22 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
System Configuration
composite video output when a receiver that is
capable of displaying a component signal is not
available.
In most cases you will want to have the conver-
sion circuitry engaged, but in some installations it
may be preferable to turn it off. If you prefer the
way a video signal looks in its original form, you
may turn the video conversion circuitry off by first
making certain that the
IN/OUTSETUP
menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and then press-
ing the

E
until the
➞ cursor is pointing to
VIDEOCONVand
then press the

Navigation Button
E
so
that
OFFis shown in highlighted video. This set-
ting is made individually for each input, so be cer-
tain to make any desired change for each input
source where you wish to turn the conversion cir-
cuitry off.
Should you wish to return the conversion circuitry
to the On position at any time, simply use the
steps shown above, but press the
‹

Navigation Button
E
so that ONis shown in
highlighted video.
The final input setting is also individual to each
input, and it allows you to set the priority for the
video conversion circuitry. In most cases, where
only one type of video connection is made
between a source device and the AVR you will not
need to change this setting, and if all other
parameters have been adjusted to meet your sys-
tem requirements, you may proceed to the next
configuration steps by pressing the

until the ➞ cursor is
pointing to

then pressing the Set Button

.
In some cases when you wish to set a specific
input for the video conversion circuits, a change
to the setting here is required. In the Automatic
mode, the AVR will scan all video inputs and route
the first signal it encounters to the component
output. However, in advanced systems, or when
more than one video input is connected to the
same source, you may want to bypass the auto-
matic selection and manually choose which signal
is converted.
For example, in some cases both component and
standard composite video outputs from a set-top
box may be connected to the AVR so that the
component signal is fed to a digital video display
and the composite signal to a recorder. In this
case you would not want the composite signal
converted, but rather have the component signal
passed through to the main output with the com-
posite.
To make this type of system configuration first
make certain that the
IN/OUTSETUP menu
(Figure 2) is on the screen, Next, press the

and Component inputs for the source to be rout-
ed to the component outputs. To select a specific
output, press the

tion.
Audio Setup
This menu allows you to configure the tone con-
trols and to turn the upsampling on or off. If you
do not wish to change any of those settings at
this time, proceed to the next menu screen.
However, to make configuration changes to those
parameters, make certain that the
MASTER
MENU
is on the screen with the ➞ cursor point-
ing to the
AUDIOSETUP line, and press the
Set Button
F
.The AUDIOSETUPmenu
(Figure 3) will appear.
Figure 3
The first line controls whether or not the bass/tre-
ble tone controls are in the signal path.The nor-
mal default is for them to be in-line, but if you
wish to remove them from the circuit for “flat”
response, first make certain that the ➞ cursor is
pointing to the TONE line on the menu and press
the
‹

Navigation Button
E
so that OUT
is highlighted in reverse video.
If you wish to leave the tone controls in the signal
path, the amount off boost or cut for bass and
treble may be adjusted by pressing the
⁄

Navigation Button
E
so that the ➞ cursor is
next to the line for the setting you wish to adjust.
Next, press the
‹

›
Navigation Button
E
until the desired setting is shown.
This menu also includes a setting to turn the unit’s
upsampling feature on or off. In normal use, this
feature is turned off, which means that digital
sources are processed at their native sample rate.
For example, a 48kHz digital source will be
processed at 48kHz. However, the AVR allows you
to upsample the incoming 48kHz signals to 96kHz
for added resolution.
To take advantage of this feature, press the

so that the ➞ cursor is

so that ONis
highlighted in reverse video. Note that this feature
is only available for the Dolby Pro Logic II-Music,
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic and
Dolby 3 Stereo modes.

this menu, press the

Surround Setup
The next step for that input is to set the surround
mode you wish to use with that input. Since sur-
round modes are a matter of personal taste, feel
free to select any mode you wish – you may
change it later.The Surround Mode chart on page
33 may help you select the mode best suited to
the input source selected. For example you may
select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most ana-
log inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected
to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a
CD Player,Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set
the mode to Stereo, if that is your preferred listen-
ing mode for standard stereo sources, where it is
unlikely that sur
round encoded material will be
used.Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or
Logic 7
Music mode may also be a good choice for
stereo-only source material.
It is easiest to complete the surround setup using
the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the
MASTERmenu (Figure 1), press the

until the ➝ cursor is next to the
SURROUNDSELECT menu. Press the
Set Button
F
so that the SURROUND
SELECT
menu (Figure 4) is on the screen.
Figure 4
Each of the option lines on this menu (Figure 4)
selects the surround mode category, and within
each of those categories there will be a choice of
the specific mode options. The choice of modes
will vary according to the speaker configuration in
your system.
When the
SURRBACKline of the
SPEAKERSETUP menu (Figure 9) is set to
NONEthe AVR will be configured for 5.1-chan-
nel operation, and only the modes appropriate to
a five-speaker system will appear.
When the
SURRBACKline of the
SPEAKERSETUP menu (Figure 9) is set to
SMALLor LARGE the AVR will be configured
for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, and additional
modes such as Dolby Digital EX and 7 STEREO or
Logic 7 7.1 will appear, as they are only available
when seven main speakers are present. In
addition, the modes DTS ES (Discrete) and
DTS+NEO:6 (DTS ES Matrix) available in the AVR
will not appear unless a digital source is playing
the correct bitstream.
