Advanced Setup—Continued

a. Maximum Volume

With this preference, you can prevent the volume being set too high by specifying a maximum volume level. The range is from 50 to 99. To specify no maximum vol- ume, select Off.

b. Power On Volume

With this preference, you can specify the volume setting to be used each time the AV receiver is turned on.

The range is MIN, 1 through 50. To use the same volume level that was used when the AV receiver was turned off, select Last.

c. Immediate Display

This preference determines whether or not actions, such as selecting an input source, are displayed onscreen. Normal: Select if your TV is 4:3.

Wide: Select if your TV is 16:9. Off: Actions not displayed.

Even if this preference is set to Normal or Wide, actions are not displayed on the TV or projector that’s connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.

d. Scan Mode

If the text in onscreen setup menus ﬂickers due to com- patibility with the connected display device (TV, projec- tor, etc.), set the Scan Mode to Non-Interlaced.

Interlaced:Default.

Non-Interlaced:Select if the text ﬂickers.

•Depending on the display device, when Non-Inter- laced is selected, the onscreen setup menus may not appear. If this happens, use the AV receiver’s display and repeat the procedure to revert to Interlaced.

e. Remote ID

With this setting, you can change the AV Receiver’s remote control ID. You may need to change this if the remote controller’s control codes overlap with those of another Onkyo component located in the same room.

•If you change the AV receiver’s remote control ID, be sure to set the same ID on both the AV receiver and remote controller (see page 73). The default ID for both is 1.

f. IR IN Position

When using a commercially available IR receiver, use this setting to specify its location.

Main: Select if the IR receiver is located in the main room.

Zone 2: Select if the IR receiver is located in, and will be used to control Zone 2.

Digital Input Signal Formats

The digital input signal formats are available only for the input sources that you have assigned a digital input jack; otherwise you will see “Analog” indicated on the screen (see page 42).

Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format auto- matically. However, if you experience either of the fol- lowing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS:

•If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM.

•If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.
