SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps are to program the system configu- ration memories. With the AVR480, two kinds of memories are used: those associ- ated individually with the input selected (e.g., surround modes) and others working independently from any input selected, such as speaker output levels, or delay times used by the surround sound processor.
You are now ready to power up the AVR480 to begin these final adjustments.
1. Plug the AC Power Cord into an unswitched AC outlet. Depending on the electrical requirements in your area or the wiring in your home, the power cords included with your AVR may not be the correct ones, and you may need to contact your local JBL distributor
to obtain the correct power cord for your area.
2.Press the Main Power Switch 1 in until it latches and the word “OFF” on the top of the switch disappears inside the front panel. Note that the Power Indicator 3 will turn red, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.
3.Remove the protective plastic film from the
4.Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+) and
5. Turn the AVR480 on either by pressing the System Power Control 2 or the Input Source Selector ! or Tuner Band Selector 9 on the front panel, or via the remote by pressing the AVR Selector 6 or any of the Input Selectors f on the remote. The Power Indicator 3 will turn orange to confirm that the unit is on, and the Main Information Display ( will also light.
Settings to Be Made With Each Input Used
The AVR480 features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different settings for the speaker configuration, digital input and surround mode for each input source. This flexibility enables you to customize the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR480 memorize them. This means, for example, that you may associate different surround modes and analog or digital inputs with different sources, or set different speaker configu- rations with the resultant changes to the bass management system or the use of the center speaker. Once these settings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever you select an input.
The default settings for the AVR480, as it is shipped from the factory, have all inputs set for an analog source (except for the DVD input, which has the Coaxial Digital Input as the default), with stereo as the surround mode, the front left and right speakers set to “large” (when a surround mode is selected, the default settings for the center and sur- round speakers will be ”small“) and a subwoofer connected. Before using the unit, you will probably want to change these settings for most inputs so that they are properly configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs, the type of speakers installed and the surround mode associated with the input. Remember, since the AVR480’s memory system keeps the settings for each input separate from the other inputs, you will need to make these adjustments for each input used. However, once they are made, further adjustment is only required when system components are changed.
To make this process as quick and as easy as possible, we suggest that with each of these settings to be made you step through each input. Once you have com- pleted the settings for the first input, many settings may be duplicated for the remaining inputs.
The items that follow will describe the individual settings required for each input.
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR480 is to select an input. This may be done by pressing the
f.
The second step is to associate one of the digital inputs with the selected input source (if this is needed; otherwise, the selected analog input will remain). Press the Digital Input Select Button *F on the front panel or the remote. Within five seconds, make your input selection using the Selector buttons on the front panel % or the ⁄/¤ Buttons C on the remote until the desired digital or analog input is shown in the Main Information Display K. Then press the Set Button ^E to enter the new digital input assignment.
After the setting has been made with one input, repeat as described above with all inputs in use. The digital input associated with the input selected can also be changed at any time later and the AVR480’s memory system will retain the settings until they are changed again.
