System Configuration

To make this process as quick and as easy as pos- sible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD sys- tem with the on-screen menus, and step through each input.

It is recommended that you record your settings for each input using the work-sheets in the appendix to this manual, in the event there is a power loss or if you need to reenter the settings for some other reason.

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR is to select an input, i.e. to associate an analog or digital input with each input source in use, e.g. CD or DVD. Note that once an input is selected, all settings for the Digital Input, Speaker Configura- tion, Delay and Surround Mode 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 custom tailor 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 L once so that the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. Note that the › cursor will be next to the INPUT SETUP line. Press the Set button

Fto enter the menu and the INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the

screen. Press the ‹/› buttons E until the desired input name appears in the highlighted video, as well as being indicated in the front panel Input Indicators by the blue LED next to the desired input name. If the input will use the standard left/right analog inputs, no further adjustment is needed.

The AVR offers you the option of renaming each input (except tuner) as it appears in the on-screen and front panel messages. This is helpful if you have more than one VCR, if you wish to associate a specific product brand name with the input, or to simply enter any name that will help you to remember which source is being selected.

To change the input name, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Don the remote so that the ➞ cursor is pointing to NAME. Next, press and hold the Set Button Ffor a few seconds until a flashing box appears to the right of the

colon. Immediately release the Set Button F, as you are now ready to enter the device name.

Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Dand note that a complete set of alpha-numeric charac- ters will appear with the start of the alphabet in capital letters followed by the lower-case letters and then numbers and symbols. When you press the ¤ Navigation Button D, a series of sym- bols and numbers will appear, followed by a reverse list of the alphabet in lower-case letters. Press the button either way until the first letter of the desired name appears. If you wish to enter a blank space as the first character, press the ›

Navigation Button

.

When the desired character appears, press the ›

Navigation Button and repeat the process for the next letter, and continue until the desired name is entered, up to a maximum of fourteen characters.

Press the Set Button Fto enter the input name into the system memory and to proceed with the configuration process.

If your system includes any sources that are equipped with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the AVR is able to switch them to send the proper signals to your video display. Both Component

Video Inputs may be assigned to any source for added system flexibility. The default setting is for the Video 1 Component Video Input to be assigned to the DVD, with the Component Video 2 Jacks assigned to the other inputs. If your system does not include com- ponent video at this time, or if you do not need to change these defaults, press the ¤ Navigation Button Dto go to the next setting.

To change the Component Video assignment, first make certain that the ➞ cursor is pointing to the COMPONENT IN line on the menu screen, and then press the ‹/› Navigation Button

Euntil you see the desired input in the highlighted video. The clicking noise that you will hear when the component video inputs is switched is normal, due to the relay used to ensure proper isolation between the three inputs.

When the desired component input has been selected, press the ¤ Navigation Button D go to the next setting.

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with the selected input source, press the ¤ Button Don the remote while the INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and note that the on-screen cursor will drop down to the DIGITAL IN line. Press the ‹/› Buttons

Euntil the name of the desired digital input appears. To return to the Analog input, press the buttons until the word ANALOG appears. When the correct input source appears, press the ¤ button Duntil the ➝ cursor appears next to BACK TO MASTER MENU, and press the Set Button F.

To associate an analog or digital input with the input source currently selected at any time using

the discrete function buttons, press the Digital Input Select Button ÛGon the front panel or the remote while the full-OSD is not in use. Within five seconds, make your input selection using the Selector buttons on the front panel 7 or the ⁄/¤ DButtons on the remote until the desired digital or analog input is shown in the Main Information Display Òand in the lower third of the video display connected to the AVR. Press the Set Button Fto enter the new input assignment.

Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box or HDTV set-top may change between analog and digital outputs, depending on which channel is in use. The AVR’s Auto Polling feature allows you to avoid losing the audio feed when this hap- pens by permitting both analog and digital con- nections to the same source on the AVR. Digital audio is the default, and the unit will automati- cally switch to the analog audio if the digital audio stream stops.

In cases where only a digital source is used, you may wish to disable the Auto Polling feature to prevent the AVR from trying to “find” an analog source when the digital source is paused. To turn Auto Polling off for any input, first make certain that the ➞ cursor is pointing to the AUTO POLL line on the menu screen. Next, press the ‹/› Navigation Button E so that OFF is highlighted in reverse video. Repeat the proce- dure at any time by highlighting ON to restore the Auto Polling feature.

When DMP has been selected as the source input, an additional line will appear in this menu that lets you select whether you wish to allow your iPod to continue charging while

docked in when the AVR 140 is turned off and placed in Standby mode. To make your selection, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons Duntil the

➞cursor is next to the line reading

RECHARGE IN ST-BY. Press the ‹/›

Buttons E until the word YES appears if you wish charging to continue, and the blue light- ing on The Bridge will remain lit when the AVR 140 is in Standby mode to indicate that charging is taking place. The default setting is NO, in which the docked iPod will not continue to charge when the AVR 140 is turned off, even though remains connected to the AVR.

When all needed adjustments have been made, press the ¤ Button Duntil the ➞ cursor is next to BACK TO MASTER MENU to con- tinue with the system configuration.

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 26 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
