OUT. (There will be an audible click in the AVR as it changes
configuration.)
Once the setting is made, the
Input/Output Status Indicator

will turn red, indicating that the jacks are now outputs,
instead of in the default setting as inputs. Once changed to outputs,
the setting will remain as long as the AVR21EN is turned on, unless
the setting is changed in the OSD menu system, as described
above. However, once the AVR21EN is turned off, the setting is
canceled. When the unit is turned on again, the front-panel jacks
will return to their normal default setting as inputs. If you wish to
use the jacks as outputs at a future time, the setting must be
changed again using the OSD menu system, as described above.
Video Input

first, press the

is AUTO. Auto will poll the component, S- and composite video
jacks for a given source until it finds a signal and will then choose
the highest quality signal available for that input. This is recom-
mended for most applications.
Video Settings
The AVR21EN is unique among audio/video receivers in that it
not only includes an onboard video processing system using DCDi
by Faroudja technology, but also allows the video controls to be
individually set for each video input source. This permits you to
compensate for the problems inherent in older technologies such
as VCR while taking the maximum advantage of new source
options such as DVD, digital cable and satellite programming.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The video processor is only available when the
AVR21EN is connected to a “digital-ready” or HDTV video display,
which is defined as a product that is able to accommodate input
sources of 480p or greater through Y/Pr/Pb analog component
inputs or an HDMI connection. If your video display does not have
that capability, you may skip the settings in this section, as they will
not apply to your home theater system. In addition, note that the
video processor is only active when the input signals are standard
480i analog video or 480p analog video as output from sources
such as progressive scan DVD players. When HDTV signals of 720p
or 1080i are in use, they are passed directly through to the display
without any processing.
The
SOURCES 2 menu defines the Source Video Input. The
VIDEO SETTINGS submenus contain the individual parameters
that will be applied to the specific video input in use. Before
proceeding with the setup, we suggest that you look at the
default settings for each input, which are listed in the
Appendix to
this manual. If the settings for any input mirror the configuration
of your home theater system, then no further adjustment is needed.
It is worth noting that the impact of many of the individual settings
is subtle, and it is only when they are grouped together that the
full power of the video processing system is unleashed. That means
that there is no “right” or “wrong” setting in many cases, and the
setting that seems best to you is the one that is truly correct for
your specific combination of equipment, room environment and
personal viewing preferences. Feel free to experiment with differ-
ent setting combinations, as you can’t impair anything by doing so.
When you do reach the combination of settings for both your
display system and each input, it is a good idea to write those
settings down using the worksheets found in the
Appendix.
NOTE:
All of the menus in the video setup system are viewed over
the video source that is currently playing. In order to see the
impact of any menu setting changes in the video in real time, you
must first turn on the Faroudja
®
processing system by pressing
either the
Faroudja Button 7 on the remote or the AVR front
panel
Set Button 7 and releasing the button so that FAROUDJA:
ON appears in the semi-OSD message and in the
Lower Display
