When using the full-OSD system to make the setup
adjustments, press the OSD Button
once so
that the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. The
➔ cursor will be next to the IN/OUT SETUP
line. Press the Set Button
q and the IN/OUT
SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen.
Press the
‹ / › Navigation Button o until the
desired input name appears in the highlighted video,
as well as being indicated in the front-panel Input
Indicators
!. When you are scrolling through the
list of available inputs you will hear a slight click from
time to time. This is normal, as it is caused by the
relay that is used to switch between the two
Component Video Inputs.
Figure 2
When one of the four Video inputs is selected as the
source, you have the option of renaming the input as it
appears in the on-screen and front panel messages.
This is helpful if you have more than one VCR, if you
wish to associate a specific product brand name with
the input, or to simply enter any name that will help
you to remember which source is being selected.
To change the input name, press the ⁄ / ¤
Navigation Button o on the remote so that the ➔
cursor is pointing to NAME. Next, press and hold
the Set Button q for a few seconds until a flashing
box appears to the right of the colon. Immediately
release the Set Button
q, as you are now ready
to enter the device name.
Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o and note
that a complete set of alpha-numeric characters will
appear with the start of the alphabet in capital letters
followed by the lower-case letters and then numbers
and symbols. When you press the
¤ Navigation
Button o, a series of symbols and numbers will
appear, followed by a reverse list of the alphabet in
lower-case letters. Press the button either way until the
first letter of the desired name appears. If you wish to
enter a blank space as the first character, press the
›
Navigation Button o.
When the desired character appears, press the ›
Navigation Button o and repeat the process for
the next letter, and continue until the desired name is
entered, up to a maximum of fourteen characters.
Press the Set Button q to enter the input name
into the system memory and to proceed with the con-
figuration process.
If your system includes any sources that are equipped
with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the AVR 630
is able to switch them to send the proper signals to
your video display. Each of the two Component
Video Inputs cd may be assigned to any source
for added system flexibility. The default setting is for
the Component Video 1 Jacks c to be assigned
to the DVD and 6/8-Channel Direct Inputs, with the
Component Video 2 Jacks d assigned to all other
inputs. If your system does not include component
video at this time, or if you do not need to change
these defaults, press the
¤ Navigation Button o
to go to the next setting.
To change the Component Video assignment, first
make certain that the ➔ cursor is pointing to the
COMPONENT IN line on the menu screen,
and then press the
‹/› Navigation Button o
until you see the desired input in the highlighted
video. The clicking noise that you will hear when the
component video inputs is switched is normal, due
to the relay used to ensure proper isolation between
the two inputs.
When the desired component input has been selected,
press the
¤ Navigation Button o to go to the
next setting.
If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with
the selected input source or change the default digital
input selection, press the
¤ Navigation Button o
on the remote while the IN/OUT SETUP
menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and the on-screen
cursor will drop down to the DIGITAL IN line.
Press the
‹ / › Navigation Button o until the
name of the desired digital input appears. To return
to the analog input, press the button until the word
ANALOG appears.
When configuring the digital input for a source device
such as a digital cable box or other set-top tuner
product with a digital audio output where you have
connected both the digital and analog outputs of the
source to the AVR, select the appropriate digital input
on this menu. The digital source will become the
default, and the AVR will always look there first to
see if a signal is present. However, if the digital data
stream is interrupted for any reason, the AVR will
automatically switch to the analog connection as a
backup. This is particularly useful when configuring
the connection for digital set top boxes, where some
channels feature digital sound, but others do not.
To change the digital input at any time using the dis-
crete function buttons and the semi-OSD system,
press the Digital Select Button
p on the remote.
Within five seconds, make your input selection using
the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until the desired
digital or analog input is shown in the Upper Display
Line
# and in the lower line of the on-screen dis-
play. Press the Set Button q to enter the new
digital input assignment.
An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to
switch front-panel coaxial digital audio and analog
audio/video jacks from their normal use as inputs to
output connections so that portable recording devices
may easily be connected. On the AVR 630, the
Coaxial 3 Digital Jack
L is normally an input, but
this may also be switched to a digital output for use
with CD-R/RW decks, MD recorders or other digital
recorders. To change the jack to an output, press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o while the IN/OUT
SETUP menu is on the screen until the ➔ cursor
is next to COAXIAL 3. Then press the
‹ / ›
Navigation Button o so that OUT is highlighted.
The Input/Output Status Indicator K will turn red,
indicating that the jack is now a record output.
NOTE: A signal will be sent to this jack only when the
input selected for use by the AVR 630 is digital. Digital
signals will be passed through regardless of their for-
mat, and which digital input (optical or coax) they are
fed from. However, analog signals are not converted to
digital, and the format of the signal (e.g., PCM, Dolby
Digital or DTS) may not be changed.
The front-panel analog Video 4 Inputs M are nor-
mally set as an input for use with camcorders, video
games and other portable audio/video products, but
they may be switched to an output for connection
to audio/video recorders. To temporarily switch them
to outputs, you must first be at the IN/OUT
SETUP menu. Press the
¤ Navigation Button
o until the on-screen ➔ cursor is pointing to the
VIDEO 4 line. Press the
› Navigation Button
o so that the word OUT is highlighted. The
Input/Output Status Indicator
K between the S-
and composite video jacks will turn red, indicating that
the analog Video 4 jacks are now record outputs.
Selection of the front-panel jacks as an output will
remain effective as long as the AVR 630 is on. Once
the unit is turned off, the jacks will revert to their nor-
mal use as an input when the unit is turned on again.
When all needed adjustments have been made, press
the
¤ Navigation Button o until the ➔ cursor is
next to BACK TO MASTER MENU to con-
tinue with the system configuration.
