System Configuration

Once the main VIDEO MAIN menu is dis- played with the on-screen➔ cursor pointing to SOURCE press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons DF until the name of the input you wish to change the settings for is shown. At the same time, any video input name that you had previ- ously programmed to individualize the source setting will be shown on the TITLE line. If you have not already changed the input name and wish to do so at this time, press the ¤ Navigation Button DF so that the on- screen ➞ cursor is pointing to TITLE and fol- low the instructions for changing the input source name as shown on page 23.

Once the source to be adjusted has been select- ed, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF until the on-screen cursor is pointing to SOURCE TYPE as the two lines below the TITLE line are informational only, and their setting may not be adjusted in this menu.

•The VIDEO IN-PORTline shows the video input jacks used for this input. If AUTO has been selected, the display will alternate between AUTO and the actual active input.

•The VIDEO PROCESS line shows whether the system is in the Bypass, Video Conversion or Faroudja video processing mode. Note that the FAROUDJA setting must be enabled for the input being adjusted through the IN/OUT MENU in order for the set- tings available on this menu and the

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION menus to be active.

Once an input is selected, the first configuration choice is to tell the AVR 745 what type of device is being used for that source. To change this set- ting from the system default, press the ¤ Navigation Button DF so that the on- screen ➞ cursor is pointing to SOURCE TYPE and then press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons DF to select from among the options shown one that is closest to the type of product connected to that input. The selection made will change the settings on the

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION SUB-

MENUS to the parameters best suited to that type of device. Of course, you may also change these settings yourself at any time through the submenus.

The list of input source defaults is:

DVD: This setting is optimized for use with the output signal of a typical DVD player.

VCR: This setting is optimized for use with the output signal of an analog videocassette recorder.

CABLE DIG: This setting is optimized for use with digital cable set-top boxes. However, it is important to note that even when a digital cable system is in use, there may be a mix of digital and analog channels. We recommend that you start with this setting and then change the options in the ADVANCED CONFIGURATION menus as needed to tailor the output to your preferences.

SAT DIG: This setting is optimized for use with digital satellite-system set-top boxes.

CABLE ANALOG: This setting is optimized for use with analog cable set-top boxes.

SAT ANALOG: This setting is optimized for use with analog satellite-system set-top boxes.

CAMERA ANA: This setting is optimized for use with analog VHS and VHS-C camcorders.

CAMERA DIG: This setting is optimized for use with digital camcorders or still image cameras.

The DISPLAY TYPE line is a global, rather than input-dependant setting, as there is only one display connected to the AVR. The settings here are primarily changes to the video enhance- ment level and aspect ratio for a specific type of device, and defaults were selected after testing on a wide range of product brands. To change this setting, press the ¤ Navigation Button DF so that the on-screen➞ Cursor is point- ing to DISPLAY TYPE and then press the ‹/› Navigation Button DF to select from among the options shown that is closest to the type of display being used. The selection made will change the settings on the ADVANCED CONFIGURATION SUB-MENUS to the parameters best suited to that type of device. Of course, you may also change these settings your- self at any time through the sub-menus. The list of video source defaults is:

CRT: This setting is optimized for use with dis- plays that use cathode ray tubes (CRTs) to dis- play images. For the purposes of this setting it does not matter if the display is a single tube, direct view CRT television or a three-tube front or rear projector.

The default aspect ratio is 4:3, but you may change that setting if desired on the second page of the Advanced Configuration sub- menus, as shown on page 28.

REAR PROJECT: This setting is optimized for rear projectors, regardless of the imaging technology used.

FRONT PROJECT: This setting is opti- mized for front projectors, regardless of the imaging technology used.

PLASMA: This setting is optimized for plasma displays, regardless of whether they are full High Definition-capable or “ED” displays that are HD-compatible.

DLP: This setting is optimized for use with projectors that use light engines with Texas Instruments DLP™ technology. For the purpos- es of this setting, it does not matter whether the display uses one or three chips, or whether the display is a front- or rear-projection system. The default aspect ratio is 16:9, but you may change that setting if desired on the second page of the Advanced Configuration submenus, as shown on page 28.

LCD: This setting is optimized for use with dis- plays that use liquid crystal display (LCD) tech- nology. For the purposes of this setting, it does not matter whether the display is a direct-view LCD flat panel, or a front- or rear-projection sys- tem using three LCDs as its light engine. The default aspect ratio is 16:9, but you may change that setting if desired on the second page of the Advanced Configuration submenus, as shown on page 28.

The ENHANCE LEVEL setting adjusts the degree to which the enhancement circuits that adjust the high frequency content of the signal are applied. This is similar to the "Sharpness" control on a traditional television. This setting acts on the vertical and horizontal as well as the luminance and chrominance signals to offer what will appear as enhanced depth in the picture as well as greater small object detail. In general, lower settings are applicable for digital displays and sources, while higher settings may be pre- ferred for CRT based-displays and analog sources.

If you wish to change the default setting to suit your specific display type, input sources and personal image preferences, when the VIDEO MAIN menu is on the screen, press the ¤ Navigation Button DF so that the on- screen ➞ Cursor is pointing to ENHANCE LEVEL and then press the ‹/› Navigation Button DF to enter the setting that deliv- ers the best image to your eyes on the scale of 0 to 100.
