System Configuration Input Setup The first step in configuring the AVR 510 is to select an input. This may be done by pressing the front panel Input Source Selector ! until the desired input's name appears momentarily in the Main Information Display Y, and the green LED lights next to the input's name in the front panel Input Indicators . The input may also be selected by pressing the appropriate Input Selector on the remote control eg. When using the full-OSD system to make the setup adjustments, press the OSD button v once so that the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. Note that the › cursor will be next to the INPUT SETUP line. Press the Set button p to enter the menu and the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen. Press the ‹/› buttons o 31 until the desired input name appears in the highlighted video, as well as being indicated in the front panel Input Indicators  by the green LED next to the desired input name. If the input will use the standard left/right analog inputs, no further adjustment is needed. * IN/OUT SETUP * INPUT :VIDEO 1 DIGITAL IN:ANALOG VIDEO 4 :IN OUT COAXIAL 3 :IN OUT RETURN TO MENU Figure 2 If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with the selected input source, press the ¤ button n on the remote while the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and note that the on-screen cursor will drop down to the DIGITAL IN line. Press the ‹/› buttons o 31 until the name of the desired digital input appears. To return to the analog input, press the buttons until the word ANALOG appears. When the correct input source appears, press the ¤ button n once so that the › cursor appears next to RETURN TO MENU, and press the Set button p. To change the digital input at any time using the discrete function buttons and the semi-OSD system, press the Digital Input Select button Úq on the front panel or the remote. Within five seconds, make your input selection using the Selector buttons on the front panel 5 or the ⁄/¤ buttons n on the remote 20 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION until the desired digital or analog input is shown in the Main Information Display Y and in the lower third of the video display connected to the AVR 510. Press the Set button p to enter the new digital input assignment. An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to switch front panel jacks from their normal use as inputs to output connections so that portable recording devices may easily be connected. The front panel analog Video 4 Inputs ^ are normally set as an input for use with camcorders, video games and other portable audio/video products, but they may be switched to an output for connection to portable audio/video recorders. To temporarily switch them to outputs, you must first be at the IN/OUT SETUP menu. Press the ¤ button n until the on-screen › cursor is pointing to the VIDEO 4 line. Press the › button 31 so that the word OUT is highlighted. Note that the Input/Output Status Indicator $ between the S and Composite video jacks will turn red, indicating that the analog Video 4 jacks are now record outputs. On the AVR 510, the Digital Coax 3 jack % is normally an input, but this may also be switched to a digital output for use with CD-R/RW decks, MD recorders or other A/V recorders. To change the jack to an output, press the ⁄/¤ buttons n while the IN/OUT SETUP menu is on the screen until the › cursor is next to COAXIAL 3. Then press the ‹/› buttons o/ 31 so that the word OUT is highlighted. Note that the Input/Output Status Indicator $ will turn red, indicating that the jack is now a record output. NOTE: A signal will be sent to this jack only when the input selected for use by the AVR 510 is digital. Digital signals will be passed through regardless of their format, and which digital input (optical or coax) they are fed from. However, analog signals are not converted to digital, and the format of the signal (e.g., PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS) may not be changed. Selection of the front panel jacks as an output will remain effective as long as the AVR 510 is on. Once the unit is turned off, the jacks will revert to their normal use as an input when the unit is turned on again. Surround Setup Once the basic input setup has been completed, the next step is to set the surround mode you wish to use with an input. Since surround modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish - you may change it later. However, to make it easier to establish the initial parameters for the AVR 510, it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic for most analog inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo (as they are not typically used with multichannel program material), where it is unlikely that surround-encoded material will be used. Alternatively, the Logic 7 Music mode is a good choice for stereo-only source material. NOTE: If you have selected Logic 7 C or M as your surround mode for the current listening session, and you are using a digital input, and you have not changed the default surround mode for that input source to the same Logic 7 mode, then you will notice that if the digital signal is interrupted for any reason (such as stopping the source device), upon resumption of the signal, the AVR 510 will use a different surround mode. In fact, the AVR 510 will use whichever mode was set as the default for that source. The factory default for all sources is Stereo mode, unless the receiver detects a Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream. It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), press the ⁄/¤ buttons n until the › cursor is next to the SURROUND SETUP menu. Press the Set button p so that the SURROUND SETUP menu (Figure 3 or 4) is on the screen. * SURROUND SETUP * SURROUND: SURR OFF CENTER DELAY: MS SURR DELAY: MS NIGHT: RETURN TO MENU Figure 3 * SURROUND SETUP * SURROUND: DOLBY DIGITAL CENTER DELAY: 0MS SURR DELAY: 00MS NIGHT: OFF MID MAX RETURN TO MENU Figure 4
