Navigation Button F so the cursor is next to BACK TO

Set Button H.
The speaker levels may also be set using the front-panel controls.
Once the reference level has been set, on the AVR front panel,
press the
Channel Select Button R and FRONT L LEVEL
will appear in the AVR Lower Display Line . To change the
level, first press the
Set Button 7, and then use the
‹

Adjust Buttons 68
to raise or lower the level. DO NOT use the
volume control, as this will alter the reference setting.
Once the change has been made, press the
Set Button 7 and
then press the
‹

Mode Adjust Buttons 68 to select the next
output-channel location that you wish to adjust. To adjust the
subwoofer level, press the

WOOFER LEVEL appears in the Lower Display Line or
on-screen display.
NOTE: Speaker configuration and source
configuration must be set to an appropriate surround mode to
be able to make adjustments to the subwoofer and specific
surround speakers.
Repeat the procedure as needed, until all channels requiring
adjustment have been set. When all adjustments have been
made and no further adjustments are made for 5 seconds,
the AVR21EN will return to normal operational.
Lip Sync
When a digital video source or a digital video display causes the
video and audio signals to be out of sync, you may use the Lip Sync
Adjust feature to delay the audio signal as it is sent to all channels
(as opposed to the individual channels) so that the picture and
sound are brought back into sync. We recommend that this adjust-
ment be made using the direct-access controls on the remote, as
shown below. That enables you to see the image while making
the adjustment. However, you may also adjust it here using the
menu system.
To adjust the Lip Sync delay, press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button F
so that the cursor is pointing to LIP SYNC in MAIN ROOM
SETUP; then press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button F to delay the
sound sufficiently so that it matches the on-screen video.
Note that the Lip Sync delay setting is common to all sources.
Some adjustments may need to be made when switching between
sources, given different settings and performance characteristics
of different devices.
REC Out
The REC OUT line gives you the opportunity to select which type of
audio signal is directed to the Record Output Jacks associated with
VR 4, and AUX 7. The default setting is ANALOG, which will
send the analog signal from any source to all three sets of analog
record outputs.
In cases in which you wish to have the output of a digital source
selected as the record output feed, with the cursor next to REC
OUT , press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button F so that DSP
DOWNMIX appears. When this indication is shown, the AVR will
feed a downmixed, analog version of a Dolby Digital- or DTS-
encoded signal to the Record Output jacks associated with
VR 4,
AUX 7 and the Game/Cam IJLM AVR front-panel jacks
(when they are configured as outputs). This enables you to make
an analog recording (where permitted by copyright laws) of the
soundtrack from a digital source.
As a reminder, to ensure that a signal feed is always available to
the Record Output jacks, we recommend that an analog connection
be made as a fallback for all digital sources. This is key with sources
such as cable set-tops to ensure that a record feed will continue
in the event that the digital audio stream is not available when
channels are changed.
When all needed adjustments have been made, press the
⁄

Navigation Button F until the cursor is next to VIDEO
MONITOR SETTINGS, to make additional Main Room
adjustments, or BACK TO MAIN MENU to continue with
the system configuration, or press the
Exit Button G on
the remote to return to operational mode.
Video Monitor Settings
The VIDEO MONITOR SETTINGS are global, rather than
input-dependent, as there is only one Main Room display connected
to the AVR. The settings here are primarily changes to the video
enhancement level and aspect ratio for a specific type of device,
and defaults were selected after testing on a wide range of
product brands. To change this setting, press the

so that the on-screen cursor is pointing to VIDEO
