AVR

Set Up the AVR

In this section, you will conﬁgure the AVR to match your actual system’s makeup. Although

it’s possible to conﬁgure the AVR using only the remote and the messages on the AVR’s

front-panel display, it is easier if you use the on-screen menu system.

Turn On the AVR

Press the front-panel Power button.

Using the On-Screen Menu System

To access the menu system, press the OSD/Menu button on the remote. The Master

Menu will appear, and if a video source is playing, the menu will automatically re-size so

the picture will be visible behind the menu.

NOTE:

The actual on-screen menus may differ slightly from the illustrations in this

manual.

The Master Menu system consists of six submenus: Source Select, Source Setup,

Surround Mode, Speaker Setup, Network and System Setup. Use the Up/Down/Left/Right

buttons on the remote or the front panel to navigate the menu system, and press the OK

button to select a menu or setting line, or to enter a new setting.

The current menu, setting line or new setting will appear in the front-panel display, as

well as on screen.

To return to the previous menu or exit the menu system, press the Back/Exit button. Be

certain all settings are correct, as any changes you have made will be retained.

Most users should follow the instructions in this Set Up the AVR section to conﬁgure a

basic home theater system. You may return to these menus at any time to make additional

adjustments, such as those described in the Advanced Functions section, on page 27.

Before beginning the following setup steps, all loudspeakers, a video display and all

source devices should be connected. You should be able to turn on the AVR and view

the Master menu when you press the AVR button. If necessary, reread the Making

Connections and Set Up the Remote sections before continuing.

Configure the AVR for Your Speakers

Your AVR is ﬂexible and may be conﬁgured to work with most speakers and to compensate

for the acoustic characteristics of your room.

Before beginning, place your loudspeakers as explained in the Place Your Speakers

section, on page 10, and connect them to the AVR. Consult the owner’s guide for the

speakers or the manufacturer’s Web site for their frequency-range speciﬁcation. Although

you may set the AVR’s individual channel levels “by ear,” an SPL (sound-pressure level)

meter purchased at a local electronics store will provide greater accuracy.

Record your conﬁguration settings in Tables A2 through A7 in the Appendix for easy re-

entry after a system reset or the unit has been unplugged for more than four weeks.

Step One – Determine Your Speakers’ Crossover Frequencies

Consult the technical speciﬁcations for all of your speakers and locate the frequency

response, usually given as a range, e.g., 100Hz – 20kHz (±3dB). Write down the lowest

frequency that each of your speakers (except the subwoofer) is capable of playing (100Hz

in the above example) as the crossover in Table A2 in the Appendix. NOTE: This is not the

same as the crossover frequency listed in the speaker’s speciﬁcations.

The AVR’s bass management determines which speakers will be used to play back the

low-frequency (bass) portion of the source program. Sending the lowest notes to small

satellite speakers will result in bad sound and may even damage the speakers. The

highest notes may not be heard at all through the subwoofer.

With proper bass management, the AVR divides the source signal at a crossover frequency.

All information above that crossover frequency is played through your system’s speakers,

and all information below the crossover frequency is played through the subwoofer. This

way, each loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best, delivering a more powerful

and enjoyable sound experience.

Step Two – Measure the Speaker Distances

Ideally, all of your speakers would be placed in a circle, with the listening position at the

center. However, you may have had to place some speakers a little farther away from

the listening position than others. Because of this, sounds that are supposed to arrive

simultaneously from different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times.

Your AVR provides a Distance adjustment that compensates for these real-world speaker

placement differences.

Measure the distance from each speaker to the listening position, and write it down in

Table A3 in the Appendix. Even if all of your speakers are the same distance from the

listening position, enter your speaker distances as described in Distance, on page 21.

Step Three – Speaker Setup Menu

Now you are ready to program the AVR. Sit in your usual listening position, and make the

room as quiet as possible.

With the AVR and video display turned on, press the OSD/Menu button to display the menu

system and select the Speaker Setup menu. The Speaker Setup screen will appear.

NOTE: To save the current settings, press the Back/Exit button.

For best results, adjust the submenus in this order: Speakers, Crossover, Distance and

Output Adjust.
