Setting up

Using the On Screen Display (OSD)

The easiest way to set up the AVR200’s multi-channel audio and video options is through its On Screen Display (OSD).

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 AVR200.

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 AVR200 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.

Setup page

The Setup page forms the index to the OSD. To navigate from here, use the cursor pad on your remote control.

8

Allows centre-channel sounds to be positioned between the centre speaker and the left/right speakers over a range of eight steps. Step ‘3’ uses a combination of all three front speakers to give the best vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage and is recommended for most recordings. Step ‘0’ places all centre sound in the centre speaker. Step ‘7’ places all centre sound equally in the left/right speakers, as in conventional stereo.
