System Configuration
To set the delay times, follow these steps:
1. Put the AVR 120 in the Dolby Pro Logic II
mode by pressing the
Surround Mode
Selector

adjustment is needed for the center-channel
delay. In that case, press the
Set Button
o to enter the surround delay set-
tings into the AVR 120s memory. However,
if you will be using digital sources and the
calculations outlined above indicate that
the center-channel delay requires an adjust-

Additional Input Adjustments
In addition to the major adjustments described
in the preceding pages, you may also wish to
set the type of audio source type (analog or
digital) to be used with an input at this time.
Once a specific audio source type is associated
with any of the inputs, it will remain in the
memory until it is changed, even when another
input is selected. To attach one of the digital
inputs to a specific source, follow these steps:
1. Press the
Digital Button p .
2. Immediately press the
/Buttons
mq or Selector Buttons 5 to scroll
through the list of available digital inputs or
the analog input.
3. When the desired input type is shown in
both the
Main Information Display F
and in the Analog S, Coaxial Digital
Input
T or Optical Digital Input U
Indicators, press the Set Button o
to enter the setting into the unit's memory.
You may also memorizea specific surround
mode so that it will always be used when an
input is selected. The AVR 120 always remem-
bers the last surround mode used with any
input, but during the setup process you may
wish to preset the modes for each source. To do
that, follow these steps:
1. Select an input by pressing one of the
Input
Selectors
e! or the AM/FM Tuner
Select
g.
2. Press the
Surround Mode Selector
j7, and immediately press the /
Buttons mq or Surround Mode
Selector
! to scroll through the list of
available surround modes. Note that the
name of each mode will scroll from right to
left across the
Main Information Display
F. To avoid having the system time out
and exit the select process, be sure to press
the
/Buttons mq or Surround
Mode Selector
! to select the next mode
at any time the mode name is displayed.
3. When the desired mode name appears in the
Main Information Display F and in the
Surround Mode Indicators ,
simply pause for a few seconds to allow the
unit to time out.Your selection will be
memorized and will be activated each time
the input is selected until another mode is
selected.
4. Repeat the process for each of the inputs.
5. When the desired Surround mode has been
entered for all inputs, press the
Set Button
o.
Once the settings outlined on the previous
pages have been made, the AVR 120 is ready
for operation.While there are some additional
settings to be made, these are best done after
you have had an opportunity to listen to a vari-
ety of sources and different kinds of program
material. These settings are described on pages
21 through 26 of this manual. In addition, any
of the settings made in the initial configuration
of the unit may be changed at any time. As you
add new or different sources or speakers, or if
you wish to change a setting to better reflect
your listening taste, simply follow the instruc-
tions for changing the settings for that parame-
ter, as shown in this section.
Having completed the setup and configuration
process for your AVR 120, you are about
to experience the finest in music and home
theater listening. Enjoy!
