ADV 4 – Zone 2 Settings

Zone2 vol: Sets the volume for Zone 2.

Max Vol 20–83: Limits the maximum volume setting for Zone 2. This is a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low power-handling speakers, for example.

Fix Vol: This selects between fixed and variable audio output to Zone 2. If No is selected, the output level can be controlled from Zone 2 or the main system. If you wish to fix the volume level, first set the Zone 2 volume to the desired level, then select Yes.

Max On Vol: Limits the maximum volume Zone 2 operates at when it is first switched on. Zone 2 comes on at this volume if the last used volume exceeds this value.

Stand-by: This allows zone 1 (the main zone) to be put into stand-by, either locally only or by Zone 2 as well.

<Local Only: Only the main zone will be switched into stand-by from the main zone.

<All Off: Both the main zone and Zone 2 will be switched into stand-by from the main zone. Access: This acts as a ‘parental control’ device to disable or enable access to sources for Zone 2.

Press the unwanted source button on the remote control handset or front panel to disable it for Zone 2.

Press again to enable the source.

Enabled sources are listed on the ‘Access:’ line of the menu page.

ADV 5 – Analogue Settings

Input trims: Allows the adjustment of the input sensitivity of the analogue inputs (in Volts rms) so that each one achieves the optimum dynamic range and sounds similar in loudness to the others.

Available level settings are: Low 0.5V, Medium 1V, Reference 2V, High 4V. The reference level of 2V should be appropriate for most inputs.

If a source is very quiet compared with the other sources you can increase its loudness by selecting the Medium 1V or Low 0.5V settings.

ADV 6 – HDMI Settings

The AVR350 provides two HDMI inputs; these are labelled ‘DVD’ and ‘SAT’ in anticipation of the most common use for these connectors, but they may be used for any HDMI source. These inputs may be configured to be associated with any of the other sources, so that selecting that source (‘AUX’, for example), selects one of the HDMI inputs instead of the usual input associated with that source.

Note: If the DVD button is assigned to an HDMI input, you will also be able to view the HDMI signal from the DVD player if the MCH (DVD-A multi-channel) button is selected.
