System Configuration
The factory default setting is to have the sub- woofer turned off for this mode, but you may change that setting by following these steps:
1. Press the Speaker Button 6 | . |
2.Press the Set Button F@to activate the configuration menu.
3.Press the ⁄/¤ Buttons Don the remote or the ‹/› Buttons 7on the front panel to select the desired option. SUB NONE turns off the feed to the subwoofer, while SUB <L+R> turns it on.
4.When the desired setting has been entered, press the Set Button F@to return to nor- mal operation.
Stereo-Digital Mode
When the Stereo-Direct (Bypass) mode is in use a full range signal is always sent to the front left/right speakers. By its nature, that option does not pass the signal through the AVR’s digi- tal signal processing, creating the requirement for full-range speakers. If your front speakers are bandwidth limited, “satellite”speakers, we rec- ommend that you do NOT use the Bypass mode, but rather use the DSP SURROUND OFF mode for stereo listening.
To listen to programs in the two-channel stereo mode while taking advantage of the bass man- agement system, press the Stereo Mode
Selector until SURROUND OFF appears in the Main Information Display ˜ and the DSP and SURR. OFF Surround Mode Indicators (both light up. When only the SURR. OFF Surround Mode
Indicators (is lit you are in the Stereo-Direct (Bypass) mode.
When this mode is in use, the front left/right speakers and subwoofer may be configured to meet the requirements of your specific speakers using the steps shown in the Speaker Setup sec- tion on page 17.
Delay Settings
Due the different distances between the listen- ing position for the front channel speakers and the surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or surround speakers is different. You may com- pensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the specific speaker placement and acoustic condi- tions in your listening room or home theater.
To re-synchronize the front, center and surround channels at first measure and note the distance from the listening/viewing position to the front, center, surround and surround back (if any) speakers in meters.
22SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individual speaker position, the AVR is among the few A/V receivers that allows you to adjust the delay for the combined output of all speak- ers as a group. This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it allows you to compensate for delays to the video image that may be caused by the pro- cessing in products such as digital video dis- plays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite sys- tems, or personal video recorders. With proper adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital video applications.
The Delay setting for all speakers configured for your system will be available only (with 5.1 or with 6.1/7.1 configuration) when any Dolby sur- round mode is selected (except Dolby-3-Stereo). In addition they are selectable with these modes only, with all other modes the delay times are fixed.
Note that the Delay settings are "Global" for all inputs, using those Dolby modes, and need not to be repeated with any input.
To start with the delay settings at first select any input associated with such a Dolby mode. Next, continue within the MASTER MENU (Figure 1). If the system is not already at that point, press the OSD button Lto bring up the mas- ter menu. Press the ¤ Button Dthree times or until the on-screen➞ cursor is pointing at the DELAYADJUST line. Press the Set Button
Fto call up the menu.

Next move the ➞ cursor to the UNIT line and select the unit for distances you prefer to enter, feet or meter. Then move the ➞ cursor to the FL line where the first adjustment is made. Now press the ‹/ › Buttons E until the distance from the front left speaker to the pre- ferred listening position is entered. Next press the ¤ Button Donce to move to the next line.
Now the ➞ cursor will be at the CEN line so that the delay for the center speaker may be set. Press the ‹/ › Buttons E until the dis- tance from the main listening position to the center speaker is entered. Repeat the procedure for all active speaker positions by pressing the
¤Button Dagain and use the ‹/ › Buttons E to change the setting. Remember that this last adjustment will only be needed when you have surround back speakers
installed and Dolby Digital chosen as the sur- round mode.
When the delay time for all speaker positions has been set you may return to the master menu by pressing the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D until the ➞ cursor is pointing to BACK TO MASTER MENU and then pressing the Set Button F. However, if you have a digital video source or a digital video display that caus- es lack of lip sync you may use the A/V Sync adjust feature to delay the audio signal as it is sent to all channels (as opposed to the individ- ual settings) so that the picture and sound are brought back together. We recommend that this adjustment be made using the direct access con- trols on the remote, as shown below. That enables you to see the image while making the adjustment; however, you may also adjust it here using the menu system.
To adjust the A/V Sync delay, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Dso that the ➞ cursor is pointing to the A/V Sync Delay line on the menu and then press the ‹/ › Navigation Button E to delay the sound sufficiently so that it matches the on-screen video.
The delay settings may be adjusted at any time using the remote control and while viewing an on-screen image by pressing the Delay Select
Button . The A/V Sync Delay setting is first, and it may be adjusted by pressing the Set Button Fwithin five seconds of when the A/V SYNC DELAY message appears in the on-screen display and the Lower Display Line ˜. Then, press the ‹/ › Navigation Button E to enter the desired delay set- ting that brings the video and sound back in sync. Press the Set Button Fagain to enter the setting.
Note that the A/V Sync delay setting is unique to each video input source, so you may enter a dif- ferent setting to compensate for the differences between any product attached to the Video 1, 2, 3 or 4 inputs.
To change one of the individual speaker posi- tions directly, press the Delay Select Button
,followed by the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Dto select the desired position as that name appears in the on-screen display and the Lower Display Line ˜. When the name of the speaker position to be adjusted appears press the Set Button Fwithin five seconds.
Press the ‹/ › Navigation Button E to
enter the desired delay setting for that speaker and then press the Set Button Fto enter the setting. The ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D may be used to select another position, or you may simply wait five seconds for the system to time out and return to normal operation.
