24 SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONThe factory default settings for the AVR 347have all inputs configured for an analog audioinput except for the DVD input, where theCoaxial Digital Input is the default andthe Video 2 input, where the Optical DigitalAudio Input is the default. Once the DSPprocessing system is used for the first time forany input, the speaker settings will automaticallydefault to “Small” at all positions with the sub-woofer set to “Sub (LFE)” The default setting forthe surround modes is Logic 7 Music, althoughDolby Digital or DTS will automatically be select-ed as appropriate when a source with digitalencoding is in use.Before using the unit, you will probably want tochange the settings for most inputs so that theyare properly configured to reflect the use of digi-tal or analog inputs and the surround modeassociated with the input. Remember that sincethe AVR memorizes the settings for each inputindividually, you will need to make these adjust-ments for each input used. However, once theyare made, further adjustment is only requiredwhen system components are changed.To make this process as quick and as easy aspossible, we suggest that you use the full-OSDsystem with the on-screen menus, and stepthrough each input.It is recommended that you record your settingsfor each input using the work-sheets in theappendix to this manual, in the event there is apower loss or if you need to reenter the settingsfor some other reason.The OSD system consists of six main menus:Input Setup, Surround Setup, Speaker Setup,Multiroom Setup, Video Setup and System Setup.Navigation tabs for each menu appear on theleft side of the screen. When you first press theOSD Button L, the Input Setup menu will bevisible (see Figure 1), since its tab is at the top ofthe screen. However, you must press the SetButton F to select the Input Setup menu sothat you can make any necessary adjustments. Ifyou wish to select another menu, use the ⁄/¤Buttons D to highlight the tab for thedesired menu, and press the Set Button F toselect it.Figure 1When you first select a menu, the first settingline will be highlighted (see Figure 2).Figure 2If you wish to change that setting, press the SetButton F. Although the setting name willremain highlighted, the value will appear in bluetype with arrows to the right, indicating that youmay use the ‹/› Buttons E to scrollthrough the available values. See Figure 3.When the desired value appears, press the SetButton F to select it.Figure 3Use the ⁄/¤ Buttons D to navigate toother settings within the menu. When you havefinished making all adjustments in that menu,press the ‹ Button E to return to the naviga-tion tabs, and then use the ⁄/¤ Buttons Dto select the tab for another menu.Input SetupThe first step in configuring the AVR is to selectan input, i.e. to associate an analog or digitalinput with each input source in use, e.g. CD orDVD. Note that once an input is selected, allsettings for the Digital Input, will ”attach”themselves to that input and be stored in anonvolatile memory. This means that once made,the selection of an input will automatically recallthose settings. For that reason, the proceduresdescribed below must be repeated for eachinput source so that you have the opportunity tocustom tailor each source to your specificlistening requirements. However, once made theyneed not be changed again unless you need toalter a setting.When using the full-OSD system to make thesetup adjustments, press the OSD button Lonce so that the INPUT SETUP menu(Figure 2) will appear on the screen. Press theSet Button F once to highlight theSource-line. Press the Set Button Fagain, followed by the ‹/› buttons Euntil the desired input name appears in bluetext. If the input will use the standard left/rightanalog inputs, no further adjustment is needed.Figure 2The AVR offers you the option of renaming eachinput (except tuner) as it appears in the on-screen and front panel messages. This is helpfulif you have more than one VCR, if you wish toassociate a specific product brand name withthe input, or to simply enter any name that willhelp you to remember which source is beingselected.To change the input name, press the ⁄/¤Navigation Button D on the remote so thatthe Title-line is highlighted in blue. Thescreen shown in Figure 4 will appear. Use theNavigation Buttons DE to highlightthe desired letter (or other character), and pressthe Set Button F to add it to the new title,which will be displayed in the bar at the top ofthe screen. You may use the NavigationButtons DE to move the cursor withinthe new title. To add a space either move thecursor one character to the right as describedabove, or highlight the SPACE indicator onscreen and press the Set Button F.Figure 4System Configuration
