Scaler Input (applies to MAIN only):
Assign which input is used by the video processor when the Source is selected – any HDMI, Component
video, S-Video input, or ‘None’. Before setting this, be sure that you have read section 2.1. Note that if
S-Video is selected, the input connection is the one specified in e. S-VIDEO IN. To increase seeking speed
for the seek function in section 4.4, set this to ‘None’ if the Source does not use video processing.
Component, S-Video, Composite Video Inputs:
Assign which video input (or ‘None’) is used for unprocessed video switching when the Source is selected,
including in ZONE2, ZONE3, and REC.
Audio In (applies to MAIN only):
There are three input types to choose from – Digital, Analog-DSP, and Analog-Direct. After highlighting
‘AUDIO IN’ use the buttons to select an input format.
• Dig (Digital): Choose any HDMI, coaxial, optical, or the AES/EBU connection. Any digital input can
be assigned to multiple Sources. This allows, for example, two setups for the same DVD player –
one for DVDs using the DVD1 Source, and the other for CD music using the CD Source. Note that
Dolby Digital and DTS are transmitted only
through a digital connection.
• Anlg-DSP (Analog with Digital Signal Processing): If you want your subwoofer to play from an
analog L/R input, use this setting. Analog input is converted to digital through the AVM 50’s high-end
A/D converters to enable bass management, time alignment, Mode, Bass/Treble, Lip-Sync Delay,
and THX. These are also available for the 6-Ch input, since it can also be set to Anlg-DSP. With the
bass management and time alignment that this provides, the resulting sound quality from
DVD-Audio or multichannel SACD is far better than setting the 6-Ch input to Anlg-Dir. If your player
has bass management and time alignment, defeat it by setting all channels ‘large’ and to the same
distance. This is necessary when using Anlg-DSP, otherwise the processing occurs twice.
• Anlg-Dir (Analog-Direct): A/D conversion and Digital Signal Processing are bypassed, and the
preamp plays the traditional role of switching inputs and adjusting levels. There is no subwoofer
output in Analog-Direct, except with 6-Ch input and only
if the source material has a subwoofer
channel recorded in it.
Auto Digital (applies to MAIN only):
When set to ‘Yes’, the input type switches to Digital when it senses a digital bitstream and to Analog-DSP
when it doesn’t. This feature is useful with older digital cable boxes that use the digital output for digital
channels and analog output for analog channels.
Example: Change SAT1 Digital Input to optical.
• Make sure satellite receiver is connected to OPT1 and playing.
• Enter the Setup Menu. Go to ‘6. SOURCE SETUP’ and press SELECT.
• Press the button until you reach ‘n. SAT1’ and press SELECT.
• Press the button until you reach ‘g. AUDIO IN’.
• Use the buttons to change to ‘OPT1’ (sound will now be heard).
• Press BACK to leave the submenu and return to the main menu.
HDMI 6-Channel Map: (applies to MAIN only, for DVD-A format only):
If you hear channels coming out of the wrong speakers, for example the dialog coming out of the right
surround, change HDMI 6CH MAP to the setting that makes each channel come from the correct speaker.
