Video Inputs, Video Outputs, Mode, E-38, For Stereo sources

Video Inputs

Settings to optionally assign a video source to each of the normally audio-only inputs.

These settings are stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

Video Input CD –

Video Input Aux –

Video Input AM / FM –

Video Input MCH –

Video Input iPod –

Video Input Net –

Video In Digital Radio –

The default for each of the audio inputs is ‘None’, however for example you could associate the satellite ‘Sat’ video with AM, FM and Digital Radio audio if you wished. This way you could listen to the FM or AM or Digital Radio commentary of a sports game but have the pictures from the satellite coverage.

Video Outputs

The settings in this menu control the output resolution from the video processor in the AVR400. These settings are applied to all video inputs and are stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

NOTE

Important points to remember:

For the analogue output

You should set the frame rate (50Hz Interlaced for PAL, 60Hz Interlaced for NTSC) and the aspect ratio (4:3 standard or 16:9 widescreen) to match your display device.

For the HDMI output

The output resolution, frame rate and display aspect ratio can be automatically determined by the AVR400. Alternatively these settings can be manually selected.

Zone 1 OSD – Selects whether the main zone pop-up OSD messages are On or Off. It is stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

<When On, all user adjustments that are made during the general use of the AVR400 are displayed on screen as well as the front panel display. This includes the adjustment of volume, subwoofer level, lip sync, tone controls, etc. It is stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

<When Off, the above user adjustments will not appear on screen, only on the front panel display. This leaves the picture on your display device clear of pop-up text. However, regardless of this setting the Setup menus are always displayed on screen.

Zone 2 OSD – Selects whether the Zone 2 pop-up OSD messages are On or Off. It is stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

Analogue Output – This setting controls the output resolution of the analogue video output of Zone 1. The dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the AVR400 video processor can output.

Analogue Frame Rate – This setting controls the output frame rate of the analogue video outputs of Zone 1. This setting is only valid if the HDMI output is not being used at the time. See the Note ‘Important points to remember’ regarding analogue frame rates.

Display Type – Set the aspect ratio of your display device; 4:3 standard or 16:9 widescreen.

HDMI Output Resolution – This setting controls the output resolution of the HDMI output.

<The dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the AVR400 video processor can output. Resolutions that are not supported by the connected display device are greyed out and cannot be selected.

<Preferred: sets the output resolution to be the preferred resolution that is requested by the display device. This is often the highest resolution the display device can receive.

<Bypass: this is a special mode where video passes straight through the AVR400 without alteration. Use this mode to watch 3D content on a 3D television. This mode also allows the AVR400 to output video with a 23.976Hz frame rate. The output resolution and frame rate will be identical to the input resolution and frame rate. The display must be capable of supporting the input resolution and frame rate — if the input video format is not supported by the display there will be no picture.

Output Frame Rate – This setting controls the output frame rate of the HDMI output.

<The dropdown list shows all the frame rates that the AVR400 video processor can output. Frame rates that are not supported by the connected display device at the above resolution are greyed out and cannot be selected.

<Auto sets the HDMI OuT frame rate to be the preferred frame rate that is requested by the display device for the currently used resolution.

<Follow input sets the HDMI OuT frame rate to be the same as the input frame rate. Use this setting if you regularly switch between 24Hz and 50/60Hz content and have a 24p compatible TV.

Lipsync – (Information only) Displays how much lip sync is automatically applied to the HDMI output to compensate for video processing delays in the attached display device. Not all display devices support this function.

Mode

Lists the decode and downmix options you wish to include when cycling through the options on the MODE button. Settings are Yes or No. The list is divided into two sections depending on the source audio type.

See section “decoding modes” on page E-40 for more information on each processing and decoding mode.

These settings are applied to all audio inputs and are stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

For Stereo sources:

Dolby ProLogic –

Dolby PLIIx Movie –

Dolby PLIIx Music –

Dolby PLIIx Game –

Neo:6 Cinema –

Neo:6 Music –

The first section, ‘Stereo sources’ is the list of processing modes you wish to make available for stereo signals (analogue stereo, digital PCM stereo, Dolby 2.0, DTS 2.0, etc). When a stereo signal is applied, each press of the MODE button cycles through the processing modes you have enabled in the ‘Stereo sources’ section. The unprocessed Stereo option is always available for stereo signals therefore it is not shown in the list.

For Multi-channel sources:

Stereo Downmix –

Dolby Digital EX –
