20 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

n addition to the previously mentioned settings, which
always vary with the input, you may also choose to set
different speaker size configurations for each input. In
most cases, this is not required, thus the factory
d
efault keeps these settings the same for all inputs.
However, should you wish to have these settings
c
hange for any one, or all, inputs, follow the instruc-
tions shown on page 27 to select the Independent
mode for speaker configuration.
The first time you use the AVR 240, we recommend
that you take advantage of the simplicity of configuring
the system using the EzSet+ process, which takes the
guesswork out of speaker size and delay settings, and
balances the speaker output levels to tailor the AVR’s
sound presentation to your specific system and room.
Before beginning the EzSet+ procedure, there are a
few adjustments that need to be made to ensure
accurate results.
The factory default settings for the AVR 240 have all
inputs configured for an analog audio input except
for the DVD input, where the
Coaxial Digital Audio
Input 1
b is the default, and the Video 2 input,
where the
Optical Digital Audio Input 1 g is the
default. The default speaker settings are for “Small”
at all positions, and the subwoofer on.
The default surround mode setting for all sources
using an analog input is the Logic 7 Music mode.
Dolby Digital or DTS will always be automatically
selected anytime a source with digital encoding in that
format is in use. When a Dolby Digital 2.0 source is
detected, the AVR 240 will automatically add Dolby
Pro Logic II or IIx processing. Once a surround mode
is selected for a particular source, the AVR 240 will
default to that surround mode the next time the source
is selected, unless the input signal is in a Dolby Digital
or DTS digital format. For Dolby Digital and DTS mate-
rials, the AVR 240 will default to the surround mode
encoded in the bitstream. As explained on pages
35–36,
you may select from a limited number of
other surround modes for these materials. If you wish
to have the AVR 240 default to one of these alternate
surround modes each time a Dolby Digital or DTS
source is encountered, you may use the Default
Surround Mode setting in the
ADVANCED
SELECT
submenu (see page 39).
Before using the unit, you will probably want to pro-
gram the settings for most inputs so that they are
properly configured to reflect the use of digital or ana-
log audio inputs, component video inputs and the sur-
round mode specifics of your home theater system.
Remember that since the
A
VR
240 memorizes these
settings for each input independently, you will need to
make some of these adjustments for each input used.
However
,
once they are made, further adjustment is
only required when system components are changed.
T
o make this process as quick and easy as possible,
w
e suggest that you use the full-OSD system with the
on-screen menus, and step through each input. It is
also a good idea to set the configuration data in the
order these items are listed in the
MASTER
M
ENU
,
as some settings require a specific entry
in a prior menu item. It is recommended that you
record your settings for each input using the work-
sheets in the appendix to this manual, in the event
t
here is a power loss or if you need to reenter the
s
ettings for some other reason.
Input Setup
The first step in configuring the AVR 240 is to configure
each input. Once an input is configured,
all settings for
the Digital Input, Component Video Input and Surround
Mode will “attach” themselves to that input and be
stored in a nonvolatile memory. The later selection of
that input will automatically recall those settings. For
that reason, the procedures described below must be
repeated for each input source so that you have the
opportunity to customize each source to your specific
listening requirements. However, once made, they
need not be changed again unless you need to alter
a setting.
When using the full-OSD system to make the setup
adjustments, press the
OSD Button v once so that
the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. The
›
cursor will be next to the INPUT SETUP line.
Press the
Set Button p to enter the menu and the
INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on
the screen. Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons o until the
desired input name appears in the highlighted video,
as well as being indicated in the front-panel
Input
Indicators
Ú. If the input will use the standard left/
right analog inputs and will not use component video,
no further adjustment is needed.
NOTE: The DIGITAL IN line will default to
COAXIAL 1 when the DVD input is selected.
Similarly, when the Video 2 input is selected,
the
DIGITAL IN line will default to
OPTICAL 1.

The AVR 240 offers you the opportunity to rename
any source (except the tuner) to customize it for your
particular equipment configuration,
e
.g. to designate
t
he source input to which you have connected a VCR,
o
r a DVD-Audio player. This name will appear in the
Upper Display Line P and in the on-screen display
whenever that source input is selected. If you wish to
rename a source, press the
¤ Button n until the
› c
ursor is pointing to the
N
AME:
l
ine. Press the
Set Button p. A flashing box will appear. Press the
⁄ Button n to scroll through the letters of the
alphabet first in upper case, then in lower case, then
t
he numerals 0 through 9, and then followed by the
s
ymbols ! ‘ ( ) * + , - . / ; < = > ? [ ] and then a
blank space. Use the
¤ Button n to scroll in the
reverse order. Use the
‹/› Buttons o to move
from one character to the previous or following char-
acter. You may create a name of up to 14 characters,
including spaces. Press the
Set Button p when
you have finished entering the name, and then press
the
¤ Button n to proceed to the next setting.
If your system includes any sources that are equipped
with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the AVR 240
is able to switch them to send the proper signals to
your video display. Each of the two
Component
Video Inputs
›fi may be assigned to a source for
added system flexibility. The
Component Video 1
Input
› may be assigned to any one of the DVD,
Tuner, CD or Tape inputs. The
Component Video 2
Input
fi may be assigned to any one of the Video 1
(VCR), Video 2 (Cable/Sat), Video 3 (TV) or 6/8-
Channel Direct inputs. If your system does not include
component video at this time, or if you do not need to
change these defaults, press the
¤ Button n 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
‹/› Buttons o until you see the
desired input.
When the desired component video
input has been selected, press the
¤ Button n
to go to the next setting.
If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with
the selected input source
,
press the
¤
Button n
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
‹
/
›
Buttons o until the name of the desired
digital input appears. To return to the analog input,
press the buttons until the word
ANALOG appears.
When the correct digital input jack appears, press the
¤
Button n once so that the
›
cursor appears
next to
BACK
TO MASTER MENU
,
and
press the
Set Button p.
T
o change the digital input at any time using the dis-
crete function buttons and the semi-OSD system,
press the
Digital Select Button q on the remote.
Within five seconds, make your input selection using
