IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen menus using a
CRT-based projector, plasma display or direct-view CRT monitor or
television, it is important that they not be left on for an extended
period of time. The constant display of a static image such as these
menus may cause the image to be permanently “burned into” the
projection tubes, plasma screen or CRT. This type of damage is not
covered by the AVR21EN warranty and may not be covered by the
projector/TV set’s warranty.
The AVR21EN has two on-screen display modes, “Semi-OSD” and
“Full-OSD.” When making configuration adjustments, it is recom-
mended that the full-OSD mode be used. This will place an easily
viewed list of the available options on the screen.
Making Configuration Adjustments
The full-OSD system is available by pressing the AVR (System)
Button 4
followed by the Menu Button on the AVR21ENR1
Main Room remote. When these buttons are pressed, the MAIN
MENU (
Figure 37) will appear, and adjustments are made from
the individual menus.
Figure 37.
Main Menu
The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you to make
adjustments directly, by pressing the appropriate buttons on the
AVR21EN front panel or AVR21ENR1 remote control for the specific
parameter to be adjusted. For example, to change the surround
mode for any of the sources, on the remote, press the
Surround
Button C
and then press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Buttons F or on
the AVR front panel, press the
Surround Mode Group Selector 3
and then the Surround Mode Selector 4 to scroll through the
list of options as they appear in the on-screen display or in the
Lower Display Line .
To use the full-OSD menu system, press the
AVR Button 4
followed by the Menu Button . When the menu is on the
screen, press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Buttons F until the on-screen
cursor is next to the item you wish to adjust, and then press the
Set Button H to adjust that item. The menus will remain on the
screen for 20 seconds, and then they will “time-out” and disappear
from the screen. The time-out may be increased to as much as 180
seconds by going to the ADVANCED menu, and changing the item
titled MAIN MENU TIMEOUT.
When the full-OSD system is in use, the menu selections are not
shown in the AVR
Upper or Lower Display Lines . When the
full-OSD menu system is used,
MENU will appear in the Upper
Display Line
to remind you that a video display must be used.
When the semi-OSD system is used in conjunction with the discrete
configuration buttons, the on-screen display will show a single line
of text with the current menu selection. That selection will also be
shown in the
Upper or Lower Display Lines , depending on
which parameter is being adjusted.
Setting the System Configuration Memory
The AVR21EN features an advanced memory system that enables
you to establish audio and video parameters for each input source.
This flexibility enables you to customize the way in which you
listen to each source and have the AVR21EN memorize those
settings. This means, for example, that you may set different speaker
configurations with the resultant changes to the bass management
system. Thanks to the use of exclusive Audioaccess circuitry and
software, along with DCDi
®
by Faroudja technology, you may also
customize the video settings for each input source to display
consistent, high-quality video images when the AVR21EN is used
in conjunction with a digital or high-definition display. Once these
settings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever
you select an input.
The factory default settings for audio inputs vary by source and are
detailed in the Appendix. They have been setup for typical use
based upon their intended source (e.g., “digital in” for Disc,
“analog” in for Cable). The default for all speaker settings has
the front set to “Small” with all others set to
NONE, so you can
configure the speakers to the specific use of this system. Logic 7
Music is the default surround mode for all sources, with Dolby
®
Digital or DTS
®
being selected automatically when an appropriate
digital source is in use and a digital bitstream is detected.
The factory default settings for video have all inputs configured for
AUTO. This means the AVR will automatically select the highest
quality signal available (component, S-video then composite) when
a given source is selected. The default video settings are listed
in the
Appendix. Note, however, that most of the video default
settings are only applicable when a component connection to a
digital-ready or HDTV monitor is in use. Both the video and audio
settings for all inputs may be changed, as shown in the following
pages.
Before using the unit, you may want to change the settings for
some inputs so that they are properly configured 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 AVR21EN 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. Also note
that speaker configuration (
MAIN ROOM SETUP/SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION) is global to the system. The AVR will not
change speaker configuration by source. It can change surround
modes by source if desired.
To make this process as quick and as easy as possible, we suggest
that you use the full-OSD system with the on-screen menus, and
step through each input. Once you have completed the settings for
the first input, many settings may be duplicated for the remaining
inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configuration data in the
order these items are listed in the
MASTER MENU, as some
settings require a specific entry in a prior menu item.
