SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Making Configuration Adjustments

The full-OSD system is available by pressing the OSD Button U. When this button is pressed, the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) will appear, and adjustments are made from the individual menus.

The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you to make adjustments directly, by pressing the appro- priate buttons on the front panel or remote control for the specific parameter to be adjusted. For example, to change the digital input for any of the sources, press the Digital Select Button o and then press the /¤ Navigation Button n to scroll through the list of options as they appear in the on-screen display or in the Lower Display Line $.

Setting the System Configuration Memory

The AVR 445 features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different configurations for the component video assignment, digital input and surround mode and other settings for each input source. This flexibility enables you to customize the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR 445 memorize those settings. Once these set- tings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever you select that input.

To simplify initial configuration and operation, the AVR 445 has been preconfigured with input settings that are typical for home theater systems. These set- tings are detailed in the worksheets in the Appendix. Before adjusting the input settings, it is a good idea to compare your input connections to the defaults so that you may see where changes need to be made.

Before using the unit, you may want to change the settings for some inputs so that they are properly configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs, the type of video display and speakers installed, and the surround mode specifics of your home theater system.

When any input other than the tuner, 8-channel inputs or the USB input, 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 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 Buttons D© on the remote so that the cursor is pointing to TITLE. Next, press and hold the Set Button for a few seconds until a flashing box appears to the right of the colon. Immediately release the Set Button , as you are now ready to enter the device name.

Press the /¤ Navigation Buttons D© and note that alphanumeric characters will appear with the start of the alphabet in capital letters, followed by the lowercase letters, and then numbers and symbols. When you press the ¤ Navigation Button D ©, the symbols and numbers will appear first, followed by a reverse list of the alphabet in lowercase 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

Semi-OSD messages are available only when a 480i input source is being viewed. They are not available when a 480p, 720p or 1080i source or an HDMI input is selected.

To use the full-OSD menu system, press the OSD Button U. When the menu is on the screen, press the /¤ Navigation Button until the on-screen cursor is next to the item you wish to adjust, and then press the Set Button to adjust that item. The menus will remain on the screen for 20 seconds, and then they will “time-out” and dis- appear from the screen. The time-out may be increased to as much as 50 seconds by going to the ADVANCED menu, and changing the item titled

FULL OSD TIME OUT.

When the full-OSD system is in use, the menu selec- tions are not shown in the Upper or Lower Display Lines #$. When the full-OSD menu system is used, OSD ON will appear in the Upper Display Line # to remind you that a video display must be used. When the semi-OSD system is used in conjunc- tion with the discrete configuration buttons, the on- screen display will show two lines of text with the cur- rent menu selection. That selection will also be shown in the Upper or Lower Display Lines #$, depending on which parameter is being adjusted.

In/Out Setup

The first step is to configure each input source. When an input is selected, the settings will “attach” them- selves to that input and be stored in a nonvolatile memory. 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 customize each source to your specific listening requirements. However, once done, they need not be changed again unless your system components have changed.

When using the full-OSD system to make the setup adjustments, press the OSD Button Uonce so that the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. The cursor will be next to the IN/OUT SETUP line. Press the Set Button and the first page of the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen. Press the /Navigation Button D© until the desired input name appears in the highlighted video, as well as being indicated in the front-panel Input Indicators !.

Navigation Button D©.

When the desired character appears, press the Navigation Button D© and repeat the process for the next letter, and continue until the desired name is entered, up to a maximum of 14 characters. Press the Set Button to enter the input name into the system memory and to proceed with the configu- ration process.

After entering the input title, press the /¤ Navigation Buttons D© to move to the next line.

The audio input defaults are shown in the table in the Appendix. If your system configuration follows the default table, no changes are needed and you may press the /¤ Navigation Buttons D© to move to the next line.

With the cursor pointing to AUDIO IN-PORT, press the /Navigation Buttons D© to change the default to a different audio input connection. When the name of the desired input appears, press the /¤ Navigation Buttons D© to move to the next line.

In normal operation, when a digital audio stream is interrupted, the unit will automatically switch to the analog inputs associated with that source. This is par- ticularly useful with cable set-top boxes where the input is normally digital, but occasionally changes to analog. If you wish to configure an input so that the auto-poll circuit is turned off, while the on-screen cur- sor is pointing to the AUDIO AUTO POLL line, simply press the /Navigation Buttons
