Auto Stereo Tone Bypass: Yes

Allows advanced adjustment of all the speakers for bass and treble management in 1dB steps up to ±6dB. The tone control nominal corner frequencies are at 100Hz and 8kHz, shelf type. Use these adjustments sparingly to compensate for speaker response problems caused by positioning, adjacent surface textures, or mixed brands of loudspeakers.

Work with one speaker on at a time, and as an example, use the bass control to reduce boom problems for speakers placed in corners, and the treble control for speakers placed near reflective surfaces.

We recommend trying to obtain a good speaker response by speaker placement first, then apply speaker eq. last.

Auto Stereo Tone Bypass: Set to Yes if you wish to automatically have any tone adjustments made in ‘Main Menu Screen 1’ by-passed in analogue or digital mode.

NOTE:This does not switch the AV8 into Direct mode, only sets the tone controls to zero.

source at the same time – for example, you can listen to radio while watching TV for a sports simulcast.

Audio andVideo: Applies to the audio and video assignments set up in the ‘Main Menu Screen 1’.

If set to Separate, then audio and video signals for video sources can be separately assigned (e.g., DVD sound with video from a satellite receiver). Once assigned separate, audio and video remain separate.

If set to Tracked, audio and video signals are linked together (e.g., DVD audio and video). This setting is recommended for simplicity. In this mode, audio and video sources can still be separated temporarily by using ‘Main Menu Screen 1’.

HQ Vid 1, 2 and 3: Allocates the high quality component or RGB video inputs to any source buttons. For example, to use the component or RGB output on a DVD player with HQ Vid 1 input, select DVD in the menu.

ADV 3 – DIGITAL SETTINGS

Adv 3	-	Digital Settings
Coaxial		Inputs
DVD	input:		DVD button
AV input:			AV button
Tape input:			Tape button
Tuner		input:	Tuner button
CD input:			CD button
Optical		Inputs
VCR	input:		VCR button
Sat	input:		Sat button

Coaxial inputs and Optical inputs. Each of the digital inputs can be assigned to any of the eight stereo source buttons (AUX, CD, TUNER, TAPE, DVD, SAT, AV and VCR), or can be assigned No button.

The OSD menu lists the physical inputs, as per the back panel, on the left hand side of the screen, and the buttons used to select the inputs are listed on the right hand side.

Each digital input can only be allocated to one source button. For example, if you choose the ‘Coaxial DVD input’ to be assigned to the DVD button, then the choices for the other digital inputs are: Aux, CD, Tuner, Tape, Sat, AV, VCR and No button. If you wish to re-allocate the DVD input to a button that is already assigned to the ‘AV input’ (for example),‘AV input’ must be assigned to a different button (or No button) before you can re-assign this new button to ‘DVD input’.

This menu allows advanced adjustment of the video settings for your AV8.

OSD: Selects whether the main zone OSD is on or off.

When set to On‚ all user adjustments that are made during the general use of the AV8 are displayed on the screen.This includes the adjustment of the volume control, the inputs selected and the setup menus.

When set to Off‚ you will have no displays of the general user adjustments – only the setup menus and the main menus are displayed.

It is recommended you keep the OSD turned On‚ since if you cannot see the front panel of the AV8 you will have no idea if any adjustments you have made to the processor are correct or to your liking.

Video Inputs: Composite and S-video inputs for DVD, Sat, AV, VCR and Tape have, by default, their audio and video assigned to track each other.The four Video Input lines for Aux, CD,Tuner and DVD-A allow you to assign a video source to these normally audio-only sources.You can allocate the same video source to more than one audio input.This facility allows you to listen to an audio source and view a separate video
