the settings for the first input, many settings
may be duplicated for the remaining inputs. It is
also a good idea to set the configuration data
in the order these items are listed in the Main
Audio Setup Menu, as some settings require a
specific entry in a prior menu item.
The items that follow will describe the individ-
ual settings required for each input. Remember
that once the settings are made for one input,
they must be made for all other input sources
in your system.
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR 7000 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 W,
and the green LED lights next to the input's
name in the front panel Input Indicators Ó.
The input may also be selected by pressing the
appropriate Input Selector on the remote con-
trol bclmn.
When using the full-OSD system to make the
setup adjustments, press the OSD button s
once so that the main AUDIO SETUP
menu (Figure 1) appears. Note that the
sor will be next to the input setup line. Press
the Set button i 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 indi-
cated in the front panel Input Indicators Ó
by the green LED next to the desired input
name. If the input will use the standard
left/right analog inputs, no further adjustment
is needed.

To change the digital input at any time using
the discrete function buttons and the semi-OSD
system, press the Digital Input Select button

Within five seconds, make your input selection
using the Selector buttons on the front panel

until the desired digital or analog input is
shown in the Main Information Display W
and in the lower third of the video display
connected to the AVR 7000.
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
surround modes are a matter of personal taste,
feel free to select any mode you wish – you
may change it later. However, to make it easier
to establish the initial parameters for the
AVR 7000, it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic

cur-
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,
buttons
if that is your preferred listening mode for
standard stereo sources, where it is unlikely
that surround encoded material will be used.
Alternatively, the Logic 7 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 AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 1),
button g5 until the

Press the Set button i( so that the
SURROUND SETUP menu (Figure 3 or 4)

Since the factory default for all inputs is Stereo,
the words SURR OFF will initially appear in

appears in the highlighted video. As the modes
are changed, a green LED will also light next to
the mode names in the Surround Mode
Indicators ı on the front panel.
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. The Crossover Frequency is
adjustable in all modes. Note, also, that Dolby
Digital and DTS will only appear as choices
(Figure 4) when a digital input was previously
selected.
Depending on the surround mode selected, you
will now proceed to change either the delay
time or the crossover frequency. For Dolby
Digital and Dolby Pro Logic, pressing the
buttons g5 will take you to the delay set-
tings, for all other modes, it will take you to the
Crossover Frequency adjustment.
