18 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
System Configuration
speaker settings will automatically default to
“Small” at all positions with the subwoofer set to
“LFE.” The default setting for the surround modes
is Logic 7 Music, although Dolby Digital or DTS
will automatically be selected as appropriate
when a source with digital encoding is in use.
Before using the unit, you will probably want to
change the settings for most inputs so that they
are properly configured to reflect the use of
digital or analog inputs and the surround mode
associated with the input. Remember that since
the AVR memorizes the settings for each input
individually, you will need to make these adjust-
ments 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 as easy as
possible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD
system with the on-screen menus, and step
through each input.
It is recommended that you record your settings
for each input using the work-sheets in the
appendix to this manual, in the event there is a
power loss or if you need to reenter the settings
for some other reason.
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 set-
tings for the Digital Input, Speaker Configuration,
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 cus-
tom 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
INPUTSETUP line. Press the Set button
F
to enter the menu and the INPUT
SETUPmenu (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
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.

The AVR offers you the option of renaming each
input (except tuner) as it appears in the on-screen
and front panel messages. This is helpful if you
have more than one VCR, if you wish to associate
a specific product brand name with the input, or
to simply enter any name that will help you to
remember which source is being selected.
To change the input name, press the

on the remote so that
the ➞ cursor is pointing to
TITLE. Next, press
and hold the Set Button

for a few seconds
until a flashing box appears to the right of the
colon. Immediately release the Set Button

,
as you are now ready to enter the device name.

and
note that a complete set of alpha-numeric charac-
ters will appear with the start of the alphabet in
capital letters followed by the lower-case letters
and then numbers and symbols. When you press
the

, a series of
symbols and numbers will appear, followed by a
reverse list of the alphabet in lower-case letters.
Press the button either way until the first letter of
the desired name appears. If you wish to enter a

process for the next letter, and continue until the
desired name is entered, up to a maximum of
fourteen characters.
Press the Set Button

to enter the input
name into the system memory and to proceed
with the configuration process.
If your system includes any sources that are
equipped with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs,
the AVR is able to switch them to send the proper
signals to your video display. All Component
Video Inputs
JL
may be assigned to any
source for added system flexibility. The default
setting is for the Video 1 Component Video
Input
L
to be assigned to the DVD, with the
Component Video 2 Jacks
J
assigned to the
other inputs. If your system does not include com-
ponent video at this time, or if you do not need to
change these defaults, press the
¤

Button
D
to go to the next setting.
To change the Component Video assignment, first
make certain that the ➞ cursor is pointing to the
COMPONENT IN line on the menu screen,
and then press the

Ea
until you see the desired input in the
highlighted video. The clicking noise that you will
hear when the component video inputs is
switched is normal, due to the relay used to
ensure proper isolation between the three inputs.
When the desired component input has been
selected, press the

D
go to the next setting.
AUDIO IN: By default, the analog audio inputs
are assigned at the factory to all sources, with the
following exceptions:
Table – Default Digital Audio Assignments
If you used a digital audio connection for another
source, you will need to change this setting to
assign the correct digital audio input to the
source, even if you also connected the analog
audio outputs of the source to the receiver. Move
the cursor to this line, and press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
until the correct digital input appears.
Some digital video input sources, such as a cable
box or HDTV set-top may change between analog
and digital outputs, depending on which channel
is in use. The AVR’s Auto Polling feature allows
you to avoid losing the audio feed when this hap-
pens by permitting both analog and digital con-
nections to the same source on the AVR. Digital
audio is the default, and the unit will automati-
cally switch to the analog audio if the digital
audio stream stops.
In cases where only a digital source is used, you
may wish to disable the Auto Polling feature to
prevent the AVR from trying to “find” an analog
source when the digital source is paused.To turn
Auto Polling off for any input, first make certain
that the
➞ cursor is pointing to the AUTO
POLLline on the menu screen. Next, press the
‹

Navigation Button
Ea
so that OFF
is highlighted in reverse video. Repeat the
procedure at any time by highlighting
ONto
restore the Auto Polling feature.
DMP SETTING: If you select DMP/The Bridge as
your source input, you will notice that the
AUDIOINline of the INPUT SETUPmenu
has been replaced by the option
GOTODMP
