Before using the unit, you will probably want to change the settings for most inputs so that they are properly config- ured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs, the type of speakers installed and the surround mode specifics of your home theater system. Remember that since the AVR580 memorizes the settings for each input individually, 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 easy as possible, we suggest that you use the
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR580 is to configure each input. Once an input is selected, all settings for the Digital Input, Speaker Configuration, Surround Mode and Delay Timing will “attach” them- selves to that input and be stored in a nonvolatile memory. This means that once made, the selection of an input will automatically recall those settings. For that reason, the procedures described below must be repeated for each input source so that you have the opportunity to customize each source to your specific listening requirements. However, once made, they need not be changed again unless you need to alter a setting.

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with the selected input source, press the ¤ Button n on the remote while the INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and the on- screen cursor will drop down to the DIGITAL IN line. Press the ‹/› Buttons o 37 until the name of the desired digital input appears. To return to the analog input, press the buttons until the word ANALOG appears. When the correct input source appears, press the
¤Button n once so that the › cursor appears next to BACK TO MASTER MENU, and press the Set Button p.

When all needed adjustments have been made, press the ¤ Button n until the › cursor is next to BACK TO MASTER MENU to continue with the system configuration.
Surround Setup
The next step is to set the surround mode you wish to use with the input that was previously selected in the INPUT SETUP menu. Since surround modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free
to select any mode you wish – you may change it later. However, to make it easier to establish the initial parameters for the AVR580, it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most analog inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs con- nected to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo (“Surround Off”) as they are not typically used with multichannel program material, and it is unlikely that surround- encoded material will be used. Alter- natively, the Logic 7 Music mode is a good choice for
When selecting surround modes for digi- tal program material, the AVR580 will always examine the data stream and automatically select Dolby Digital or DTS as applicable.
It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the

Each of the option lines on this menu (Figure 3) selects the surround mode cat- egory, and within each of those cate- gories there will be a choice of the specific mode options. The choice of modes will vary according to the speaker configuration in your system. When the SURR BACK line of the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5) is set to NONE the AVR580 will be configured for
