16 16 INTRODUCTION TO HOME THEA TER The A VR 247 may be the first multichannel surround sound receiver you have owned. Although it has more connections and features than 2-channel receivers , many of the principles are similar and the new concepts are easy to understand.
17 17 CONNECTIONS There are different types of audio and video connections used to connect the receiver to the speakers and video display , and to connect the source devices to the receiver . T o make it easier to keep them all straight, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA ® ) has established a color -coding standard.
18 18 CONNECTIONS Audio Connections There are two formats for audio connections: digital and analog . Digital audio signals are of higher quality , and are required for listening to sources encoded with digital surround modes , such as Dolby Digital and DTS .
19 19 Analog Audio Analog connections require two cables , one for the left channel (white) and one for the right channel (red). These two cables are often attached to each other for most of their length.
20 20 CONNECTIONS plug on an S-video cable contains four metal pins , plus a plastic guide pin. Be careful to line up the plug correctly when you insert it into the jack on the receiver , source or video display .
21 SPEAKER PLACEMENT Before you begin to connect cables , it is important to place your speakers in their correct locations in the room. Optimally , the speakers should be placed in a circle with the listening position at its center . The distance from the listening position to the video display forms the radius of the circle .
22 SPEAKER PLACEMENT Left Speaker Output. Y ou will then need to follow the directions in the Advanced Features section for manual setup of the sur- round back speaker . Subwoofer Placement The subwoofer’s location is less critical, since low-frequency sounds are omnidirectional.
23 INST ALLA TION Y ou are now ready to connect your various components to your receiver . Before beginning , make sure that all components , including the A VR 247, are turned completely off and their power cords are unplugged. Don’t plug any of the power cords back in until you ha ve finished making all of your connections.
24 INST ALLA TION For each video source , select one type of video connection. HDMI video is preferred, but both your source device and your video display must have this type of video capability . If either device does not, then use component video , S-video or composite video .
25 INST ALLA TION W e recommend connecting your various sources using the connections shown in T able 2 in order to simplify programming your receiver and remote control.
26 INST ALLA TION Figure 23 – Video 4 A / V and Digital Audio Inputs NOTE: The Video 4 Input Selector on the remote may only be programmed to operate a television or video display .
27 INST ALLA TION Remember to connect the output jacks on your recorder to the T ape or digital audio input jacks on the A VR, and the input jacks on your recorder to the T ape or digital audio output jacks on the A VR. No video connections are needed.
out so that the word OFF appears on its top . Gently press the button to turn the switch off . This will prevent the possibility of damaging the A VR in case of a transient power surge . Step Seven – Insert Batteries in Remote The A VR 247 remote control uses three AAA batteries , which are included.
29 INST ALLA TION 4. Enter a code from Step 1 , above . a) If the device turns off , then press the Input Selector again to accept the code; it will flash. The remote will exit the Program mode . b) If the device does not turn off , try entering another code .
30 INST ALLA TION requirements of all applicable state and local building codes , as well as NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements . Check with your local authorities as needed to ensure that all wiring inside walls is installed in compliance with the proper standards .
31 INITIAL SETUP Before you begin enjoying your new receiver , a few adjustments should be made to configure the A VR 247 to match your actual system. Make sure that you have connected a video display to one of the video monitor outputs on the receiver .
32 INITIAL SETUP Configure the AVR 247 Using EzSet/EQ One of the most important and perhaps often overlooked aspects of setting up a home theater system is to calibrate the receiver to match the loudspeakers , which enables the A VR to perform at its best.
33 INITIAL SETUP Figure 50 – EzSet/EQ: W arning to Plug in Microphone NOTE: As shown in Figures 48, 49, and 51– 54, while EzSet/EQ is in progress a Cancel setting is available or even highlighted. Y ou may interrupt EzSet/EQ at any time by selecting the Cancel setting and pressing the Set Button.
34 INITIAL SETUP Figure 53 – EzSet/EQ: Speaker Size/Crossover T est At the same time the overall size of the speaker’s frequency range is measured, the A VR will measure the crossover , which is t.
35 INITIAL SETUP TITLE: Y ou may change the display name for any source . Not only does this enable you to customize your system; it helps you to select the correct source device even when you have forgotten which physical connections were used. Move the cursor down to the TITLE line and press the Set Button.
36 INITIAL SETUP If you used a digital audio connection for another source , change this setting to assign the correct digital audio input to the source , even if you also connected the analog audio outputs of the source to the receiver .
37 OPERA TION Now that you have installed your system components and completed at least a basic configuration of your receiver , you are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system. T urning On the AVR 247 Gently press the Master Power Switch until the word OFF is no longer visi- ble .
38 OPERA TION T o restore nor mal audio , either press the Mute Button again, or adjust the volume . T urning off the A VR will also end muting . Figure 63 – Mute Button T one Controls Y ou may boost or cut either the treble or the bass frequencies by up to 10dB .
39 OPERA TION The source name will appear in the upper line of the front-panel display . If you retitled the source , only the new title will appear . Otherwise , the audio input assigned to the source (analog or one of the digital audio inputs) will also appear .
40 OPERA TION If you need to use composite or S-video for your multichannel player , e .g., if your video display does not have component video inputs , then use the video inputs for another source .
41 OPERA TION 2. After you have programmed Preset stations (see below), either enter the Preset number (1 through 30) using the remote or use the Preset Stations Buttons (front panel or remote) to scroll through the list of presets .
42 OPERA TION channel number and preset location. Press the T uning Mode Button repeatedly to display the category , current artist or song title . For traffic and weather channels , the current city’s name will appear instead of the channel name , and pressing the T uning Mode Button repeatedly will display the local weather and temperature .
43 OPERA TION SETTINGS: This line accesses the Settings menu, shown in Figure 76. The items in this menu enable you to use the Shuffle and Repeat functions on the iPod.
44 OPERA TION • The MP4 and H.264 video formats often used for videos to be played on the iPod are intended for optimal performance on the iPod’ s small screen. Playback on larger displays may have different results . Selecting a Surround Mode Surround mode selection can be as simple or sophisticated as your individual system and tastes .
45 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS Much of the A VR 247’s performance is handled automatically , with little intervention required on your part. However , the A VR 247 is a sophisti- cated component, and is capable of being customized to suit your particular system and your tastes .
