System Setup

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the final step in the setup process is to enter the settings that configure the AVR65’s bass management system for the type of speakers used in your system, the calibration of the output levels and the delay times used by the sur- round sound processor. Before proceeding further, this is a good time to review the installation section of the manual to make certain that all connections are properly made.

You are now ready to power up the AVR65 to begin these final adjustments.

1.Plug the Power Cable Þto an unswitched AC outlet.

2.Press the Main Power Switch 1 in so that it latches in with the “OFF” wording on the top of the switch inside the front panel. Note that the

Power Indicator 3 will turn amber, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.

3.Install the four supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to observe the (+) and (–) polarity indicators shown in the bottom of the battery compartment.

4.Turn the AVR65 on either by pressing the System Power Control 2on the front panel, or via the remote by first pressing the AVR Selector a, and then pressing the Power button

c. The Power Indicator 3will

turn green to confirm that the unit is on, and the Information Display ý will also light up.

Using the On-Screen Display

While configuring the AVR65 so that it is properly matched to the specific speakers in your system, as well as when setting other system parameters, you may find it helpful to take advantage of the unit’s on-screen display system. These easy-to- read displays give you a clear picture of the current status of the unit, and make it easy to see which speaker, delay, input or digital selection you are making.

To view the on-screen displays, make cer- tain you have made a connection from the TV Monitor Video Out jack à on the rear panel to the video input of your TV, projector or display device. In order to view the displays, the video source must be selected as described in the instructions for the video display.

NOTE: The AVR65’s on-screen displays may only be viewed when the standard, composite video output is in use. The dis- plays are NOT visible when the S-Video signal is displayed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the displays on a projection TV it is important that they not be left on the screen for an extended period of time. As with any video display, but particularly with projectors, constant display of a static image such as these menus or video game images may cause the image to be perma- nently “burned in” to the CRT. This type of damage is not covered by the AVR65

warranty, and may not be covered by the projector TV set’s warranty. Please consult the owner’s manual for your video display for specific information about image burn-in.

The AVR65 has two on-screen display modes, “semi-OSD” and “full-OSD”. When making configuration adjust- ments, it is recommended that the full- OSD mode be used. This will place a complete status report or option listing on the screen, making it easier to view the available options.

To view the full-OSD screens, press the OSD button othree times. The first press will bring up the semi-OSD mode and the second press will turn that mode off. The third press will call up the full- OSD display (Figure 1).

The display will appear any time a change is made to the settings or fea- tures, and it will automatically follow the command pattern of remote or front panel instruction. It is not necessary to use any other navigation buttons to use the AVR65’s On-Screen Display system.

Note that the full screen displays will time-out after 30 seconds. However, the on-screen display used with the channel output level adjustments will remain on the screen as long as the settings are being changed. This display must be manually turned of by pressing the OSD button o.
