System Configuration
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR 3000 is to
select an input. This may be done by pressing
the front panel Input Source Selector
until the desired input's name appears momen-
tarily in the Main Information Display
and the green LED lights next to the input's
name in the front panel Input Indicators
The input may also be selected by pressing the
appropriate Input Selector on the remote control
.
When using the full-OSD system to make the
setup adjustments, press the OSD button
once so that the MASTER MENU (Figure
1) appears. Note that the
cursor will be next
to the INPUT SETUP line. Press the Set
button
to enter the menu and the
INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will
appear on the screen. Press the
/
until the desired input name appears in
the highlighted video, as well as being indicated
in the front panel Input Indicators
green LED next to the desired input name. If the
input will use the standard left/right analog
inputs, no further adjustment is needed.

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs
with the selected input source, press the
ton
on the remote while the INPUT
SETUP menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and
note that the on-screen cursor will drop down to
the DIGITAL I N line. Press the
tons
until the name of the desired digi-
tal input name appears. To return to the
ANALOG input, press the buttons until the
word analog appears. When the correct input
appears, press the
button
until the
cursor appears next to RETURN T O
M E N U, and press the Set button
To change the digital input associated with the
input selected at any time using the discrete
function buttons and the semi-OSD system,
press the Digital Input Select button
on the front panel or the remote. Within five sec-
onds, make your input selection using the
Selector buttons on the front panel
buttons
on the remote until the
/
desired digital or analog input is shown in the
Main Information Display
and in the
lower third of the video display connected to the
AVR 3000. Then press the Set button
enter the new digital input assignment.
Surround Setup
Once the input setup has been completed, the
next step for that input is to set the surround
mode you wish to use with that input. Since sur-
round modes are a matter of personal taste, feel
,
free to select any mode you wish – you may
change it later. The Surround Mode chart on
.
page 26 may help you select the mode best suit-
ed to the input source selected. However, to
make it easier to establish the initial parameters
for the AVR 3000, it is best to select Dolby Pro
Logic 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, if
that is your preferred listening mode for stan-
dard stereo sources, where it is unlikely that sur-
round encoded material will be used.
Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or Logic 7
buttons
Music mode may also be a good choice for
stereo-only source material.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup
using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the
main MASTER MENU menu (Figure 1),

Note that the data lines next to the items in the
screen display will show either numbers or a
series of dashes, depending on whether or not
the specific parameter is adjustable. For exam-
ple, the Center Delay and Night Mode items are
only adjustable for Dolby Digital, and the Delay
Time is only adjusted for Dolby Digital and Dolby
Pro Logic. Note, also, that Dolby Digital and DTS
will only appear as choices (Figure 4) when a
digital input was previously selected. These set-
tings for Delay, and Night mode, that are inde-
pendent of any input selected, will be described
in the next chapter on page 21.
Speaker Setup
This menu tells the AVR 3000 which type of
speakers are in use. This is important as it
adjusts the settings that determine which
speakers receive low frequency (bass) informa-
tion. 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
