System Configuration

Surround Mode will ”attach” themselves to that input and be stored in a non-volatile 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 IN/OUT SETUP line. Press the Set but- ton Fto enter the menu and the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen. Press the ‹/› buttons Euntil the desired input name appears in the highlighted video, as well as being indicated in the front panel Input Indicators ˆ. If the input will use the standard left/right analog inputs, no further adjustment is needed (except with DVD).

When you are scrolling through the list of avail- able inputs, it is possible that you hear a slight click from time to time. This is normal, as it is caused by the relay that is used to switch between the two Component Video Inputs.

When one of the four Video inputs is selected as the source, you have the option of renaming the input 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 Eon the remote so that the ➞ cursor is pointing to TITLE. 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 Eand 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 E, 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 E.

When the desired character appears, press the › Navigation Button Eand 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. Each of the three

Component Video Inputs may be assigned to any source for added system flexibili- ty. The default setting is for the Component DVD Jacks to be assigned to the DVD and 6/8-Channel Direct Inputs, with the Component Video 1 Jacks assigned to the other inputs. If your system does not include component video at this time, or if you do not need to change these defaults, press the ¤ Navigation Button E to 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 E until 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 E go to the next setting.

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with the selected input source, press the ¤ Button Eon the remote while the IN/OUT 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.

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 ⁄/¤ EButtons on the remote until the desired digital or analog input is shown in the Main Information Display ˜ and 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 635’s Auto Polling feature allows you to avoid losing the audio feed when

this happens by permitting both analog and digi- tal connections to the same source on the AVR. Digital audio is the default, and the unit will auto- matically 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, please refer to the explanations on page 42.

An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to switch front panel jacks from their normal use as inputs to output connections so that portable recording devices may easily be connected. The front panel analog Video 4 Jacks Ô are nor- mally set as an input for use with camcorders, video games and other portable audio/video prod- ucts, but they may be switched to an output for connection to portable audio/video recorders. To temporarily switch them to outputs, select the IN/OUT SETUP menu. Press the ¤ button

Euntil the on-screen ➞ cursor is pointing to the VIDEO 4 line. Press the › button Eso that the word OUT is highlighted. Note that the Input/Output Status Indicator ( between the S and Composite video jacks will turn red, indicating that the analog Video 4 jacks Ô are now record outputs.

On the AVR, the Coaxial 4 Digital Jack Óis nor- mally an input, but it may also be switched to a dig- ital output for use with CD-R/RW decks, MD re- corders or other digital audio recorders. To change the jack to an output, press the ⁄/¤ buttons E while the IN/OUT SETUP menu is on the screen so that the ➞ cursor is next to COAXI- AL 4. Then press the ‹/› buttons Eso that the word OUT is highlighted. Note that the Digital Coax 4 Status Indicator (will turn red, indicat- ing that the jack is now a record output.

Note: A signal will be sent to this jack only when the input selected for use by the AVR is digital. Digital signals will be passed through regardless of their format, and which digital input (optical or coax) they are fed from. However, analog signals are not converted to digital, and the format of the signal (e.g., PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS) may not be changed.

Selection of the jacks as an output will remain effec- tive as long as the AVR is on. However, once the unit is turned off, the jack will revert to its normal use as an input when the unit is turned on again.

The AVR 635 uses high-quality video decoding cir- cuitry that makes it possible to convert standard (composite) or S-video signals from their original form to separate component analog outputs that carry the receiver’s OSD menus and messages with no loss in quality. This enables you to simplify connections to a digital video display since only one set of component video cables is needed to view all input sources connected to the AVR 635. Conversely, the conversion circuitry may be used to convert component inputs to an S-video or
