17 17 INTRODUCTION TO HOME THEA TER The A VR 254 may be the first multichannel surround sound receiver you have owned. Although it has more connections and features than 2-channel receivers , many of the principles are similar and the new concepts are easy to understand.
There are different types of audio and video connections used to connect the receiver to the speakers and video display , and to connect the source devices to the receiver . T o make it easier to keep them all straight, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA ® ) has established a color -coding standard.
19 19 CONNECTIONS Audio Connections There are two formats for audio connections: digital and analog . Digital audio signals are required for listening to sources encoded with digital surround modes , such as Dolby Digital and DTS , or for non-compressed PCM digital audio .
20 20 CONNECTIONS required for DVD-Audio players compliant with HDMI version 1.1 or better , or HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc players that decode the digital audio internally and output linear PCM signals in digital format. Consult the owner’s guide for your disc player for more information.
Figure 14 – AM Antenna T o enjoy XM satellite radio , purchase an XM antenna module designed for use with XM Ready devices and a subscription to the XM service . W e recommend the XM Mini T uner and Home Dock Bundle , available at www .xmradio .com.
22 SPEAKER PLACEMENT Before you begin to connect cables , it is important to place your speakers in their correct locations in the room. Optimally , the speakers should be placed in a circle with the listening position at its center . The distance from the listening position to the video display forms the radius of the circle .
23 SPEAKER PLACEMENT Subwoofer Placement The subwoofer’s location is less critical, since low-frequency sounds are omnidirectional. Placing the subwoofer close to a wall or in a corner will reinforce the low frequencies , and may create a “boomy” sound.
24 INST ALLA TION Y ou are now ready to connect the various components to the receiver . Before beginning , turn off all components , including the A VR 254, and unplug their power cords . Don’t plug in any of the power cords until you have finished making all of your connections.
25 INST ALLA TION HDMI Connections • Choose the HDMI connection if it’s available on your source device and your TV . A HDMI connection carries both digital audio and video , enabling a single-cable connection from the source device to the A VR. Except as noted below , no other audio or video connections are required.
26 INST ALLA TION • Connect the DVD player’s digital audio output to one of the Coaxial or Optical inputs on the A VR. If the player is capable of playing multichannel discs , including DVD-Audio .
27 INST ALLA TION Figure 26 – Connecting a Composite or S-Video Recorder • T o make two-channel digital audio recordings , connect the recorder’s digital audio output to one of the Optical or Coaxial Inputs , and con- nect the A VR’s Coaxial Digital Audio Output to the recorder’s coaxial input.
28 INST ALLA TION T o make analog audio recordings , connect the recorder’s left and right analog audio outputs to the Analog 2 Audio Inputs on the A VR, and the recorder’s analog audio inputs to the A VR’s Analog 2 Audio Outputs .
29 INST ALLA TION Figure 33 – Component Video Monitor Outputs Composite/S-Video: If the video display does not have HDMI or component video inputs , connect the corresponding composite or S-video Monitor Output to the display .
30 INST ALLA TION from the appendix table corresponding to the device and pro- gram it into the AUX Source Selector . Similarly , the CBL/SA T Source Selector is used for either a cable or satellite television set-top box. The first digit of the product code indicates the device type .
31 INST ALLA TION T o control more than one source device using the Remote IR Output, connect all sources in “daisy chain” fashion, with the A VR’s Remote IR Output connected to the first device’s Remote IR Input, the second device’s Remote IR Output connected to the next device’ s Remote IR Input, and so forth.
32 INST ALLA TION Figure 42 – A VR P ower On and Source Selectors NOTES: • Any time you press one of the Source Selectors on the remote (i.e ., Cable/Sat, DVD , Media Server , Radio , TV , Game or AUX), the remote will switch modes to transmit the codes programmed to operate that device .
33 INITIAL SETUP Before you begin enjoying your new receiver , a few adjustments should be made to configure the A VR 254 to match your actual system. Make sure that you have connected a video display to one of the video monitor outputs on the receiver .
34 INITIAL SETUP Figure 45 – Plug EzSet/EQ microphone into receiver . Step Three – Make sure that the A VR 254 and the video display are turned on. Press the AVR Settings Button to display the Main Menu. See Figure 43. Use the ¤ Button to highlight the Speaker Setup line , and then press the OK Button.
Step Five – During the next portion of the test, the EzSet/EQ procedure equalizes the A VR 254’s audio circuitry to compensate for the specific room characteristics and the performance capabilities of each individual speaker .
36 INITIAL SETUP Audio Input from source: Select this line to assign the correct analog or digital audio input to the source . Refer to T able A5 in the appendix, where you noted the physical audio input the source is connected to , and select the input here .
37 INITIAL SETUP Europe and elsewhere . The A VR 254 is capable of detecting P AL video sources and converting them to the NTSC format for display on American televisions . Adjust Lip Sync: Use this adjustment to resynchronize the audio and video signals from a source to eliminate a “lip sync” problem.
38 OPERA TION Now that you have installed your system components and completed a basic configuration of your receiver , you are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system. T urning On the AVR 254 Gently press the Master Power Switch until the word OFF is no longer visi- ble .
39 OPERA TION The DOLBY H:BYP ASS message indicates that Dolby Headphone surround processing is in the default bypass mode , which delivers a conventional 2-channel signal to the headphones .
40 OPERA TION T o tune a preset station, press the ‹ / › Buttons or the Channel Control, or press the Menu Button to view the list of programmed pre- sets and scroll to the desired selection. Press the OK Button to tune the station. Y ou may also enter the preset number using the Numeric Keys .
41 OPERA TION 2. Only PCM digital audio signals are available for recording . Proprietary for mats such as Dolby Digital and DTS may not be recorded using the digital audio connections , although if the source is connected to the A VR using analog audio connections , an analog recording may be made .
42 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS Much of the A VR 254’s performance is handled automatically , with little intervention required on your part. However , the A VR 254 is a sophisti- cated component, and is capable of being customized to suit your particular system and your tastes .
43 ADV ANCED FUNCTIONS The second number indicates whether any surround channels are present: “0” indicates that no surround information is present. “1” indicates that a matrixed surround signal is present. “2” indicates discrete left and right surround channels .
