Configuring the AVR280

The AVR280 ‘Set-up Menu’ has six ‘Basic’ and five ‘Advanced’ menu screens that take you through
the configuration process. The ‘Basic’ menus enable you to match your AVR280 to your speakers; the
‘Advanced’ menus allow you to optimise the operation of your system. Screen shots of these menus are
shown in shaded boxes on the following pages.
The best way to set up the AVR280 is using the on-screen display (OSD). To view the OSD for the initial
set up, use the composite video output to connect to your TV. This is because the high quality video
output has several display modes and may be incompatible with your high quality display device in its
default configuration. Note that no on-screen display is available over the HDMI connection.

Set-up mode

To enter the Set-up menus press and hold the

MENU

button on the remote control or on the front panel,

for at least two seconds. The ‘Set-up Menu Index’ is displayed on your display device.

Set-up Menu Index

The Set-up menu index page is the first page that is displayed when the Set-up menu is
entered. This page allows you access to the six ‘Basic’ and five ‘Advanced’ menus.

Navigating the Set-up menu

The Set-up menu can be navigated by using the cursor (arrow) keys on the remote
control. This is by far the easiest method.

1. To enter the Set-up menu, press and hold the

MENU

button (which is located

immediately under the navigation buttons) for at least two seconds, until the
Index page appears. (Pressing the menu button for just a short time will take
you to ‘Main Menu Screen 1’. If this happens, the Main Menu can be closed by pressing

MENU

for

a second time.)

2. When the menu heading is highlighted, using the

and

keys will navigate between menu

pages. Using this method to navigate between pages the first time the unit is being configured
will help to ensure that no pages are missed out.

3. Use the

and

keys to navigate up and down the menu lines.

4. To change the setting for a particular menu item, highlight the item then use the

D E

keys to

cycle through the options for that item.

5. Once you have set all the menu items on a page to have values that are appropriate for your

system, move the menu highlight to the top of the screen (the menu heading) and press

move to the next menu page.

6. At any time, press the

MENU

button to return to the main Set-up menu index screen.

7. To save the changes you have made, return to the Set-up menu index page and highlight the

‘Save Set-up’ item at the bottom of the screen. Press the

button to save the settings. Press

again to exit the Set-up menu.

In addition to the above method of moving from page to page using the

D E

keys, each menu page

can be accessed directly from the Set-up menu index page. This is achieved by using the cursor keys to
move the menu highlight to the desired page on the Index page, then pressing

and the volume control for left and right.
