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.
Set-up mode
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.
Set-up Menu Index
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.
Navigating the Set-up menu
... BY USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
The Set-up menu can be navigated by using the cursor (arrow) keys on the remote control. This is by far the easiest method.
1.To enter the Set-up menu, press and hold the MENU button (which is located immediately under the navigation buttons) for at least two seconds, until the Index page appears. (Pressing the menu button for just a short time will take
you to ‘Main Menu Screen 1’. If this happens, the Main Menu can be closed by pressing MENU for a second time.)
2.When the menu heading is highlighted, using the3and4 keys will navigate between menu
| | | pages. Using this method to navigate between pages the first time the unit is being configured |
| OK | | will help to ensure that no pages are missed out. |
| 3. | Use the 5 and 6 keys to navigate up and down the menu lines. |
| |
| | 4. | To change the setting for a particular menu item, highlight the item then use the34keys to |
| | MENU | cycle through the options for that item. |
5.Once you have set all the menu items on a page to have values that are appropriate for your system, move the menu highlight to the top of the screen (the menu heading) and press4 to move to the next menu page.
6.At any time, press the MENU button to return to the main Set-up menu index screen.
7.To save the changes you have made, return to the Set-up menu index page and highlight the ‘Save Set-up’ item at the bottom of the screen. Press the OK button to save the settings. Press OK again to exit the Set-up menu.
In addition to the above method of moving from page to page using the 34 keys, each menu page can be accessed directly from the Set-up menu index page. This is achieved by using the cursor keys to move the menu highlight to the desired page on the Index page, then pressing OK.
... BY USING THE BUTTONS ON THE FRONT PANEL OF THE AVR250
The AVR250 front panel controls can be used to configure the options. Follow the instructions given for using the remote control, in this case using the EFFECT/6 button for ‘down’, the MODE/5 button for ‘up’ and the volume control for left and right.
