SYSTEM CONFIGURATION


5. Turn the AVR 330 on either by pressing the

Standby/On Switch

3

on the front panel, or

via the remote by pressing the

Power On Button

d

, the

AVR Selector

f

or any of the

Input

Selectors

eg

on the remote. The

Power

Indicator

2

will turn blue to confirm that the unit

is on, and the

Front Panel Displays

will also

light.

Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you may find

it easier to use the AVR 330’s on-screen display sys-

tem. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear pic-

ture of the current status of the unit and make it easy

to see which speaker, delay, input or digital selection

you are making.

To view the on-screen menus, make certain that you

have made a connection from the

Video

or

S-Video

Monitor Out Jack

c

on the rear panel to the

composite or S-Video input of your TV or projector. In

order to view the AVR 330’s displays, the correct

video source must be selected on the video display.

The on-screen menus are not available when a com-

ponent video display is in use.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When viewing the on-screen

menus using a CRT-based projector,plasma display or

any direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important

that they not be left on the screen for an extended period

of time. The constant display of a static image such as

these menus or video game images may cause the

image to be permanently “burned into” the projection

tubes, plasma screen or CRT.This type of damage is not

covered by the AVR 330 warranty and may not be cov-

ered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.

The AVR 330 has two on-screen display modes,

“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making configura-

tion adjustments, it is recommended that the Full-OSD

mode be used. This will place an option listing on the

screen, making it easier to view the available options.

Making Configuration Adjustments

The full-OSD system is available by pressing the

OSD

Button

v

. When this button is pressed, the

MASTERMENU

(Figure 1) will appear, and

adjustments are made from the individual menus.

Figure 1

The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you

to make adjustments directly, by pressing the appro-

priate buttons on the front panel or remote control for

the specific parameter to be adjusted. For example, to

change the digital input for any of the sources, press

the

Digital Select Button

q

and then press the

⁄

/

¤

Buttons

n

to scroll through the list of

options as they appear in the on-screen display or the

Lower Display Line

¯

.

To use the full-OSD menu system, press the

OSD

Button

v

. When the menu is on the screen, press

the

⁄

/

¤

Buttons

n

until the on-screen

›

cursor

is next to the item you wish to adjust, and then press

the

Set Button

p

to adjust that item. The menus

will remain on the screen for 20 seconds, and then

they will “time-out” and disappear from

the screen. The

time-out may be increased to as much as 50 seconds

by going to the

ADVANCED

menu, and changing

the item titled

FULLOSDTIMEOUT

.

When the full-OSD menu system is used,

OSDON

will appear in the

Upper Display Line

˜

to remind

you that a video display must be used. When the

semi-OSD system is used in conjunction with the dis-

crete configuration buttons, the on-screen display will

show the current menu selection. That selection will

also be shown in the

Upper Display Line

˜

or the

Lower Display Line

¯

, depending on which

parameter is being adjusted.

Setting the System Configuration Memory

The AVR 330 features an advanced memory system

that enables you to establish different configurations

for the speaker configuration, digital input, surround

mode, delay times, crossover frequency and output

levels for each input source. This flexibility enables you

to customize the way in which you listen to each

source and have the AVR 330 memorize those set-

tings. This means, for example, that you may use dif-

ferent output levels or trims for different sources, or

set different speaker configurations with the resultant

changes to the bass management system. Once these

settings are made, they will automatically be recalled

whenever you select that input.

The factory default settings for the AVR 330 have all

inputs configured for an analog audio input except for

the DVD input, where the

Coaxial Digital Audio

Input 1

d

is the default. The default speaker settings

are for “Large” speakers at the front left/right, “Small”

at all other positions, and the subwoofer on. However,

once the DSP processing system is used the first time

for any input, the speaker settings will automatically

default to “Small” at all positions with the subwoofer

set to “LFE.” The default setting for the surround

modes for all analog inputs is the Logic 7 Music

mode, although Dolby Digital or DTS will automatically

be selected as appropriate when either of those bit-

stream types is detected. When a 2-channel Dolby

Digital source is present, Dolby Pro Logic II will also be

selected automatically.

Before using the unit, you will probably want to

change the settings for most inputs so that they are

properly configured to reflect the use of digital or ana-

log inputs, the type of speakers installed and the sur-

round mode specifics of your home theater system.

Remember that since the AVR 330 memorizes the

settings for each input individually, you will need to

make these adjustments for each input used.

However, once they are made, further adjustment is

only required when system components are changed.

To make this process as quick and easy as possible,

we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with the

on-screen menus, and step through each input. Once

you have completed the settings for the first input,

many settings may be duplicated for the remaining

inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configuration

data in the order these items are listed in the

MAS-

TERMENU

, as some settings require a specific

entry in a prior menu item. Remember that once the

settings are made for one input, they must be made

for all other input sources in your system.

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR 330 is to configure

each input. Once an input is selected,

all settings for

the Digital Input, Speaker Configuration, Surround

Mode and Delay Timing will “attach” themselves to that

input and be stored in a nonvolatile memory. This

means that once made, the selection of an input will

automatically recall those settings. For that reason, the

procedures described below must be repeated for

each input source so that you have the opportunity to

customize each source to your specific listening

requirements. However, once made, they need not be

changed again unless you need to alter a setting.

When using the full-OSD system to make the setup

adjustments, press the

OSD Button

v

once so that

the

MASTERMENU

(Figure 1) appears. The

>

cursor will be next to the

INPUTSETUP

line.

Press the

Set Button

p

to enter the menu and the

INPUTSETUP

menu (Figure 2) will appear on

the screen. Press the
