in

until it latches and the word “OFF” on the top of

the switch disappears inside the front panel. Note

that the illumination around the

Standby/On

Switch

1

will turn amber, indicating that the

unit is in the Standby mode.

3. Carefully remove the protective plastic film from

the front-panel lens. If left in place, the film will

prevent proper operation of the remote control.

4. Install the four supplied AAA batteries in the

remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+)

and (–) polarity indicators that are in the battery

compartment.

5. Turn the AVR 635 on either by pressing the

Standby/On Switch

1

on the front panel, or

via the remote by pressing the

Power On Button

will turn blue to confirm that the

unit is on.

Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you may find

it easier to use the AVR 635’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 you have

made a connection from the

Video Monitor Out

Jack

›

on the rear panel to the composite or S-

video input of your TV or projector. In order to view the

AVR 635’s displays, the correct video source must be

selected on the video display. The on-screen menus

are not available when a component video

display is in use.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When viewing the on-screen

menus using a CRT-based projector,plasma display or

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

they not be left on for an extended period of time. The

constant display of a static image such as these menus

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 635 warranty and

may not be covered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.

The AVR 635 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 easily viewed list of

the available options on the screen.

Making Configuration Adjustments

The full-OSD system is available by pressing the

OSD Button

´

. 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

p

and then press the

/

/

¤

Navigation Button

o

to scroll through the

list of options as they appear in the on-screen display

or in the

Lower Display Line

$

.

To use the full-OSD menu system, press the

OSD

Button

´

. When the menu is on the screen, press

the

/

/

¤

Navigation Button

o

until the on-screen

²

cursor is next to the item you wish to adjust, and

then press the

Set Button

q

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

SELECT

menu, and changing the item titled

FULLOSDTIMEOUT

.

When the full-OSD system is in use, the menu selec-

tions are not shown in the

Upper

or

Lower Display

Lines

#$

. 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 conjunc-

tion with the discrete configuration buttons, the on-

screen display will show a single line of text with the

current menu selection. That selection will also be

shown in the

Upper

or

Lower Display Lines

#$

,

depending on which parameter is being adjusted.

Setting the System Configuration Memory

The AVR 635 features an advanced memory system

that enables you to establish different configurations

for the speaker “size,” component video assignment,

digital input, surround mode and crossover frequency

for each input source. This flexibility enables you to

customize the way in which you listen to each source

and have the AVR 635 memorize those settings. This

means, for example, that you may 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 635 have all

inputs except for DVD and Video 3 configured for an

analog audio input, the

Coaxial Digital Audio Input 1

for DVD and the

Optical Digital Input 1

is the default for Video 3. The default speaker settings

are “Small” at all positions, with the Subwoofer on.

The default setting for the surround modes is Logic 7

Music for analog sources. Dolby Digital or DTS will

automatically be selected as appropriate when a digital

source is in use.

Before using the unit, you may want to change the

settings for some inputs so that they are properly

configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs,

the type of speakers installed and the surround mode

specifics of your home theater system. Remember

that since the AVR 635 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 required only 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.

Input Setup

The first step is to configure each input. Once an

input is selected,

the settings for the Digital Input,

Component Video assignment and Surround Mode 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 set-

tings. 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
