setup menus

The Setup menus allow you to configure all aspects of

your AVR600 or AV888. 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 unit. 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 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/AV888 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 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.
