18 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
System Configuration
First Turn On
Once the speakers have been placed in the
room and connected, the remaining steps are to
program the system configuration memories.
With the AVR 2000 two kind of memories are
used, those associated individually with the
input selected, e.g. surround modes, and others
working independently from any input selected
like speaker output levels, or delay times used
by the surround sound processor.
You are now ready to power up the AVR 2000 to
begin these final adjustments.
1. Plug the Power Cable
F
into an un-
switched AC outlet.
2. Press the Main Power Switch
1
in until it
latches and the word “OFF” on the top of the
switch disappears inside the front panel. Note
that the Power Indicator
3
will turn amber,
indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.
3. Install the 2 supplied AAA batteries in the
remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+)
and (–) polarity indicators as shown in the figure
below.
4.Turn the AVR 2000 on either by pressing the
System Power Control
2
or the Input
Source Selector
!
on the front panel, or via
the remote by pressing the AVR Selector
5
or any of the Input Selectors
46
on the
remote. The Power Indicator
3
will turn green
to confirm that the unit is on, and the Main
Information Display
Ú
will also light up.
Settings to be Made With Each
Input Used
The AVR 2000 features an advanced memory
system that enables you to establish different
configurations for the speaker configuration, dig-
ital input and surround mode for each input
source. This flexibility enables you to custom tai-
lor the way in which you listen to each source
and have the AVR 2000 memorize them.This
means, for example, that you may associate dif-
ferent surround modes and analog or digital
inputs with different sources, or set different
speaker configurations with the resultant
changes to the bass management system or the
use of the Center speaker. Once these settings
are made, they will automatically be recalled
whenever you select an input.
The default settings for the AVR 2000, as it is
shipped from the factory, have all inputs set for
an analog source, with stereo as the surround
mode, the front left and right speakers set to
“large” (with surround modes other speakers to
”small”), and a subwoofer connected. Before
using the unit, you will probably want to change
these settings for most inputs so that they are
properly configured to reflect the use of digital
or analog inputs, the type of speakers installed
and the surround mode specifics. Remember,
since the AVR 2000’s memory system keeps the
settings for each input separate from the other
inputs, 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 as easy as
possible, we suggest that with each of these set-
tings to be made you step through each input.
Once you have completed the settings for the
first input, many settings may be duplicated for
the remaining inputs.
The items that follow will describe the individual
settings required for each input.
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR 2000 is to
select an input.This may be done by pressing
the front panel Input Source Selector
!
until the desired input’s name appears momen-
tarily in the Main Information Display
X
,
and the green LED lights next to the input’s
name in the front panel Input Indicators
Ô
.
The input may also be selected by pressing the
appropriate Input Selector on the remote control
46
.
The second step is to associate one of the digital
inputs with the selected input source (if this is
needed, otherwise the selected analog input will
remain). Press the Digital Input Select button
Ò
F
on the front panel or the remote. Within
five seconds, make your input selection using the
Selector buttons on the front panel
5
or the
⁄/¤ buttons
C
on the remote until the
desired digital or analog input is shown in the
Main Information Display
X
.Then press the
Set button
E
to enter the new digital input
assignment.After the setting has been made
with one input, repeat as described above with
all inputs in use. The digital input associated
with the input selected can also be changed at
any time later and the AVR 2000´s memory sys-
tem will keep the settings until they are changed
again.
Speaker Setup
This setup tells the AVR 2000 which type of
speakers are in use.This is important as it
adjusts the settings that determine which
speakers receive low frequency (bass) informa-
tion and whether a Center speaker should be
used or not, separately for each input used. For
each of these settings use the LARGEset-
ting 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, frequen-
cy-limited satellite speakers that do not repro-
duce sounds below 100Hz. Note that when
“small” front (left and right) speakers are used,
a subwoofer is required to reproduce low fre-
quency 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. Remember that each speaker
setup that differs from the default settings (see
above) must be made individually for each input
of the AVR 2000.
It is best to select the Dolby Pro Logic mode for
speaker setup.Then with the currently selected
input all settings will be copied to other
surround modes too (as far as possible) and
need not be repeated with any other mode.
