bers and symbols. Press the button either way, until the first letter
of the desired name appears. If you wish to enter a blank space as
the first character, press the
›
Navigation Button F.
The
Alphanumeric Buttons can also be used for entering
Source names. With the flashing box in the NAME field as
described above, press the alphanumeric button with the first letter
of the desired name. For “DVD” press the “DEF” button. A “D” will
appear on screen. Press the
›
Navigation Button F to move
the flashing box. Next press the “TUV” button. For “V,” press the
button twice until “V” appears. If you wish to enter a blank space,
press the
›
Navigation Button F.
When the desired character appears, press the
›
Navigation
Button F
and repeat the process for the next letter. Continue
until the desired name is entered, up to 14 characters. When the
name is complete, press the
Set Button H to enter it into the
system memory. Repeat for all inputs where specific source names
are desired.
Source Audio Input
To associate a particular analog or digital input with an input source,
press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button F while the SOURCES 1 menu
is on the screen, until the cursor moves to the AUDIO INPUT
line. Press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button F until the desired input
appears.
To change the digital or analog input at any time using the discrete
function buttons and the semi-OSD system, press the
Audio Input
Button A
on the remote. Within 5 seconds, make your input
selection using the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button F until the desired
digital or analog input is shown in the AVR
Upper Display Line
and in the lower line of the on-screen display. Press the Set Button
H
to enter the new digital or analog input assignment.
Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box or HDTV set-
top, may change between analog and digital outputs, depending
on which channel is in use. The AVR21EN’s Auto Polling feature
allows you to avoid losing the audio feed when this happens, by
permitting both analog and digital connections to the same source
on the AVR21EN. For some inputs, digital audio is the default, and
the unit will automatically switch to the analog audio if the digital
audio stream stops.
In cases where only a digital source is used, you may wish to disable
the Auto Polling feature to prevent the AVR21EN from trying to
“find” an analog source when the digital source is paused. To turn
Auto Polling off for any input, first make certain that the cursor is
pointing to the
AUDIO INPUT DETECT line on the menu
screen. Next, press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button F so that NO
appears. Repeat the procedure at any time by selecting YES to
restore the Auto Polling feature.
Audio Mode
The next step is to set the surround mode you wish to use with
the input selected in SOURCES 1. Since surround modes are a
matter of personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish –
you may change it later. However, to make it easier to establish
the initial parameters for the AVR21EN, it is best to select Dolby
®
Pro Logic
®
II (Movie or Music) or Logic 7
®
(Cinema or Music) for
most analog inputs, and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to
digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD player, tape deck
or tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo (“Surround Off”)
as they are not typically used with multichannel program material,
and it is unlikely that surround-encoded material will be used.
Alternatively, the Logic 7 Music mode is a good choice for stereo-
only source material. See the
Main Room Operation/Surround
Mode Selection
and Digital Audio Playback sections for more
information on available surround modes.
For digital program material, the AVR will always examine the data
stream and automatically select a Dolby Digital or DTS
®
mode, as
applicable.
It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the full-OSD
on-screen menus. From the SOURCES 1 screen, press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button F until the cursor is next to the AUDIO
MODE line. Each option in this menu selects the surround mode
category (AUDIO MODE line) and within each of those
categories there will be a choice of the specific mode options
(the A.TYPE line).
The choice of modes will vary according to the speaker configuration
in your system. When the AVR21EN is configured for 5.1-channel
operation, and the SURR BACK line of the SPEAKER SETUP
menu is set to NONE, only the modes appropriate to a five-speaker
system will appear. When the AVR21EN is configured for 7.1-channel
operation, and the SURR BACK line of the SPEAKER SETUP
menu is set to SMALL or LARGE, additional modes such as Dolby
Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx and DTS-ES
®
will appear, as they are
only available when seven main speakers are present. In addition,
some of the modes available in the AVR21EN will not appear unless
a digital source is selected and is playing the correct bitstream.
To select the mode that will be used as the initial default for an
input, first press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Button F until the cursor is
next to AUDIO MODE. Press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button F to
select a master category name, such as DOLBY, DTS, DSP
(SURR). Next, press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button F to move the
on-screen cursor next to A.TYPE. Press the
‹
/

Navigation Button
F
to scroll through the available choices.
The following paragraphs detail the instructions needed
for modes with multiple choices.
DOLBY
The Dolby Surround choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II,
Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Movie and Music, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby
Virtual Speaker Reference or Wide. For a complete description of
the different Dolby surround modes, see the
Main Room Operation/
Surround Mode Selection
section. The Dolby Digital EX and
Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes are only available when the system is
set for 7.1 operation by configuring the Surround Back speakers
to “Small” or “Large,” as described in the
AVR21EN Configuration/
Speaker Setup
section. When a disc is playing with a Dolby Digital
soundtrack that contains a special “flag” signal in the data stream,
the Dolby Digital EX mode will be selected automatically. It may
also be selected using this menu or through the front-panel or
remote controls, as described in
Main Room Operation/Surround
Mode Selection.
When the cursor is pointing to the AUDIO MODE line, press the

mode, again remembering that the choice of available modes will
