System Configuration

You may edit a title by inserting or deleting char- acters. To insert a new character between two existing characters, move the cursor to highlight the character to the right of the insertion point- ing the bar at the top of the screen. Then high- light the INS indicator on screen and press the Set Button F. You may now select a charac- ter to insert in the new space. Delete a character by moving the cursor to highlight the unwanted character in the bar at the top of the screen. Then highlight the DEL indicator on screen and press the Set Button F.

When you have finished entering the new title, highlight the OK indicator and press the Set Button F to return to the Input Setup menu. Although the Source Input name will remain the same in the Input Setup menu, the new title will appear in the semi-OSD displays and the front- panel display as appropriate.

NOTES:

Only upper case letters are available for titles.

Normally both the source input and the digital (or analog) audio input selection appear on the upper line of the semi-OSD and front-panel dis- plays. When The Bridge source is selected, its status as CONNECTED or UNPLUGGED appears in place of the audio input selection. However, when a source input is retitled, the audio input selection (or status of The Bridge) no longer appear unless you press the Digital Input Selector GÛ on the remote or front panel.

The Video In setting reflects the video input that is assigned to the source. The default assignment for all sources is COMPOSITE except as shown in the below table:

Source Input

Default Video Input

DVD

COMPONENT 1

VIDEO 1

COMPONENT 2

VIDEO 2

COMPONENT 3

HDMI 1

HDMI 1

HDMI 2

HDMI 2

We recommend that you leave the setting for the HDMI sources as is. For the other sources, change this setting in the Video In line to reflect use of the Component 1, 2 or 3 Video Input as appropriate. If you used the composite or S-video input for any source, make sure this setting is COMPOSITE. (There is no separate selection for S-Video.)

NOTE: If your video display has an HDMI input, then you only need to connect the AVR’s HDMI Output # to the display. The AVR 347 transcodes analog source video signals from composite, S-video or component video to the HDMI format, and is also capable of upscaling the signal to match your display’s capabilities.

If your display does not have an HDMI input, but does have component video inputs, again you only need to connect the AVR’s Component Video Monitor Outputs ￿ to the display. The AVR 347 transcodes composite and S-video sig- nals to the component video format. Similarly, if your display’s best-quality video input is S-video, you do not need to connect the Composite Video Monitor Output to the display; any composite video source signals will be converted to S-video format, and S-video signals may be converted to composite video format if your video display is not equipped with an S-video input.

By default, the analog audio inputs are assigned at the factory to all sources, with the following exceptions:

Source Input

Default Digital Audio Input

DVD

Coax 1

Video 2

Optical 1

HDMI1

Coax 2

HDMI2

Optical 2

If you used a digital audio connection for anoth- er source, you will need to change this setting on the Audio In line of the menu to assign the correct digital audio input to the source, even if you also connected the analog audio outputs of the source to the receiver.

Figure 6

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 ÛG on the front panel or the remote while the full-OSD is not in use. Within five seconds, make your input selec- tion using the Selector buttons on the front panel 7 or the /¤ D Buttons on the remote until the desired digital or analog input is shown in the Main Information Display

Òand in the lower third of the video display connected to the AVR. Press the Set Button F to enter the new input assignment.

Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box or HDTV set-top may change between ana- log and digital outputs, depending on which channel is in use. The AVR’s Auto Polling feature allows you to avoid losing the audio feed when this happens by permitting both analog and dig- ital connections to the same source on the AVR. Digital audio is the default, and the unit will automatically switch to the analog audio if the digital audio stream stops.

Figure 7

In cases where only a digital source is used, you may wish to disable the Auto Polling feature to prevent the AVR from trying to “find” an analog source when the digital source is paused. To turn Auto Polling off for any input, first make certain that the Auto Poll line is highlighted in blue, and press the Set Button F on the menu screen. Next, press the /Navigation Button

Eso that OFF is highlighted in blue text. Repeat the procedure at any time by highlighting O N to restore the Auto Polling feature.

The remaining lines in the Input Setup menu allows you to configure the tone controls. If you do not wish to change any of those settings at this time, proceed to the next menu screen.
