Convergence and Edge Focus
The crosshatch pattern that may surround the test screen may be used to
evaluate edge focus and convergence in front- or rear-projection video
displays. If you are unable to improve the picture using the available controls,
contact the video display manufacturer’s authorized service representative for
assistance.
When you have finished making any video adjustments, press the Back/Exit
Button.
MULTIZONE OPERATION
With the multizone system in use, you may enjoy an exciting 5.1-channel
home theater presentation in the main listening area, while others listen to
the same materials or an entirely different presentation in another room.
Although installation of a multizone system is not complicated, it requires
running wires inside walls. Check your local building codes and comply with
the requirements for in-wall wiring systems, to prevent the possibility of a
dangerous situation. If you have any questions about installing a multizone
system, it is strongly recommended that you contact a professional custom
installer. See Step Eight of the Installation section on page 22 in the Basic
Manual for instructions on installing a multizone system.
Operating the Multizone System
The AVR 460/AVR 360’s multizone system is accessed using the on-screen
Zone 2 menu. Press the Setup Button, and use the
KL
Buttons to navigate
to the Zone 2 line. Press the OK Button to display the Zone 2 menu. See Figure
38.
Figure 38 – Zone 2 Menu
Status
: Turns the multizone system on or off. When no one is listening in the
remote room, leave this setting at the default of OFF.
Source
: Indicates the source input for the remote zone. You may select a
different source from the main listening area. However, if the same source has
been selected for both the main listening area and the remote zone, listeners
in both areas will hear the same content.
NOTE
: Only analog audio sources, including The Bridge III, are available
to the multizone system. To hear digital devices, such as a CD player, in the
remote zone, follow these steps:
In addition to a digital audio connection, connect the source device’s 1.
analog audio outputs to the AVR. Make a note in Table A5 in the
appendix which set of inputs was used.
In the Info Settings menu, leave the Audio Input From Source setting 2.
at the digital audio input. Scroll down to the Zone 2 Audio setting and
select the analog audio input.
Volume
: The volume is controlled separately for the remote zone.
Surround Back Amps
: Reassign the surround back channels to the
multizone system. When this line is set to Zone 2, you may only configure the
main listening room for up to 5.1 channels. The EzSet/EQ process will only
configure the main system. Use the Manual Setup section of the Speaker
Setup menu to configure the remote speakers with this setting at Main Room,
then return this setting to Zone 2.
To operate the multizone system using the main remote, slide the Zone Select
Switch at the bottom of the remote to the “2” position. To select a zone using
the Zone 2 remote (AVR 460 only), press the Zone Selector, and the Zone
Indicator will turn green when the remote is set to operate Zone 1, or red to
operate Zone 2.
SYSTEM SETTINGS
The AVR 460/AVR 360 offers system settings for ease of use. These settings
may be accessed from the System Settings menu, which is selected by
pressing the Setup Button and navigating to the System line. Press the OK
Button to display the System Settings menu. See Figure 39.

Front-Panel Dimmer
: Select On 100% for full brightness, dim to 50% or
25% of full brightness or select Off to fully darken the display. The light inside
the Volume Control will go out when the display is partly or fully dimmed,
but the Power Indicator will always remain lit to remind you that the AVR is
powered on.
GENERAL AVR SETTINGS
Volume Units
: Select whether volume is displayed in the conventional
decibel scale or on a numeric scale from 0 to 90. When the decibel scale
is used, 0dB is the maximum recommended volume, with lower volumes
displayed as negative values.
Volume Default and Volume Default Level
: These two settings are
used together to program the volume level at turn-on. Turn Volume Default
on, and then set the Volume Default Level to the desired turn-on volume.
When the Volume Default setting is left off, the AVR will play at the last-used
volume setting from the previous listening session.
Unit of Measure

Speaker Setup. Select between meters and feet.
Language
