SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 21SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONSYSTEM CONFIGURATION 21alter a setting. The configuration settings for speaker“size” and crossover points are set once and appliedto all inputs.When using the full-OSD system to make the setupadjustments, press the OSD Button once sothat the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. TheÔ cursor will be next to the INPUT SETUPline. Press the Set Button q and the INPUTSETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen.Press the ‹/› Navigation Button o until thedesired input name appears in the highlighted video,as well as being indicated in the front-panel InputIndicators !. When you are scrolling through thelist of available inputs, you will hear a slight click fromtime to time. This is normal, as it is caused by therelay that is used to switch between the twoComponent Video inputs.Figure 2When one of the four Video inputs is selected as thesource, you have the option of renaming the input as itappears in the on-screen and front panel messages.This is helpful if you have more than one VCR, if youwish to associate a specific product brand name withthe input, or to simply enter any name that will helpyou to remember which source is being selected.To change the input name, press the ⁄/¤Navigation Button o on the remote so that the Ôcursor is pointing to TITLE. Next, press and holdthe Set Button q for a few seconds until a flashingbox appears to the right of the colon. Immediatelyrelease the Set Button q, as you are now readyto enter the device name.Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o and notethat a complete set of alphanumeric characters willappear with the start of the alphabet in capital lettersfollowed by the lowercase letters and then numbersand symbols. When you press the ¤ NavigationButton o, a series of symbols and numbers willappear, followed by a reverse list of the alphabet inlowercase letters. Press the button either way until thefirst letter of the desired name appears. If you wish toenter a blank space as the first character, press the ›Navigation Button o.When the desired character appears, press the ›Navigation Button o and repeat the process forthe next letter, and continue until the desired name isentered, up to a maximum of 14 characters. Pressthe Set Button q to enter the input name into thesystem memory and to proceed with the configurationprocess.If your system includes any sources that are equippedwith Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the AVR 435is able to switch them to send the proper signals toyour video display. Each of the two ComponentVideo Inputs cd may be assigned to any sourcefor added system flexibility. The default setting is forthe Component Video 1 Jacks c to be assignedto the DVD and 6/8-Channel Direct inputs, with theComponent Video 2 Jacks d assigned to all otherinputs. If your system does not include componentvideo at this time, or if you do not need to changethese defaults, press the ¤ Navigation Button oto go to the next setting.To change the Component Video assignment, firstmake certain that the Ô cursor is pointing to theCOMPONENT IN line on the menu screen,and then press the ‹/› Navigation Button ountil you see the desired input in the highlightedvideo. The clicking noise that you will hear when thecomponent video inputs are switched is normal, dueto the relay used to ensure proper isolation betweenthe two inputs.When the desired component input has been selected,press the ¤ Navigation Button o to go to thenext setting.If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs withthe selected input source or change the default digitalinput selection, press the ¤ Navigation Button oon the remote while the IN/OUT SETUPmenu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and the on-screencursor will drop down to the DIGITAL IN line.Press the ‹/› Navigation Button o until thename of the desired digital input appears. To returnto the analog input, press the button until the wordANALOG appears.When configuring the digital input for a source devicesuch as a digital cable box or other set-top tunerproduct with a digital audio output where you haveconnected both the digital and analog outputs of thesource to the AVR, select the appropriate digital inputon this menu. The digital source will become thedefault, and the AVR will always look there first tosee whether a signal is present. However, if the digitaldata stream is interrupted for any reason, the AVR willautomatically switch to the analog connection as abackup. This is particularly useful when configuringthe connection for digital set-top boxes, where somechannels feature digital sound, but others do not.To change the digital input at any time using the dis-crete function buttons and the semi-OSD system,press the Digital Select Button p on the remote.Within 5 seconds, make your input selection usingthe ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o until the desireddigital or analog input is shown in the Upper DisplayLine # and in the lower line of the on-screendisplay.When all needed adjustments have been made, pressthe ¤ Navigation Button o until the Ô cursor isnext to BACK TO MASTER MENU to con-tinue with the system configuration.Audio SetupThis menu allows you to configure the tone controlsand to turn the upsampling on or off. If you do notwish to change any of those settings at this time, pro-ceed to the next menu screen. However, to makeconfiguration changes to those parameters, makecertain that the MASTER MENU is on screenwith the Ô cursor pointing to the AUDIO SETUPline, and press the Set Button q. The AUDIOSETUP menu (Figure 3) will appear.Figure 3The first line controls whether or not the bass/trebletone controls are in the signal path. The normal defaultis for them to be in-line, but if you wish to removethem from the circuit for “flat” response, first makecertain that the Ô cursor is pointing to the TONEline on the menu and press the ‹/› NavigationButton o so that OUT is highlighted in reversevideo.If you wish to leave the tone controls in the signalpath, the amount off boost or cut for bass and treblemay be adjusted by pressing the ⁄/¤ NavigationButton o so that the Ô cursor is next to bassortreble depending on which setting you wish to adjust.Next, press the ‹/› Navigation Button o untilthe desired setting is shown.This menu also includes a setting to turn the unit’supsampling feature on or off. In normal use, thisfeature is turned off, which means that digital sourcesare processed at their native sample rate. Forexample, a 48kHz digital source will be processedat 48kHz.
