1. Make certain that the AC power cord
is firmly inserted into the
AC Power
Cord Jack
and plug the cord
into an unswitched AC outlet. To
maintain the unit’s safety rating, DO
NOT replace the power cord that was
supplied with this product or provided
by your local JBL distributor for use
in your area with one that has a
lower current capacity.
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 red,
indicating that the unit is in the
Standby mode.
3. Remove the protective plastic film
from the front-panel lens. If left in
place, the film will affect the per-
formance of your remote control.
4. Install the three supplied AAA bat-
teries in the remote as shown. Be
certain to follow the (+) and (–)
polarity indicators that are on the top
of the battery compartment.
5. Turn the AVR580 on either by press-
ing the
System Power Control 2
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
3 will turn orange to confirm that
the unit is on, and the
Main
Information Display
˜ will
also light.
Using the On-Screen Display
When making the following adjustments,
you may find it easier to use the AVR580’s
on-screen display system. These easy-to-
read displays give you a clear picture 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 cer-
tain that you have made a connection
from the
Video Monitor Out Jack ¤
on the rear panel to the composite or
S-Video input of your TV or projector. In
order to view the AVR580’s displays, the
correct video source must be selected on
the video display. The on-screen menus
are not available when a component
video display is in use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the
on-screen menus using a CRT-based pro-
jector, 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 dis-
play 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
AVR580 warranty and may not be covered
by the projector/TV set’s warranty.
The AVR580 has two on-screen display
modes, “Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.”
When making configuration 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 appropriate 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
B.
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 system is in use, the
menu selections are not shown in the
Main Information Display ˜AB.
When the full-OSD menu system is used,
OSD ON will appear in the Upper
Display Line
A and the OSD
Indicator
C will light to remind you
that a video display must be used. When
the semi-OSD system is used in conjunc-
tion with the discrete configuration but-
tons, the on-screen display will show a
single line of text with the current menu
selection. That selection will also be
shown in the
Upper Display Line A or
the
Lower Display Line B, depending
on which parameter is being adjusted.
Setting the System Configuration
Memory
The AVR580 features an advanced memory
system that enables you to establish dif-
ferent configurations for the speaker con-
figuration, digital input, surround mode,
delay times, crossover frequency and out-
put levels for each input source. This flex-
ibility enables you to customize the way
in which you listen to each source and
have the AVR580 memorize those set-
tings. This means, for example, that you
may use different output levels or trims
for different sources, or set different
speaker configurations with the resultant
changes to the bass management sys-
tem. Once these settings are made, they
will automatically be recalled whenever
you select that input.
The factory default settings for the
AVR580 have all inputs configured for an
analog audio input except for the DVD
input, where the
Coaxial Digital Audio
Input 1
is the default. The default
speaker settings are for “Small” speakers
at all positions, and the subwoofer on.
However, once the DSP processing sys-
tem 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 is Logic 7
