AVR Introduction to Home Theater Introduction to Home Theater This introductory section will help you to familiarize yourself with some basic concepts unique to multichannel surround-sound receivers, which will make it easier for you to set up and operate your AVR.
AVR Place Your Speakers Determine the locations for your system’s speakers according to their manufacturer’s directions and the layout of your listening room. Use the illustrations below as a guide for 7.1-channel and 5.1-channel systems. To create the most realistic surround-sound environment possible, you should place your speakers in a circle with the listening position at its center. You should angle each speaker so it directly faces the listening position. Use the diagrams below as a guide.
AVR Types of Home Theater System Connections Types of Home Theater System Connections There are different types of audio and video connections used to connect the AVR to your speakers, your TV or video display, and your source devices. The Consumer Electronics Association has established the CEA® color-coding standard.
Types of Home Theater System Connections Digital Audio Connections – Coaxial Video Connections Coaxial digital audio jacks are usually color-coded in orange. Although they look like standard RCA-type analog jacks, you should not connect coaxial digital audio outputs to analog inputs or vice versa. Many source devices output both audio and video signals (e.g., Blu-ray Disc, DVD player, cable television box, HDTV tuner, satellite box, VCR, DVR).
AVR Types of Home Theater System Connections Radio Connections USB Port Your AVR uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas. The FM antenna uses a 75-ohm F-connector. The USB port on your AVR is used for firmware upgrades. If an upgrade for the AVR’s operating system is released in the future, you will be able to download it to the AVR using this port. Complete instructions will be provided at that time.
AVR Making Connections CAUTION: Before making any connections to the audio/video receiver, ensure that the AVR’s AC cord is unplugged from the receiver and the AC outlet. Making connections with the receiver plugged in and turned on could damage the speakers. Connect Your Speakers After you have placed your loudspeakers in the room as explained in Place Your Speakers, on page 13, connect each speaker to its color-coded terminal on the AVR as explained in Speaker Connections, on page 14.
AVR Making Connections Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices Your receiver has several different types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, component video, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio. The connectors are not labeled for specific types of source devices; they are labeled numerically, so you can connect your devices according to your individual system’s makeup.
AVR Connect Your HDMI Devices Connect Your Optical Digital Video Devices If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using them will provide the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections for devices you connect via an HDMI cable. If your non-HDMI source devices have optical digital outputs, connect them to the AVR’s optical digital audio connectors.
AVR Making Connections Connect Your Audio Recorders Connect The Bridge IIIP Connect a digital audio recorder’s optical digital input to the AVR’s optical digital output. You can record both coaxial and optical digital audio input signals. Connect an optional The Bridge IIIP to the AVR’s The Bridge IIIP connector. Insert the plug until it snaps into place in the connector. IMPORTANT: Connect The Bridge IIIP only with the AVR’s power turned OFF.
AVR Making Connections Connect the multi-pin DIN cable supplied with the SIRIUSConnect tuner to the AVR’s SIRIUS Tuner connector and to the corresponding connector on the SIRIUS module. The AVR will supply power to the SIRIUS module so you will not need to connect the power supply included with the module. You will need to purchase a SIRIUS radio subscription and activate the tuner module, following the instructions included with the SIRIUS module and from the SIRIUS Web site at www.sirius.com.
AVR Making Connections B. Connect an external amplifier to the AVR’s Zone 2 Out connectors. This method offers the benefit of retaining a 7.1-channel home theater in the main room simultaneously with multizone operation, although it does require an additional component (the Zone 2 amplifier).
AVR Making Connections, Set Up the Remote Control • If you install a multizone system, connect an Ir control device to the Zone 2 Ir In connector for remote-room control of the multizone system, source devices and volume in the remote zone. Zone 2 Speakers external Ir receiver Connect to AC Power connect the supplied Ac power cord to the Avr’s Ac Input connector and then to a working Ac power outlet.
AVR Once you have programmed the remote, you can switch the remote’s control mode to access the functions for a particular device by pressing the remote’s Source Selector button for that device. To control the receiver, press the remote’s Setup button. Follow these steps to program the Source Selector buttons for your source devices: 1. Turn on the source device you want to program the remote to control. 2. Look up the code numbers for the device in Tables A14 – A24 in the Appendix.
AVR Set Up the AVR In this section, you will configure the AVR to match your actual system’s makeup. Although it’s possible to configure the AVR using only the remote and the messages on the AVR’s front-panel display, it is easier if you use the full-screen menu system. Turn On the AVR 1. Set the rear-panel Main Power switch to “On.” (The front-panel Power indicator will glow amber.) 2. Press the front-panel Power button.
