INITIAL SETUP

Resolution to Display: This setting reflects the video output resolution, which is dependent upon the capabilities of the video display.

•If the display is connected to the AVR’s HDMI Output, the two devices will communicate with each other, and the AVR will automatically select the correct video output resolution.

•If the display is connected to the AVR’s Component Video Outputs, there is no automatic detection of the display’s capabilities, and the video output resolution must be manually adjusted to match the display’s capabilities (which may be obtained from the display’s manual or its manufacturer’s Web site).

•If the display is connected to the AVR’s Composite or S-Video Monitor Output, the video output resolution must be set to 480i (the factory default) to view any content, including the AVR’s own menus.

Adjust the resolution by pressing the front-panel Resolution Button repeatedly until the correct setting appears in the front-panel Message Display. For composite and S-video, the correct setting is 480i. For component video, it is the highest resolution where a picture is visible. You will be prompted to accept or cancel the resolution change; the CANCEL message will appear on the front panel. Press the ¤ Button to view the ACCEPT option, and then press the OK Button.

NOTE: When the display has a DVI input which is connected to the AVR using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter, the picture will be distorted or blank if the display is not HDCP-compliant. In that case, a different video connection must be used (component, composite or S-video).

Resolution From Source: Indicates the resolution of the video output by the source device.

Adjust Lip Sync: Resynchronizes the audio and video signals from a source to eliminate a “lip sync” problem. Lip sync issues can occur when the video portion of a signal undergoes additional processing in either the source or the video display. The Lip Sync adjuster appears by itself, enabling you to view the video while listening to the audio. Use the

‹ / › Buttons to delay the audio by up to 180ms. See Figure 56.

Button. The name will appear on the front panel and next to its original name, e.g., DVD, throughout the on-screen menu system. To clear the entry without making any changes, scroll to the blank character before “A”.

Audio Auto Polling: Used when both analog and digital audio connec- tions are made. When no digital signal is present, the AVR will automati- cally switch to the analog audio input.

This can be useful for older cable television systems that broadcast channels in both analog and digital audio, and for making analog recordings of copy-protected digital sources.

If an analog audio connection was made, select it here. If not, choose the Off setting, and the AVR will always use the digital audio connection.

Zone 2 Audio: Determines the source for the multizone system remote zone. Select the analog audio input the source is connected to. Digital audio is not available to the multizone system, nor is any type of video.

Press the Back/Exit Button, then return to the Setup Source line of the Main Menu to configure the next source. When you have finished, press the Back/Exit Button to clear the menus from view.

Change Name: Change the display name for your source, useful if your source’s device type is different from the available source names. Select this line and use the ⁄/¤ Buttons to scroll forward or reverse through the alphanumeric characters. When the desired character appears, use the › Button to move the cursor to the next position. Move the cursor again to leave a blank space. When you have finished, press the OK
