Configuring the AVR250

The AVR250 ‘Set-up Menu’ has six ‘Basic’ and five ‘Advanced’ menu screens that take you through the configuration process. The ‘Basic’ menus enable you to match your AVR250 to your speakers; the ‘Advanced’ menus allow you to optimise the operation of your system. Screen shots of these menus are shown in shaded boxes on the following pages.

The best way to set up the AVR250 is using the on-screen display (OSD). To view the OSD for the initial set up, use the composite video output to connect to your TV. This is because the high quality video output has several display modes and may be incompatible with your high quality display device in its default configuration.

To enter the Set-up menus press and hold the MENU button on the remote control or on the front panel, for at least two seconds. The ‘Set-up Menu Index’ is displayed on your display device.

The Set-up menu index page is the first page that is displayed when the Set-up menu is entered. This page allows you access to the six ‘Basic’ and five ‘Advanced’ menus.
