selected.

<

A

uto: sets the

ouT 2

frame rate to be the preferred

frame rate that is requested by the display device for

the currently used resolution.

<

Follow Input forces the

ouT 2

frame rate to the same

as the input frame rate, regardless of the reported

capabilities of the display device.

Lipsync 2 –

(Information only) Displays how much lip

sync is automatically applied to HDMI output

ouT 2

to

compensate for video processing delays in the attached

display device. Not all display devices support this

function.
Out 1 & 2 Resolution –

This setting controls the

output resolution when both HDMI outputs are used

simultaneously. This setting is only valid if Output

Switching is set to Output 1 & 2.

<

The dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the

video processor can output. Resolutions that are

not supported by the connected display devices are

greyed out and cannot be selected.

<

Best: sets the HDMI output to be the highest

common resolution that is supported by both

display devices.

Out 1 & 2 Frame Rate –

This setting controls the

output frame rate when both HDMI outputs are used

simultaneously. This setting is only valid if Output

Switching is set to Output 1 & 2.

<

The dropdown list shows all the frame rates that the

video processor can output. Frame rates that are

not supported by the connected display devices at

the above resolution are greyed out and cannot be

selected.

<

Auto: sets the HDMI output to be the highest

preferred common frame rate that is supported by

both display devices for the above resolution.

<

Follow Input forces the

ouT 1 & 2

frame rate to

the same as the input frame rate, regardless of the

reported capabilities of the display device.

Lipsync 1 & 2 –

(Information only) Displays how much

lip sync is automatically applied to HDMI outputs

ouT 1

and

ouT 2

simultaneously to compensate for video

processing delays in the attached display devices. Not all

display devices support this function.

Mode

Lists the decode and downmix options you wish to

include when cycling through the options on the

MoDE

button. Settings are Yes or No. The list is divided into

two sections depending on the source audio type. See

section ‘Multichannel source modes’ on page 41 for

more information on each processing a decoding mode.
These settings are applied to all audio inputs and are

stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is

powered up.

For Stereo sources:

Dolby ProLogic –
Dolby PLIIx Movie –
Dolby PLIIx Music –
Dolby PLIIx Matrix –
Dolby PLIIx Game –
Neo:6 Cinema –
Neo:6 Music –
The first section, ‘Stereo sources’ is the list of processing

modes you wish to make available for stereo signals

(analogue stereo, digital PCM stereo, Dolby 2.0, DTS

2.0, etc). When a stereo signal is applied, each press of

the

MoDE

button cycles through the processing modes

you have enabled in the ‘Stereo sources’ section. The

unprocessed Stereo option is always available for stereo

signals therefore it is not shown in the list.

For Multichannel sources:

Stereo Downmix –
Dolby Digital EX –
Dolby PLIIx Movie –
Dolby PLIIx Music –

The second section, ‘Multichannel sources’ is the list

of processing modes you wish to make available for

multichannel digital signals (any Dolby or DTS digital

stream that has more channels than stereo 2.0). When a

multichannel digital signal is applied, each press of the

MoDE

button cycles through the processing modes you

have enabled in the ‘Multichannel sources’ section.

Zone Settings

Lists the volume and control settings for Zone 2 and

Zone 3 (Zone 3 available with AVR600/AV888 only).

These settings are applied to all audio inputs and are

stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is

powered up.
Z2 Audio Input

– Selects the analogue audio to be

routed to Zone 2.
Z2 Video Output

– Selects the analogue video to be

routed to Zone 2 for the current audio input.
Zone 2 Volume

– The current volume in Zone 2.

Zone 2 Max. Vol

– Limits the maximum volume setting

the system can be turned up to in the Zone 2. This is a

useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low

power-handling speakers, for example.
Zone 2 Fixed Vol

– The Zone 2 volume control can be

locked at the current value for use with an external

amplifier with its own volume control in Zone 2.
Zone 2 Max On Vol

– Limits the maximum volume the

system operates in the Zone 2 when it is switched on

or comes out of Standby. The system comes on at this

volume if the last used (possibly very loud) volume

exceeds this value.
Zone 3 Volume

– The current volume in Zone 3.

Zone 3 Max. Vol

– Limits the maximum volume setting

the system can be turned up to in the Zone 3. This is a

useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low

power-handling speakers (for example).
Zone 3 Fixed Vol

– The Zone 3 volume control can be

locked at the current value for use with an external

amplifier with its own volume control in Zone 3.
Zone 3 Max On Vol

– Limits the maximum volume the

system operates in the Zone 3 when it is switched on

or comes out of Standby. The system comes on at this

volume if the last used (possibly very loud) volume

exceeds this value.
Standby

– When a Standby command is received by an

infra-red eye in Zone 2, this setting controls which parts

of the AVR500, AVR600 or AV888 to turn on and off:
When Local Only, the Standby IR command only affects

the zone it was received in (Zone2 or Zone3).
When All Off, the Standby IR command affects the

entire system in all zones.

network

The AVR600 and AV888 are fitted with a network audio

client (optional for the AVR500) which is capable of

playing internet radio stations as well as stored music

on a network storage device such as a PC, or on a USB

flash drive.
Use DHCP –

Select if your network uses DHCP

<

No: To assign a fixed IP address manually.

<

Yes: To use network parameters given by the DHCP

server.

MAC address –

(Information only) The unique address

of the network card in your AVR500/AVR600/AV888.
IP Address –

If not using DHCP, enter the IP address

you have assigned to the AVR500/AVR600/AV888 for

your network.
Subnet Mask –

If not using DHCP, enter the subnet

mask for the AVR500/AVR600/AV888 on your network.
Gateway –

If not using DHCP, enter the IP address of

the router the AVR500/AVR600/AV888 is connected to.
Primary DNS –

If not using DHCP, enter the Primary

DNS IP address of your internet service provider.
Alternate DNS –

If not using DHCP, enter the Secondary

DNS IP address of your internet service provider.
Use Proxy –

Select if you connect to the network via a

Proxy Server.

<

No: If you connect directly onto the network.

<

Yes: If you connect to the network via a Proxy

Server.

Proxy Address –

If connecting via a Proxy Server, enter

its IP address.
Proxy Port –

If connecting via a Proxy Server, enter the

port number to which the Proxy responds.
