3.SETUP MENU

For optimum performance and enjoyment, your AVM 50 should be properly set up. This may appear like a lot of work, however, most settings do not need to be changed from the factory defaults.

The most important things are entering information about your display (menu 1) and speakers (menu 3) if the defaults do not apply, the distance from each speaker to the listening area (menu 4), balancing output levels to one another (menu 5), and input connections (menu 6). The rest is preference – the surround mode presets in menu 7, for example, should be set up after you have played a variety of source material and have decided which surround modes you like best.

For proper audio balance, menus that involve test signals must be set up in the order that they appear. Illustrations throughout this section show the On-Screen display menus in that order. For ease of viewing, use of the On-Screen display is recommended, although the Front Panel display shows similar information.

Alternatively, most of the setup can be done on your personal computer through RS-232 connection and a program from our web site, called Setup Editor. This can also save your configuration as a backup file. Setup Editor cannot play test signals – calibration still has to be done through the Setup Menu.

HOW TO ENTER THE SETUP MENU

The Setup Menu can be accessed from either MAIN or ZONE2. The On-Screen display shows only in that Path (MAIN – any output except Composite, ZONE2 – S-Video only). Test signals only play from MAIN.
