frequency (bass) information and whether a
Center speaker should be used or not, separately
for each input used. For each of these settings
use the L A R G E setting if the speakers for a
particular position are traditional full-range
loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing
sounds below 100Hz. Use the S M A L L set-
ting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite
speakers that do not reproduce sounds below
100Hz. Note that when "small" front (left and
right) speakers are used, a subwoofer is
required to reproduce low frequency sounds. If
you are in doubt as to which category describes
your speakers, consult the specifications in the
speakers' owner's manual, or ask your dealer.
With the AVR turned on, follow these steps to
configure the speakers:
