SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 21

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

INPUT SETUP

line. Press the Set Button q and the

INPUT

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 430
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

INPUT 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.

Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box
or HDTV set-top may change between analog and
digital outputs, depending on which channel is in use.
The AVR 430’s Auto Polling feature allows you to
avoid losing the audio feed when this happens by
permitting both analog and digital connections to the
same source on the AVR. Digital audio is the default,
and the unit will automatically switch to the analog
audio if the digital audio stream stops.

In cases where only a digital source is used, you may
wish to disable the Auto Polling feature to prevent the
AVR from trying to “find” an analog source when the
digital source is paused. To turn Auto Polling off for
any input, first make certain that the ➔ cursor is
pointing to the

AUTO POLL line on the menu

screen. Next, press the

‹

›

Navigation Button o

so that

OFF is highlighted in reverse video. Repeat

the procedure at any time by highlighting

ON to

restore the Auto Polling feature.

When any changes to the Auto Polling configuration
are complete, press the

Navigation Button o

to go to the next setting.

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.

Audio Setup

This menu allows you to configure the tone controls
and to turn the upsampling on or off. If you do not
wish to change any of those settings at this time, pro-
ceed to the next menu screen. However, to make
configuration changes to those parameters, make cer-
tain that the

MASTER MENU is on the screen

with the ➔ cursor pointing to the

AUDIO

SETUP line, and press the Set Button q. The
AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 3) will appear.
