EXAMPLE ­ (bold type) indicates a specific remote control or front-panel button, or rear-panel connection jack EXAMPLE ­ (OCR type) indicates a message that is visible on the front-panel information display 1 ­ (number in a square) indicates a specific front-panel control 0 ­ (number in a circle) indicates a rear-panel connection 0 ­ (number in an oval) indicates a button or indicator on the remote å ­ (letter in an oval) indicates a button on the Zone II remote The appearance of the text or cursor for your receiver's on-screen menus may vary slightly from the illustrations in this manual. [. . . ] You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater. Within five seconds, either press the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote to select a different speaker position, or press the Set Button @F to begin the adjustment process for the front left and right speakers. When the Set button @ F has been pressed and the system is ready for a change to the front speaker setting, the on-screen display and Main Information Display Ò will read FRONT LARGE or FRONT SMALL depending on the current setting. Press the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote until the desired setting is shown, using the instructions for "large" or "small" shown earlier, then press the Set button @F. If another speaker position needs to be changed, press the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote to select a different speaker position, press the Set button @ F and then the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote until the correct speaker setting is shown and press the Set button @ F again to confirm the selection. To assist in making these settings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators $ will change as the speaker type is selected at each position. When only the inner icon box is lit, the speaker is set for "small. When the inner box " and the two outer boxes with circles inside them are lit, the speaker is set for "large. " When no indicator appears at a speaker location, that position is set for "none" or "no" speaker. Note: These icons are available only when making setup changes without the use of the full OSD mode. As an example, in the Figure below, all speakers are set for "large, " and a subwoofer is set. 24 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 30935_AVR145_ENG 01/12/06 9:53 Side 25 System Configuration To change the settings, follow the instructions below to enter the distance between the speaker's location and your main listening position. The measurements need not be accurate to the inch, as the system is designed to accommodate typical listening rather than a specific "sweet spot" position. In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individual speaker position, the AVR is among the few A/V receivers that allows you to adjust the delay for the combined output of all speakers as a group. This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it allows you to compensate for delays to the video image that may be caused by the processing in products such as digital video displays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite systems, or personal video recorders. With proper adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital video applications. The setting for A/V Sync Delay may only be done manually, since it requires that you observe the program material on your video display while adjusting the delay, if any, required for the specific source. The A/V Sync Delay should still be configured as outlined below. To re-synchronize the front, center and surround channels at first measure and note the distance from the listening/viewing position to the front, center and surround (if any) speakers in meters. Due to the differences in the way each surround mode operates, the delay settings must be established individually for each surround mode. However, once the delay settings are configured for the version of the surround mode with the most channels, they need not be entered again for a version of that mode with fewer channels. However, you will need to enter the delay settings separately for each variant mode, such as Dolby Pro Logic II ­ Music, Dolby Pro Logic II ­ Game, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo. Delay times are adjustable for all surround modes. Although all channels will appear on screen with the default or previously entered distances, the menu system will only allow you to adjust the settings for those channels which are actually used by the current surround mode.