AVR Set Up the AVR 6. Use the remote’s Up/Down/Left/Right and OK buttons to select “Speaker Setup.” Speaker Setup Automatic Setup – EzSet/EQ Automated Speaker Setup and EQ Manual Setup Manually Adjust Speaker Settings 7. Select “Automatic Setup – EzSet/EQ” and then select “Continue.” 8. Select the number of speakers in your system. Select “5.1” if no surround back or front height speakers are present or if you will be using the Assigned Amp channels for multizone operation. 9. The test will begin.
AVR Resolution from Source: This line is informational only. It indicates the resolution of the video output by the source device. HDMI Bypass: This setting allows you to bypass the AVR’s internal video processing for proper display of 3-D video content and of source devices (such as some game consoles) where the AVR's video processing can create delays that can cause synchronization errors between the sound and picture.
AVR Operating Your AVR Operating Your AVR Now that you have installed your components and completed a basic configuration, you are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system.
AVR Operating Your AVR Video Troubleshooting Tips If there is no picture: •• Check the source selection and video input assignment. •• Check all connections for a loose or incorrect connection. •• Check the video input selection on the TV/display device. •• Press the front-panel Resolution button and use the Up/Down buttons until the correct video output resolution is selected and a picture appears.

AVR Operating Your AVR Listening to Media on a USB Device (AVR 3650/AVR 365) Listening to an iPod/iPhone Device Your AVR is compatible with MP3 and WMA media.
AVR If a video monitor is connected to the AVR and the system is not in iPod manual mode, a The Bridge screen will appear and display the play mode icon, song title, artist and album. A graphic bar indicates the current play position within the track. If random or repeat play has been programmed, an icon will appear in the upper right corner. Due to the wide variety of applications and many factors affecting them, playback is not guaranteed.
AVR Operating Your AVR Listening to Media via Your Home Network Your AVR can play MP3 and WMA audio media that is stored on a PC when both the PC and the AVR are connected to your home network router. MP3 compatibility: Mono or stereo, contstant bit rates (CBR) from 8kbps to 320kbps, variable bit rates (VBR) from lowest to highest quality, with sample rates from 8kHz – 48kHz. WMA compatibility: Ver. 9.
AVR Much of the adjusting and configuration your AVR requires is handled automatically, with little intervention required on your part. You can also customize your AVR to suit your system and your tastes. In this section we will describe some of the more advanced adjustments available to you. Audio Processing and Surround Sound Audio signals can be encoded in a variety of formats that can affect not only the quality of the sound but the number of speaker channels and the surround mode.
AVR Advanced Functions Audio Effects Button To adjust other audio settings, such as the tone controls, press the Audio Effects button to display the Audio Effects menu. You can also access the menu by pressing the Info button and selecting Audio Effects. Treble/Bass: These settings boost or cut the treble or bass frequencies by up to 10dB. Use the Left/Right buttons to change the setting. The default setting is 0dB, at the center of the bar.
AVR Plasma and CRT monitors may suffer from “burn-in” when the same image, such as the horizontal or vertical bars, is left on screen for a long period of time. Adjust the picture so that it fills the display’s screen. Highlight this setting and press the OK Button. Each press of the Up/Down buttons changes the setting. Press the OK button when the desired setting appears in the display box at the lower right corner of the video screen.
AVR Advanced Functions, Manual Speaker Setup Manual Speaker Setup Contrast Adjustment 1. Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright white bar in the lower right corner of the screen and a deep, dark, black bar to the left. 2. If the brightness of the white bar no longer increases when the Contrast is turned up or the borders of white letters bloom (overlight) into the black areas (drastically decreasing the sharpness of the letters), the contrast has been turned up too much.
AVR If you have already run the EzSet/EQ process as explained in Configure the AVR for Your Speakers, on page 25, the AVR saved the results. To fine-tune the EzSet/EQ results, or to configure the AVR from scratch, select Manual Setup. A screen similar to the one shown below will appear. Crossover (Size) After you return to the Manual Speaker Setup menu, navigate to the Crossover (Size) line and press the OK button to display the Adjust Crossover Frequencies menu.
AVR Manual Speaker Setup All of the system’s speakers will appear with their current level settings. You can adjust each speaker’s level between –10dB and +10dB in 1dB increments. Set the Speaker Distances As described above in Step Two, when you measured the distances from each of your speakers to the listening position, your AVR provides an adjustment that compensates for the different distances so that the sound from each speaker will reach the listening position at the proper time.
AVR Manual Speaker Setup, System Settings Unit of Measure: Language: Dolby Vol. Calibration: RS232 Control: With the multizone system in use, you may enjoy an exciting 5.1-channel home theater presentation in the main listening area, while others listen to the same program or an entirely different source in another room.
