SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 19
To make this process as quick and as easy as pos-
sible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD sys-
tem with the on-screen menus, and step through
each input.
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR is to select
an input, i.e. to associate an analog or digital
input with each input source in use, e.g. CD or
DVD. Note that once an input is selected, all
settings for the Digital Input, Speaker Configura-
tion, Delay and Surround Mode will ”attach”
themselves 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
custom tailor 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
L
once so that the MASTERMENU(Figure 1)
appears. Note that the
› cursor will be next to
the
INPUTSETUPline. Press the Set button
F
to enter the menu and the INPUT
SETUP
menu (Figure 2) will appear on the
screen. Press the
‹/› buttons
Ea
until the
desired input name appears in the highlighted
video, as well as being indicated in the front
panel Input Indicators
ˆ
by the blue LED next
to the desired input name. If the input will use the
standard left/right analog inputs, no further
adjustment is needed (except with DVD).
Figure 2
If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs
with the selected input source, press the
¤
Button
D
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
DIGITALIN line. Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
until the name of the desired digital
input appears.To return to the Analog input,
press the buttons until the word
ANALOG
appears.When the correct input source appears,
press the
¤
button
D
until the
›
cursor
appears next to
BACKTOMASTERMENU,
and press the Set Button
F
.
To associate an analog or digital input with the
input source currently selected at any time using
the discrete function buttons, press the Digital
Input Select Button
Û
G
on the front panel
or the remote while the full-OSD is not in use.
Within five seconds, make your input selection
using the Selector buttons on the front panel
7
or the
⁄
/
¤
D
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 507. Press the Set Button
F
to enter the
new input assignment.
Speaker Setup
This menu 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. For each of these
settings use the
LARGEsetting if the speakers
for a particular position are traditional full-range
loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing
sounds below 100Hz.
Use the SMALLsetting for smaller,frequency-
limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce
sounds below 100Hz. Note that when “small”
speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to
reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that
the “large” and “small” descriptions do not refer
to the actual physical size of the speakers, but to
their ability 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.
This menu screen also allows you to enter the set-
tings for the AVR’s Triple Crossover feature that
allows a different crossover point to be used for
the front left/right, center and surround speakers.
In systems where full-range or tower speakers are
used for the front soundstage or where different
brands or models are in use at the various speak-
er positions, this feature allows you to custom tai-
lor the bass management and redirection circuits
with a precision not previously possible.
At last, this menu also makes you chose if the
speaker setting will be the same for each input
source (
GLOBAL), or will be set differently for
each input (
INDEPENDENT).
Notes:
• When "Independent" is selected for the speak-
er settings (see below), they need to be made
for each input individually and you can deter-
mine which speaker should be used depending
on the input source selected. So it´s possible
e.g. to turn off the Center and/or the Sub with
any music source selected and to use them with
any movie input source.
• With the currently selected input all speaker
settings will be copied to all other surround
modes (as far as speakers are used with them)
and need not be repeated when another sur-
round mode is selected with that input.
It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the
speaker setup through the
SPEAKER
SETUP
menu (Figure 3). So press the OSD
Button
L
to bring up the MASTERMENU
(Figure 1), and then press the
¤
Button
D
twice so that the cursor is on the SPEAKER
SETUP
line.At this point, press the
Set Button
F
to bring
up the
SPEAKER
SETUP
menu (Figure 3).
Figure 3
The first line of the SPEAKERSETUPmenu
(Figure 3) allows you to switch the menu to
change either the underlying speaker size setting
or the exact crossover point used for that speaker
group if set to "Small". For the first pass through
the menu, leave the setting at its default option of
SIZE, and then proceed as outlined below.Once
the speaker choices have been set you may wish to
return to this line to change the option so that the
crossover settings may be adjusted.
1. Before you start the speaker setting, you
should determine if you want all inputs being
configured with the same speaker size setting
(
GLOBAL) or if all inputs should be configured
individually (
INDEPENDENT).
To configure all inputs for "Global" or "Inde-
pendent" press the
⁄
Button
D
twice so that
the cursor is next to the
BASSMGRline.
This setting allows you to use the same speaker
configuration for all inputs, or to have different
settings for each input. In most cases the factory
default setting of
GLOBALwill be appropriate,
as most listeners do not need to have individual-
ized speaker settings. However,some listeners,
particularly those with full-range front speakers
that are used for both movies and music may pre-
fer that different speaker settings be used when
listening to music through a CD player as
opposed to a movie from a DVD player, VCR or
cable/satellite set top.
