5. Turn the AVR 330 on either by pressing the
Standby/On Switch 3 on the front panel, or
via the remote by pressing the
Power On Button
d, the AVR Selector f or any of the Input
Selectors
eg on the remote. The Power
Indicator
2 will turn blue to confirm that the unit
is on, and the
Front Panel Displays will also
light.
Using the On-Screen Display
When making the following adjustments, you may find
it easier to use the AVR 330’s on-screen display sys-
tem. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear pic-
ture of the current status of the unit and make it easy
to see which speaker, delay, input or digital selection
you are making.
To view the on-screen menus, make certain that you
have made a connection from the
Video or S-Video
Monitor Out Jack
c on the rear panel to the
composite or S-Video input of your TV or projector. In
order to view the AVR 330’s displays, the correct
video source must be selected on the video display.
The on-screen menus are not available when a com-
ponent video display is in use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen
menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or
any direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important
that they not be left on the screen for an extended period
of time. The constant display of a static image such as
these menus or video game images may cause the
image to be permanently “burned into” the projection
tubes, plasma screen or CRT. This type of damage is not
covered by the AVR 330 warranty and may not be cov-
ered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.
The AVR 330 has two on-screen display modes,
“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making configura-
tion adjustments, it is recommended that the Full-OSD
mode be used. This will place an option listing on the
screen, making it easier to view the available options.
Making Configuration Adjustments
The full-OSD system is available by pressing the OSD
Button
v. When this button is pressed, the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1) will appear, and
adjustments are made from the individual menus.
Figure 1
The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you
to make adjustments directly, by pressing the appro-
priate buttons on the front panel or remote control for
the specific parameter to be adjusted. For example, to
change the digital input for any of the sources, press
the
Digital Select Button q and then press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n to scroll through the list of
options as they appear in the on-screen display or the
Lower Display Line ¯.
To use the full-OSD menu system, press the
OSD
Button
v. When the menu is on the screen, press
the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n until the on-screen
›
cursor
is next to the item you wish to adjust, and then press
the
Set Button p to adjust that item. The menus
will remain on the screen for 20 seconds, and then
they will “time-out” and disappear from
the screen. The
time-out may be increased to as much as 50 seconds
by going to the
ADVANCED menu, and changing
the item titled
FULL OSD TIME OUT.
When the full-OSD menu system is used,
OSD ON
will appear in the Upper Display Line ˜ to remind
you that a video display must be used. When the
semi-OSD system is used in conjunction with the dis-
crete configuration buttons, the on-screen display will
show the current menu selection. That selection will
also be shown in the
Upper Display Line ˜ or the
Lower Display Line ¯, depending on which
parameter is being adjusted.
Setting the System Configuration Memory
The AVR 330 features an advanced memory system
that enables you to establish different configurations
for the speaker configuration, digital input, surround
mode, delay times, crossover frequency and output
levels for each input source. This flexibility enables you
to customize the way in which you listen to each
source and have the AVR 330 memorize those set-
tings. This means, for example, that you may use dif-
ferent output levels or trims for different sources, or
set different speaker configurations with the resultant
changes to the bass management system. Once these
settings are made, they will automatically be recalled
whenever you select that input.
The factory default settings for the AVR 330 have all
inputs configured for an analog audio input except for
the DVD input, where the
Coaxial Digital Audio
Input 1
d is the default. The default speaker settings
are for “Large” speakers at the front left/right, “Small”
at all other positions, and the subwoofer on. However,
once the DSP processing system is used the first time
for any input, the speaker settings will automatically
default to “Small” at all positions with the subwoofer
set to “LFE.” The default setting for the surround
modes for all analog inputs is the Logic 7 Music
mode, although Dolby Digital or DTS will automatically
be selected as appropriate when either of those bit-
stream types is detected. When a 2-channel Dolby
Digital source is present, Dolby Pro Logic II will also be
selected automatically.
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 ana-
log inputs, the type of speakers installed and the sur-
round mode specifics of your home theater system.
Remember that since the AVR 330 memorizes the
settings for each input individually, 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 easy as possible,
we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with the
on-screen menus, and step through each input. Once
you have completed the settings for the first input,
many settings may be duplicated for the remaining
inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configuration
data in the order these items are listed in the
MAS-
TER MENU
, as some settings require a specific
entry in a prior menu item. Remember that once the
settings are made for one input, they must be made
for all other input sources in your system.
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR 330 is to configure
each input. Once an input is selected,
all settings for
the Digital Input, Speaker Configuration, Surround
Mode and Delay Timing 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
customize 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 v once so that
the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. The
>
cursor will be next to the INPUT SETUP line.
Press the
Set Button p to enter the menu and the
INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on
the screen. Press the
