12 INST ALLATION AND CONNECTIONS After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need to mak e the connections to your audio and video equipment.
INST ALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 13 Installation and Connections 9. If you have a camcorder , video game or other audio/video device that is connected to the A VR on a temporary , rather than permanent basis , connect the audio , video and digital audio out- puts of that device to the Front P anel Inputs *ÓÔ .

INST ALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 15 Installation and Connections Speaker Selection No matter which type or brand of speak ers is used, the same model or brand of speak er should be used for the front-left, center and front-right speak ers.
16 SY STEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration Once the speak ers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps are to pro- gram the system configur ation memories. With the A VR two kind of memories are used, those associated individually with the input selected, e .
SY STEM CONFIGURATION 17 However , we recommend that the first time you use the A VR, you tak e advantage of the simplicity of configuring the system using the EzSet+ process , which tak es the guessw.
18 SY STEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration Some digital video input sources , such as a cable box or HDTV set-top may change between ana- log and digital outputs , depending on which channel is in use .
SY STEM CONFIGURATION 19 T o select the mode that will be used as the initial default for an input, first press the ⁄ / ¤ buttons D until the on-screen cursor is next to the desired mode’ s master category name . Next, press the Set Button F to view the sub-menu.
20 SY STEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration When a DTS source is playing, the choice of modes for 7.1 systems will vary according to the type of program source (DTS Stereo , DTS 5.1, DTS-ES Matrix or DTS-ES Discrete). Press the ‹ / › Buttons E to scroll through the choices that are available for your system and the pro- gram in use .
SY STEM CONFIGURATION 21 System Configuration need for manual adjustment of speak er “size”, crossover , delay and output level settings . With EzSet+ your new receiver even alerts you to errors in speak er connections that prevent a speak er from functioning.
22 SY STEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration NO TE: While this test detects whether a speak er is connected to a particular output, it cannot determine whether the speak er is in the correct position.
SY STEM CONFIGURATION 23 System Configuration T he first line of the MANUAL SETUP menu indicates whether EzSet+ has been run and its settings saved. If this line indicates YES , then you will be able to see the settings determined by EzSet+ as you view the SPEAKER SIZE , SPEAKER X - OVER , DELAY ADJUST and CHANNEL ADJUST submenus .
24 SY STEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration NO TE: When the front speakers are set to the LARGE option and the surround mode is set to "Surround Off", or pure two-channel stereo , when an analog signal source is present it will be routed directly from the input to the volume control without being digitized or processed.
SY STEM CONFIGURATION 25 System Configuration subwoofer will receive the front left and right bass frequencies under the crossover frequency selected in another setting on this menu, as described below , and also the LFE soundtr ack.
26 SY STEM CONFIGURATION Delay Settings Due the different distances between the listening position for the front channel speak ers and the surround speak ers, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or surround speak ers is different.
SY STEM CONFIGURATION 27 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.
28 SY STEM CONFIGURATION NO TE: Remember that when your system has only a single Surround Back speak er and is thus configured for 6.1-channel operation, you will hear the test tone twice from the back speak er , once with the SBL indication and once with the SBR indication.
SY STEM CONFIGURATION 29 Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made , the A VR is ready for operation. While there are some additional settings to be made , these are best done after you have had an opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and different kinds of program material.
30 OPERA TION Operation Surround Mode Chart MODE FEA TURES DOLBY DIGIT AL Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low F requency Effects channel.
OPERA TION 31 Operation Surround Mode Chart MODE FEA TURES DTS Neo:6 Cinema T hese two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a six-channel DTS Neo:6 Music surround presentation from conventional Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources .
32 OPERA TION Operation Basic Operation Once you have completed the setup and configu- ration of the A VR, it is simple to operate and enjoy . T he following instructions should be followed for you to.
OPERA TION 33 Operation • T o set the output of the A VR so that the output is “flat, ” with the tone and balance controls de- activated, press the T one Mode button 8 once or twice so that the words Tone Off appear momentarily in the Main Information Display Ò .
34 OPERA TION Operation DTS DTS is another digital audio system that is capa- ble of delivering 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 audio . Although both DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they use different methods of encoding the signals , and thus they require different decoding circuits to convert the digital signals back to analog.
OPERA TION 35 Operation An UNLOCK message may appear in the Lower Display Line Ò . This is your indication that the digital audio data stream has been inter- rupted or is no longer present. When that occurs, the unit’ s digital signal processor has no signal to lock onto , and is thus “unlocked.
36 OPERA TION Operation back speak ers may light (when those speakers have been configured) to indicate that a signal will be fed to them (Matrix decoded with NEO:6, LOGIC 7 or 7 CH Stereo), but no letters inside will light as the unit will not receive an input sig- nal for the surround back channels .
OPERA TION 37 Advanced Featur es Operation Once the reference level has been set, press the Channel Select button C Ù and note that FRONT L LEVEL will appear in the Main Information Display Ò . To change the level, first press the Set button F @ , and then use the Selector buttons 7 or the ⁄ / ¤ buttons D to raise or lower the level.
38 INTRODUCTION / ADV ANCED FEATURES T urn On V olume Level As is the case with most audio/video receivers , when the A VR is turned on, it will alw ays return to the volume setting in effect when the unit was turned off .
TUNER OPERA TION 39 T uner Operation Default Surround Mode In normal operation, when the AVR senses a Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it will automatically switch the appropriate default surround mode , with the A VR responding to the data flags that are encoded on the DVD disc or in the digital video broadcast.
