22 SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONSystem ConfigurationThe factory default setting is to have the sub-woofer turned off for this mode, but you maychange that setting by following these steps:1. Press the Speaker Button 6'.2. Press the Set Button F@ to activate theconfiguration menu.3. Press the ⁄/¤ Buttons D on the remoteor the ‹/› Buttons 7 on the front panel toselect the desired option. SUB NONE turns offthe feed to the subwoofer, while SUB turns it on.4. When the desired setting has been entered,press the Set Button F@ to return to nor-mal operation.Stereo-Digital ModeWhen the Stereo-Direct (Bypass) mode is in usea full range signal is always sent to the frontleft/right speakers. By its nature, that optiondoes not pass the signal through the AVR’s digi-tal signal processing, creating the requirementfor full-range speakers. If your front speakers arebandwidth limited, “satellite”speakers, we rec-ommend that you do NOT use the Bypass mode,but rather use the DSP SURROUND OFFmode for stereo listening.To listen to programs in the two-channel stereomode while taking advantage of the bass man-agement system, press the Stereo ModeSelector until SURROUND OFFappears in the Main Information Display ˜and the DSP and SURR. OFF SurroundMode Indicators ( both light up. When onlythe SURR. OFF Surround ModeIndicators ( is lit you are in the Stereo-Direct(Bypass) mode.When this mode is in use, the front left/rightspeakers and subwoofer may be configured tomeet the requirements of your specific speakersusing the steps shown in the Speaker Setup sec-tion on page 17.Delay SettingsDue the different distances between the listen-ing position for the front channel speakers andthe surround speakers, the amount of time ittakes for sound to reach your ears from the frontor surround speakers is different. You may com-pensate for this difference through the use ofthe delay settings to adjust the timing for thespecific speaker placement and acoustic condi-tions in your listening room or home theater.To re-synchronize the front, center and surroundchannels at first measure and note the distancefrom the listening/viewing position to the front,center, surround and surround back (if any)speakers in meters.In addition to adjusting the delay time for eachindividual speaker position, the AVR is amongthe few A/V receivers that allows you to adjustthe delay for the combined output of all speak-ers as a group. This feature is called A/V SyncDelay; it allows you to compensate for delays tothe video image that may be caused by the pro-cessing in products such as digital video dis-plays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite sys-tems, or personal video recorders. With properadjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, youcan eliminate the loss of lip sync that may becaused by digital video applications.The Delay setting for all speakers configured foryour system will be available only (with 5.1 orwith 6.1/7.1 configuration) when any Dolby sur-round mode is selected (except Dolby-3-Stereo).In addition they are selectable with these modesonly, with all other modes the delay times arefixed.Note that the Delay settings are "Global" for allinputs, using those Dolby modes, and need notto be repeated with any input.To start with the delay settings at first select anyinput associated with such a Dolby mode. Next,continue within the MASTER MENU (Figure1). If the system is not already at that point,press the OSD button L to bring up the mas-ter menu. Press the ¤ Button D three timesor until the on-screen cursor is pointing at theDELAY ADJUST line. Press the Set ButtonF to call up the menu.Figure 8Next move the cursor to the UNIT line andselect the unit for distances you prefer to enter,feet or meter. Then move the cursor to theF L line where the first adjustment is made.Now press the ‹/ › Buttons E& until thedistance from the front left speaker to the pre-ferred listening position is entered. Next pressthe ¤ Button D once to move to the nextline.Now the cursor will be at the CEN line sothat the delay for the center speaker may be set.Press the ‹/ › Buttons E& until the dis-tance from the main listening position to thecenter speaker is entered. Repeat the procedurefor all active speaker positions by pressing the¤ Button D again and use the ‹/ ›Buttons E& to change the setting.Remember that this last adjustment will only beneeded when you have surround back speakersinstalled and Dolby Digital chosen as the sur-round mode.When the delay time for all speaker positionshas been set you may return to the master menuby pressing the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Duntil the cursor is pointing to BACK T OMASTER MENU and then pressing the SetButton F. However, if you have a digitalvideo source or a digital video display that caus-es lack of lip sync you may use the A/V Syncadjust feature to delay the audio signal as it issent to all channels (as opposed to the individ-ual settings) so that the picture and sound arebrought back together. We recommend that thisadjustment be made using the direct access con-trols on the remote, as shown below. Thatenables you to see the image while making theadjustment; however, you may also adjust it hereusing the menu system.To adjust the A/V Sync delay, press the ⁄/¤Navigation Button D so that the cursoris pointing to the A/V Sync Delay line on themenu and then press the ‹/ › NavigationButton E& to delay the sound sufficientlyso that it matches the on-screen video.The delay settings may be adjusted at any timeusing the remote control and while viewing anon-screen image by pressing the Delay SelectButton %. The A/V Sync Delay setting is first,and it may be adjusted by pressing the SetButton F within five seconds of when theA/V SYNC DELAY message appears inthe on-screen display and the Lower DisplayLine ˜. Then, press the ‹/ › NavigationButton E& to enter the desired delay set-ting that brings the video and sound back insync. Press the Set Button F again to enterthe setting.Note that the A/V Sync delay setting is unique toeach video input source, so you may enter a dif-ferent setting to compensate for the differencesbetween any product attached to the Video 1, 2,3 or 4 inputs.To change one of the individual speaker posi-tions directly, press the Delay Select Button%, followed by the ⁄/¤ NavigationButton D to select the desired position asthat name appears in the on-screen display andthe Lower Display Line ˜. When the nameof the speaker position to be adjusted appearspress the Set Button F within five seconds.Press the ‹/ › Navigation Button E& toenter the desired delay setting for that speakerand then press the Set Button F to enter thesetting. The ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Dmay be used to select another position, or youmay simply wait five seconds for the system totime out and return to normal operation.* D E L A Y A D J U S T *F L : 1 2 f t S B R : 1 0 f tC E N : 1 2 f t S B L : 1 0 f tF R : 1 2 f t S L : 1 0 f tS R : 1 0 F t S U B : 1 0 f tU N I T : F E E T M E T E RA / V S Y N C D E L A Y : 0 m SB A C K T O M A S T E R M E N U
