Manual Speaker Setup, System Settings

Listening in Zone 2

With the multizone system in use, you may enjoy an exciting 5.1-channel home
theater presentation in the main listening area, while others listen to the same
program or an entirely different source in another room. See Install a Multizone
System
, on page 21, for installation information.

You control the AVR’s multizone system from the on-screen Zone 2 menu. Press the
Setup button, and use the Up/Down buttons to navigate to the Zone 2 line. Press the
OK button to display the Zone 2 menu.

Zone 2

Status: This line lets you turn Zone 2 on or off.

Source: This line lets you select the source input for Zone 2. You may select a
different source from the one currently operating in the main listening area. However,
if the same source has been selected for both the main listening area and Zone 2,
listeners in both areas will hear the same content.

NOTE: Only analog audio sources, including The Bridge IIIP and USB devices, are
available to the multizone system. To hear digital devices such as a CD player in
Zone 2, follow these steps:

1. In addition to making a digital audio connection, connect the source device’s

analog audio outputs to the AVR. Make a note in Table A5 on page 47 to record
which set of analog inputs you used.

2. In the Info menu, scroll down to the Zone 2 Audio setting and select the analog

audio input. (Leave the Audio Input From Source set to the digital input.)

Volume: Highlight this line, and use the Left/Right buttons to control the volume in
Zone 2.

Assigned AMP: This line lets you assign the Assigned AMP channels to “Zone 2”
for multizone operation (see Number of Speakers, on page 37). When this line is set
to Zone 2, you may configure the main listening room for only up to 5.1 channels.

To operate the multizone system using the main remote, slide the Zone Select Switch
at the bottom of the remote to the “2” position.

AVR 3650/AVR 365 only: To select a zone using the Zone 2 remote, press the
Zone Selector, and the Zone Indicator light will turn green when the remote is set to
operate Zone 1 or red to operate Zone 2.

System Settings

The AVR’s System Settings menu lets you customize in what way many of the AVR’s
features operate. Press the Setup button and navigate to the System line. Press the
OK button to display the System Settings menu.

Front-Panel Dimmer: This control sets the brightness of the AVR’s front-panel
message display. Select from 100%, 50%, 25% or Off. The light inside the Volume
Control will go out when the display is partly or fully dimmed, but the Power Indicator
will always remain lit to remind you that the AVR is powered on.

HDMI Settings

HDMI Audio to TV: This setting determines whether HDMI audio signals are passed
through the HDMI Monitor Out connector to the video display. In normal operation,
leave this setting at Off, as audio will be played through the AVR. To use the TV by
itself, without the home theater system, turn this setting to On. In this case you will
need to mute the TV’s speakers (or switch the setting to Off) when using the AVR for
audio.

HDMI Control: This setting allows the communication of control information
among the HDMI devices in your system. Turn this setting to On to allow control
communication between the HDMI devices; turn the setting to Off to forbid control
communication.

Audio Return Channel: Selecting “Auto” will send audio from the TV to the AVR
via the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection (which is in the HDMI cable
connecting the AVR to the TV). The TV source’s “Audio Input from Source” will be
automatically reassigned to the HDMI ARC connector. This way, whenever you’re
watching a source that is connected directly to your TV (such as an Internet
connection), you can listen to the sound through the AVR.

Power Control: This setting links the power on/off functions of the AVR to those of
a TV connected to its HDMI Monitor Out connector. When Power Control is set to On,
turning the TV’s power off will automatically put the AVR into the Standby mode;
turning the TV’s power on will automatically turn the AVR on. NOTE: The connected
TV must support the HDMI System Standby CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).

TV Control: This setting extends some audio-control functions between the AVR and
a TV connected to its HDMI Monitor Out connector. When TV Control is set to On, if the
TV is set to use external speakers, the TV’s internal speakers will mute, and you can
use the TV’s remote to control the AVR’s volume up/down and mute functions. If the
TV is set to use its internal speakers, the AVR’s output will automatically mute. NOTE:
The connected TV must support the HDMI Remote Control/System Audio Control CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control).
