7.Select “Automatic Setup – EzSet/EQ” and then select “Continue.”

8.Select the number of speakers in your system. Select “5.1” if no surround back or front height speakers are present or if you will be using the Assigned Amp channels for multizone operation.

9.The test will begin. Make sure that the room is quiet while the test noise is playing through the speakers.

10.When the test finishes, select “Continue,” then select “View Settings” to see the results of the EzSet/EQ process, or select “Done” to exit.

NOTES:

•• If there are fewer than five main speakers in your system, do not use the EzSet/EQ process. Instead, proceed as described in Manual Speaker Setup, on page 36.

•• If you have selected a 6.1-channel configuration with a single surround back speaker, use EzSet/EQ automatic configuration for 5.1 speakers, connect the single surround back speaker to the left Assigned Amp Speaker Output connector, then configure the surround back speaker manually, as described in Manual Speaker Setup, on page 36.

Set Up Your Sources

The Setup Source menu lets you assign the correct physical audio and video connections to each source and lets you set many audio and video playback features for each source.

IMPORTANT: The “Video Input from Source,” “Audio Input from Source” and “Resolution to Display” settings are not optional and must be adjusted before you use your AVR to enable playback of each source. You can adjust the other settings later. See System Settings, on page 39, for complete information about adjusting all of the Settings menu options.

1.Review the input connections you listed on the Input Connections and Assigned Source Buttons table, on page 18. Note what changes (if any) you want to make from the default source-button connector assignments that appear on the list. (If there are no changes, you can skip this section.)

2.To display the Source Settings menu for the active source, press the Info button on the front panel or remote. Or, from the Main Menu screen, select “Setup Source” and select a source from the slide-in menu. The Settings menu for that source will appear.

Resolution to Display: This setting reflects the video output resolution, which is dependent upon the capabilities of your TV or video display.

•• If you connected your TV to the AVR’s HDMI Monitor Out connector, the two devices will communicate with each other, and the AVR will automatically select the best available video output resolution. In almost all cases, you should leave the resolution set to the AVR’s automatic selection. (You can override this automatic selection if your video display’s native resolution is different from the AVR’s automatic selection.)

•• If you connected your TV to the AVR’s Composite Video Monitor Out connector, you must set the resolution to “480i” (AVR 3650/AVR 2650) or to “576p” (AVR 365/AVR 265) to view any content.

Audio Effects: This submenu allows you to adjust the Dolby Volume and Dolby PLII/ IIx/IIz settings, the bass and treble tone controls, the LFE trim, the Equalization On/Off setting and the MP3 enhancement for each source independently. We suggest leaving this submenu at its default settings and returning to it later if your system requires fine- tuning. See Audio Effects Button, on page 34, for more information.

Video Modes: This submenu allows you to make picture adjustments for each source independently. We suggest leaving the settings at their factory defaults. You should make picture adjustments to your video display first and use this menu only for fine-tuning. See Video Processing, on page 34, for more information.

Surround Modes: This submenu lets you program surround modes for movies, music and games for each source independently. Digital surround signals, such as Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams, are automatically played in their native formats, although you may change the surround mode. See Audio Processing and Surround Sound, on page 33, for more information.

Audio Format from Source: This line is informational only. When a digital program is playing, its format will be identified here. When analog audio programs are playing, this line displays ANALOG.
