setup menus

The Setup menus allow you to configure all aspects

of your AVR600. The next few pages will go through

the menu items and explain their function. The Setup

menus will probably look quite daunting if you are new

to setting up home cinema, but the majority of them

need only be configured once when you first install the

system (or if your system changes or you move house!)
The only way to view the Setup menus is on your display

device (TV or projector) using the on-screen display

(OSD) capability of the AVR600. To view the OSD for

the initial setting up, connect any of the video outputs

to your display device. You do not need to have a video

source connected to the AVR600 video inputs.

Entering Setup mode

To enter the setup menu, press the

MEnu

button on the

remote control or font panel. The front panel display

shows ‘MENU’ and the setup menu (pictured right) is

displayed.

Unstable oSd menu or picture display?

The default AVR600 output video resolution when first

powered up out of the box is 525-line/60Hz NTSC for

analogue video and 480i/60 for digital video. This has

been chosen as most display devices can synchronise

to this automatically. This can be changed in the Video

Outputs section of the Setup Menus.
If the output resolution and frame rate is forced to a

setting your display device does not support, the picture

may become unstable or may not display at all. To reset

the output video resolution and frame rate to the default

values to restore the display, press and hold the

button for three seconds.

navigating the setup menu

… using the remote control

The setup 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 setup menu, press the

MEnu

button

(which is located immediately under the navigation

buttons).

2. Use the

and

keys to navigate up and down

the main section headings in the left-hand panel.

3. Once you have the main section that you require

highlighted, use the

key to enter the section.

4. Use the

and

keys to navigate up and

down the section settings in the left-hand panel.

Some settings may be greyed out. These are either

for information only (e.g. incoming sampling

frequency) or are not currently selectable (e.g.

network IP address when DHCP is used). Scroll bars

on the sides of the right hand panel indicate your

position in the settings list where there are more

items than can be displayed at once.

5. Pressing

selects a setting to change it, pressing

again de-selects the setting.

6. At any time, press the

MEnu

button to exit the menu.

Any changes to settings are saved.

… using the keys on the front panel

The AVR600 front panel controls can be used to

configure the unit. Follow the instructions for using the

remote control, in this case using

inpuT–

for left,

inpuT+

for right,

VoluME–

for down and

VoluME+

for up.
