NOTES:

•The on-screen display signals are not output from the color difference (component) video signal (MONITOR OUT) jacks.

•The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-3802’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-3802 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 28.)

•The AVR-3802’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions.

•The setup menu is not displayed when “HEADPHONE ONLY” is selected.

•Speaker system layout Basic system layout

• The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of eight speaker systems and a television monitor:

Subwoofer

Center speaker system

Surround back speaker systems

Front speaker systems

 

Set these at the sides of the TV or screen with

 

their front surfaces as flush with the front of the

Surround speaker systems

screen as possible.

 

With the AVR-3802 it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the best layout for a variety of sources and surround modes.
