System Setup
Once the speakers have been placed in
the room and connected, the final step
is to enter the configuration information
and balance the speaker output levels.
Before proceeding further this is a good
time to review the installation section
of the manual to make certain that all
connections are properly made.
1. Plug the unit into an AC wall outlet
and press the Power button on either
the front panel 1 or the remote c.
Note that the ring surrounding the front
panel switch will turn green, and the
front panel display will illuminate.
2. Install the supplied AAA batteries in
the remote as shown on page 15.
3. Turn on the TV connected to the
receiver. Select the appropriate video
input on the TV.
Note: Although the unit will switch
S-Video signals, the on-screen menus
control system is NOT visible on the
S-Video output.
4. Press the Select button j on the
remote to bring the MAIN MENU up on
your video screen.
5. Press the ¤ button four times until
the on-screen cursor
>
is pointing to
SET UPMENU (see figure #1).
6. Press Select j to move to the
next screen, SET UPMENU 1 (see
figure #2).
7. SET UPMENU 1 enters the
information that tells the AVR85 which
type of front and surround speakers
will be used. In turn, these settings will
determine which speakers receive low
frequency (bass) information. For the
purposes of establishing proper bass
reproduction, use the LARGE settings if
the speaker being used at any position
is a traditional full-range loudspeaker
that is capable of reproducing sounds
below 100Hz. Use the SMALL setting for
smaller, frequency-limited satellite
speakers that are not able to reproduce
sounds below 100Hz. Note that when
“small” speakers are used it is advisable
to install a separate subwoofer.
8. Enter the information for the FRONT
CH. speaker by using the ‹ or › buttons
i on the remote to select the type of
front channel speaker that will be used.
Press the buttons so that LARGE or
SMALL is highlighted to match the
speaker type you will use as described in
item #7 above. The LARGE setting sends a
full-range output to the front left/right
speakers, while the SMALL setting sends
low-frequency sounds to the subwoofer
output. When the selection has been
made, press the ¤ button once so that
the on-screen cursor
>
is pointing
to the SURROUND CH. line of the
display.
