If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 28.) • The AVR-3801's on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions. • The setup menu is not displayed when "HEADPHONE ONLY" is selected. 16

SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
Once all connections with other AV components have been completed as described in “CONNECTIONS” (see pages 6 to 13), make the various
settings described below on the monitor screen using the AVR-3801’s on-screen display function.
These settings are required to set up the listening room’s AV system centered around the AVR-3801.
Use the following buttons to set up the system:
SYSTEM SETUP button
Press this to display the system setup menu.
ENTER button
Press this to switch the display.
Also use this button to complete the setting.
CURSOR buttons
F
and
G
: Use these to move the cursors (
F

G
) to the
left

on the screen.
D
and
H
: Use these to move the cursors (
D
and
H
) to the up
and down on the screen.
NOTES:
The on-screen display signals are not output from the color difference (component) video signal (MONITOR OUT) jacks.
The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor
is connected to both the AVR-3801’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-3801 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected to
both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to
the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 28.)
The AVR-3801’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small
screens or low resolutions.
The setup menu is not displayed when “HEADPHONE ONLY” is selected.

Input the combination of speakers in your system and their
corresponding sizes (SMALL for regular speakers, LARGE for full-
size, full-range) to automatically set the composition of the signals
output from the speakers and the frequency response.
Use this function when using multiple surround speaker
combinations for more ideal surround sound. Once the
combinations of surround speakers to be used for the
different surround modes are preset, the surround
speakers are selected automatically according to the
surround mode.
This selects the subwoofer speaker for playing deep bass signals.
Set the method of playing the surround back channel for digital
signals.
This adjusts the volume of the signals output from the speakers and
subwoofer for the different channels in order to obtain optimum
effects.
This assigns the digital input jacks for the different input
sources.
This sets whether or not to display the on-screen display that
appears on the monitor screen when the controls on the remote
control unit or main unit are operated.
FM stations are received automatically and stored in the memory.
