Input Setup; Surround Setup - JBL AVR580 Owner's Manual

Music for two-channel signals and Dolby
Pro Logic II-Movie for Dolby Digital 2.0
signals, although Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS
will automatically be selected as appro-
priate when a source with digital encod-
ing is in use.
Before using the unit, you will probably
want to change the settings for most
inputs so that they are properly config-
ured to reflect the use of digital or analog
inputs, the type of speakers installed and
the surround mode specifics of your home
theater system. Remember that since the
AVR580 memorizes the settings for each
input individually, you will need to make
these adjustments for each input used.
However, once they are made, further
adjustment is only required when system
components are changed.
To make this process as quick and easy
as possible, we suggest that you use the
full-OSD system with the on-screen
menus, and step through each input.
Once you have completed 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 MASTER MENU, as some set-
tings require a specific entry in a prior
menu item. Remember that once the set-
tings 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 AVR580 is
to configure each input. Once an input is
selected, all settings for the Digital Input,
Speaker Configuration, Surround Mode
and Delay Timing will "attach" them-
selves to that input and be stored in a
nonvolatile memory. This means that
once made, the selection of an input will
automatically recall those settings. 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 requirements. However, once
made, they need not be changed again
unless you need to alter a setting.
When using the full-OSD system to make
the setup adjustments, press the OSD
Button v once so that the MASTER
MENU (Figure 1) appears. The
will be next to the INPUT SETUP
line. Press the Set Button p 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 ˆ by the desired input
name lighting in orange. If the input will
use the standard left/right analog inputs,
no further adjustment is needed.

the analog input, press the buttons until
the word ANALOG appears. When the
correct input source appears, press the
Button n once so that the

appears next to BACK TO MASTER
MENU, and press the Set Button p.
To change the digital input at any time
using the discrete function buttons and
the semi-OSD system, press the Digital
Select Button q on the remote.
Within five seconds, make your input
selection using the
until the desired digital or analog input is
shown in the Upper Display Line A
and in the on-screen display. Press the

input assignment.
When all needed adjustments have been
made, press the

Surround Setup

The next step is to set the surround mode
you wish to use with the input that was

SETUP menu. 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

for the AVR580, it is best to select Dolby
Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most analog
inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs con-
nected 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") as they are not
typically used with multichannel program
material, and it is unlikely that surround-

rial. See page 34 for more information on
available surround modes. During normal
use, when a two-channel signal is detected,
the AVR580 will by default select the
Logic 7 Music mode. When a Dolby
Digital 2.0 signal is detected, the AVR580
will default to the Dolby Pro Logic II-
Movie mode.
When selecting surround modes for digi-

always examine the data stream and
