Ramp/Square: This complex pattern uses a variety of fixed
and pulsating gray-scale tests to test different aspects of the 3/2
pull-down edit detection and other aspects of the processor and
interpolation software.
Out Aspect Ratio
This setting selects between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio, as described
in
Screen Type, above. To set OUT ASPECT RATIO, press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Button F until the cursor is positioned next to
OUT ASPECT RATIO. Press the
‹

Navigation Button F to
select the appropriate setting.
Component Out
With the cursor positioned next to the COMPONENT OUT line,
press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button F to choose 1080i for high
definition (any device capable of accepting an input signal of 480p
or higher) or 480i for a standard-resolution video display.
HDMI Enhancement
This setting allows connection and use of the HDMI Output
on the AVR rear panel with an HDMI-capable HD Video Display.
HDMI transfers uncompressed digital video signals to similarly
capable devices for the best quality video image. Selecting YES
will disable the
Monitor Component Video Output . (Conversely,
selecting NO disables the
HDMI OUT .) The Monitor Component
Video Output and HDMI Output cannot be used simultaneously.
To activate the HDMI Output, with the cursor next to HDMI
ENHANCEMENT, press the
‹

Navigation Button F to select
YES. If using the Monitor Component Video Output, select NO.
When all needed adjustments have been made, press the

Navigation Button F until the cursor is next to BACK TO
MAIN ROOM to continue with the system configuration and press
the
Set Button H or press the Exit Button G to return to
operational mode.
Advanced Settings
The AVR21EN is equipped with a number of advanced features
that add extra flexibility to the unit’s operation. While it is not
necessary to use these features to operate the unit, they provide
additional options that you may wish to use.
Front-Panel Timeout
In normal operation, the AVR21EN front-panel displays and
indicators remain on at full-brightness. As an option, you may
dim them or turn them off. As an additional option, you may also
set the AVR so that the displays appear whenever a button is
pressed on the front panel or remote, but then fade out after
a set period of time.
To set front-panel time-out, press the
Menu Button on the
remote to bring the MAIN MENU to the screen. Press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Button F so that the cursor is pointed at the MAIN
ROOM SETUP line. Press the
Set Button H. Press the

Navigation Button F so that the cursor is pointed at the

¤
Navigation Button F so that the cursor is pointed to the FRNT
PANEL TIMEOUT line. Next, press the

Navigation Button
F
to set the amount of time after which you wish the displays to
fade out after a button is pressed. Range: 3–9 seconds, OFF.
Once this time is set and the unit is returned to normal operation,
the displays will remain on for the time period selected whenever
Press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button F to select from among the
options shown for the type of display that is connected to the
AVR21EN. The options are:
Screen Type
CRT: This setting is optimized for use with displays that use
cathode ray tubes (CRTs) to display images. For the purposes of this
setting, it does not matter whether the display is a single tube,
direct view CRT television or a three-tube front or rear projector.
The default aspect ratio is 4:3, but you may change that setting, if
desired, in the VIDEO MONITOR SETTINGS screen.
Project: This setting is optimized for front- or rear-screen projectors,
regardless of the imaging technology used, that are set to display
a standard 4:3 aspect ratio. If your projection display has a 16:9
aspect ratio, select DLP or LCD as a display-type option, or for
CRT-based projectors that use a 16:9 screen, select the CRT option
and then change the OUT ASPECT RATIO setting to 16:9.
Plasma: This setting is optimized for plasma displays, regardless of
whether they are fully high-definition-capable or “ED” displays
that are HD-compatible.
DLP: This setting is optimized for use with projectors that use light
engines with Texas Instruments DLP
™
technology. For the purposes
of this setting, it does not matter whether the display uses one or
three chips, or whether the display is a front- or rear-projection
system. The default aspect ratio is 16:9, but you may change that
setting, if desired, by changing the OUT ASPECT RATIO setting.
LCD: This setting is optimized for use with displays that use liquid
crystal display (LCD) technology. For the purposes of this setting,
it does not matter whether the display is a direct-view LCD flat panel,
or a front- or rear-projection system using three LCDs as its light
engine. The default aspect ratio is 16:9, but you may change that
setting, if desired, by changing the OUT ASPECT RATIO setting.
Test Video
The test signals that are called up on this line are designed for use
in factory setup of the AVR21EN’s video processing circuit and they
are not designed for user adjustment of any controls on your video
sources, on your video display or on the AVR21EN itself. You may
bypass this setting line unless you wish to view the signals, but
remember that they are not designed for any consumer use.
To view the test signals, with the on-screen cursor next to the
TEST VIDEO line, press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button F to
select one of the test signals described below, and then press the
Set Button H to activate the test signal. The test signal will
remain on the screen for the length of time selected in the
ADVANCED SETTINGS menu for the on-screen display, as
explained in
Advanced Settings/Main Menu Timeout. The
four test signals are:
Color Bars: These are a variation of traditional split-field color
bars used to check the internal settings for luminance/chrominance
voltage levels, with respect to the eight basic colors.
Triangle Fixed: This test signal puts two opposing triangles
on screen, with a black triangle on the right and a white triangle
on the left, to test aspects of the pull-down logic software.
Triangle Flashing: This test signal also puts two opposing black
and white triangles on the screen, but it flashes them at a high
frame rate, to test the 3/2 pull-down edit detection and other
aspects of the processor and interpolation software.
