Note that the Power Indicator 2 will turn amber, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode. 3. Remove the protective plastic film from the front- panel lens. If left in place, the film will affect the performance of your remote control. 4. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that are on the top of the battery compartment. 5. Turn the AVR 230 on either by pressing the Standby/On Switch 2 on the front panel, or via the remote by pressing the Power On Button d, the AVR Selector f or any of the Input Selectors eg on the remote. When the unit is turned on, the entire list of options will briefly light for both the Input Indicators . and the Surround Mode Indicators .. After a few seconds, the majority of those indicators will go dark, leaving only the indications for the active surround mode and input illuminated. The Display Lines .. will display the unit’s status, the Power Indicator 2 will turn blue, and the accent light inside the Volume Control U will also light up to remind you that the unit is turned on. Using the On-Screen Display When making the following adjustments, you may find it easier to use the AVR 230’s on-screen display system. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear picture of the current status of the unit and make it easy to see which speaker, delay, input or digital selection you are making. To view the on-screen menus, make certain that you have made a connection from the Video or S-Video Monitor Out Jack b 31 on the rear panel to the composite or S-Video input of your TV or projector. In order to view the AVR 230’s displays, the correct video source must be selected on the video display. The on-screen menus are not available when a component video display is in use. IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or any direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important that they not be left on the screen for an extended period of time. The constant display of a static image such as these menus or video game images may cause the image to be permanently “burned into” the projection tubes, plasma screen or CRT. This type of damage is not covered by the AVR 230 warranty and may not be covered by the projector/TV set’s warranty. The AVR 230 has two on-screen display modes, “Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making configuration adjustments, it is recommended that the Full-OSD mode be used. This will place an option listing on the screen, making it easier to view the available options. Making Configuration Adjustments The full-OSD system is available by pressing the OSD Button v. When this button is pressed, the MASTERMENU(Figure 1) will appear, and adjustments are made from the individual menus. * MASTER MENU * INPUT SETUP SURROUND SELECT SPEAKER SETUP DELAY ADJUST CHANNEL ADJUST ADVANCED Figure 1 The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you to make adjustments directly, by pressing the appropriate buttons on the front panel or remote control for the specific parameter to be adjusted. For example, to change the digital input for any of the sources, press the Digital Select Button q and then press the ./¤ Buttons n to scroll through the list of options as they appear in the on-screen display or the Lower Display Line .. To use the full-OSD menu system, press the OSD Button v. When the menu is on the screen, press the ./¤ Buttons n until the on-screen › cursor is next to the item you wish to adjust, and then press the Set Button p to adjust that item. The menus will remain on the screen for 20 seconds, and then they will “time-out” and disappear from the screen. The time-out may be increased to as much as 50 seconds by going to the ADVANCEDmenu, and changing the item titled FULLOSDTIMEOUT. When the full-OSD menu system is used, OSDON will appear in the Upper Display Line . to remind you that a video display must be used. When the semi-OSD system is used in conjunction with the discrete configuration buttons, the on-screen display will show the current menu selection. That selection will also be shown in the Upper Display Line . or the Lower Display Line ., depending on which parameter is being adjusted. Setting the System Configuration Memory The AVR 230 features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different configurations for the digital input, surround mode, delay times and output levels for each input source. This flexibility enables you to customize the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR 230 memorize those settings. This means, for example, that you may use different output levels or trims for different sources. Once these settings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever you select that input. In addition to the settings listed above, which always vary with the input, you may also choose to set different speaker configurations for size and crossover frequency for each input.
