Setting up
Using the On Screen Display (OSD)
The easiest way to set up the AVR100’s
To enter the OSD, ensure that you have a TV connected and press any of the arrows on the remote control’s cursor pad.
To navigate from the first (i.e. Setup) page, use the • and • arrows to highlight a line. To enter a highlighted page, press OK. To leave the OSD, highlight ‘EXIT’ and press OK.
Once on a page, use the • and • arrows to move to a line and the • and • arrows to change an option. Once you are happy with the settings, highlight ‘SAVE AND EXIT’ and press OK to keep them in memory. If you are unsure about the changes, or you have entered the page accidentally, highlight ‘DO NOT SAVE AND EXIT’ and press OK and any changes on that page are ignored.
NOTE: In some cases you may find that the OSD is not still or that it ‘rolls over’ your screen. (You may also notice this effect when the volume bar is shown on screen.) If this is the case, you will need to switch the video system being used by the AVR100.
To do this, first exit the OSD by highlighting EXIT and press OK. Press and hold the STORE button on the front panel of the AVR100 then toggle between the systems shown in the display area by pressing the SAT button – NTSC (used in North America) or PAL (used in most of Europe) – until the correct system is selected.

Channel balance page
From the Channel balance page, you can trim the level of each individual loudspeaker connected to the AVR100. Due to the different performance characteristics or positioning of each loudspeaker they may need to be set to different levels to provide a balanced sound from the listening position. To help set this balance the AVR100 can generate a test tone that plays an identical signal through each channel in turn.
Once the channel balance page is shown in the OSD, press the TEST button on the remote control to start the test tone. Make sure that the volume on the AVR100 is set sufficiently high for this to be heard. The test tone automatically cycles through each speaker channel until the TEST button is pressed a second time.
Each loudspeaker can be trimmed between +10dB and
You can return to the Channel balance page at any time (without first entering the OSD) by pressing the TEST button on the remote control. Press TEST again to exit this page.

NOTE: The test tone generates a noise which may not be heard through a subwoofer. To set your sub to a suitable level, turn off the test tone and experiment with the trim while playing a piece of music you are familiar with. There is no right or wrong level for the sub: simply find the balance that is best for you.
