SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

When using the full-OSD system to make the setup adjustments, press the OSD Button 31 once so that the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. The

cursor will be next to the INPUT SETUP line. Press the Set Button q and the INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen. Press the /Navigation Button o until the desired input name appears in the highlighted video, as well as being indicated in the front-panel Input Indicators !. When you are scrolling through the list of available inputs you will 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

Press the Set Button q to enter the input name into the system memory and to proceed with the con- figuration process.

If your system includes any sources that are equipped with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the AVR 430 is able to switch them to send the proper signals to your video display. Each of the two Component Video Inputs cd may be assigned to any source for added system flexibility. The default setting is for the Component Video 1 Jacks c to be assigned to the DVD and 6/8-Channel Direct Inputs, with the Component Video 2 Jacks d assigned to all 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 o 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 o 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 two inputs.

When the desired component input has been selected, press the ¤ Navigation Button o to go to the next setting.

To change the digital input at any time using the dis- crete function buttons and the semi-OSD system, press the Digital Select Button p on the remote. Within five seconds, make your input selection using the /¤ Navigation Button o until the desired digital or analog input is shown in the Upper Display Line # and in the lower line of the on-screen dis- play. Press the Set Button q to enter the new digital input assignment.

When all needed adjustments have been made, press the ¤ Navigation Button o until the cursor is next to BACK TO MASTER MENU to con- tinue with the system configuration.

Audio Setup

This menu allows you to configure the tone controls and to turn the upsampling on or off. If you do not wish to change any of those settings at this time, pro- ceed to the next menu screen. However, to make configuration changes to those parameters, make cer- tain that the MASTER MENU is on the screen with the cursor pointing to the AUDIO SETUP line, and press the Set Button q. The AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 3) will appear.

you to remember which source is being selected.

To change the input name, press the /¤ Navigation Button o on the remote so that the cursor is pointing to NAME. Next, press and hold the Set Button q for a few seconds until a flashing box appears to the right of the colon. Immediately release the Set Button q, as you are now ready to enter the device name.

Press the /¤ Navigation Button o and note that a complete set of alpha-numeric characters 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 o, a series of symbols 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 o.

When the desired character appears, press the Navigation Button o and repeat the process for the next letter, and continue until the desired name is entered, up to a maximum of fourteen characters.

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with the selected input source or change the default digital input selection, press the ¤ Navigation Button o on the remote while the INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and the on-screen cursor will drop down to the DIGITAL IN line. Press the /Navigation Button o until the name

of the desired digital input appears. To return to the analog input, press the button until the word ANALOG appears.

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 particularly useful when configuring the connection for digital set top boxes, where some channels feature digital sound, but others do not.

Figure 3

The first line controls whether or not the bass/treble tone controls are in the signal path. The normal 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 o so 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 o so that the cursor is next to the line for the setting you wish to adjust. Next, press the /Navigation Button o 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
