setup menus

The Setup menus allow you to configure all aspects of your AVR360. The next few pages will go through the menu items and explain their function. The Setup menus will probably look quite daunting if you are new to setting up home cinema, but the majority of them need only be configured once when you first install the system (or if your system changes or you move house!)

The only way to view the Setup menus is on your display device (TV or projector) using the on-screen display (OSD) capability of the AVR360. To view the OSD for the initial setting up, connect any of the video outputs to your display device. You do not need to have a video source connected to the AVR360 video inputs.

Entering Setup mode

To enter the setup menu, press the menu button on the remote control or font panel. The front panel display shows ‘SETUP MENU’ and the setup menu (pictured right) is displayed.

Unstable OSD menu or picture display?

Menu panel

The left-hand panel lists the setup screens available for adjustment. The selected menu is highlighted with a grey band.

Adjustment panel

The upper right-hand panel lists the parameters you can change as a user. The selected line is highlighted with a black band. Lines that cannot be selected are greyed-out.

Scroll bars

These indicate the position of the displayed screen within longer menus.

The default AVR360 output video resolution when first powered up out of the box is 525-line/60Hz NTSC for analogue video and “Preferred” for digital video. This has been chosen as most display devices can synchronise to this automatically. This can be changed in the Video Outputs section of the Setup Menus.

Help screen

The lower right-hand panel gives a short help text for the feature being adjusted.

If the output resolution and frame rate is forced to a setting your display device does not support, the picture may become unstable or may not display at all. To reset the output video resolution and frame rate to the default values to restore the display, press and hold the front panel OK button for three seconds. Alternatively, press shifT then >on the remote control to cycle between different output resolutions until the picture returns.

Navigating the setup menu

… using the remote control

The setup menu can be navigated by using the cursor (arrow) keys on the remote control. This is by far the easiest method.

1.To enter the setup menu, press the menu button (which is located immediately under the navigation buttons).

2.Use the B and C keys to navigate up and down the main section headings in the left-hand panel.

3.Once you have the main section that you require highlighted, use the E key to enter the section.

4.Use the B and C keys to navigate up and

down the section settings in the right-hand panel. Some settings may be greyed out. These are either for information only (e.g. incoming sampling

frequency) or are not currently selectable (e.g. network IP address when DHCP is used). Scroll bars on the sides of the right hand panel indicate your position in the settings list where there are more items than can be displayed at once.

5.Pressing OK selects a setting to change it, pressing OK again de-selects the setting.

6.At any time, press the menu button to exit the menu. Any changes to settings are saved.

…using the keys on the front panel

The AVR360 front panel controls can be used to configure the unit. Follow the instructions for using the remote control, in this case using inPUT– for down, inPUT+ for up, inFO for left and ok for right.
