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 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 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 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 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 two
Component Video Inputs may be
assigned to any source for added system flexibili- ty. The default setting is for the Component Video 2 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 com- ponent video at this time, or if you do not need to change these defaults, press the ¤ Navigation Button Eto 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 nor- mal, due to the relay used to ensure proper isola- tion between the two 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 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 Euntil 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 ÚGon 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.
When configuring the digital input for a source device such as a digital cable box or other set-top tuner product with a digital audio output where you have connected both the digital and analog outputs of the source to the AVR, select the appropriate digital input on this menu. The digital source will become the default, and the AVR will always look there first to see if a signal is present. However, if the digital data stream is interrupted for any reason, the AVR will automatically switch to the analog connection as a backup. This is par- ticularly useful when configuring the connection for digital set top boxes, where some channels feature digital sound, but others do not.
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 AUDIO SETUP line, and press the Set Button F. The AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 3) will appear.

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 Eso 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 Eso 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
