Installation and Connections 6. If your DVD player and monitor both have component video connections, connect the component outputs of the DVD player to the DVD Component Video Inputs ¶. Note that even when component video connections are used the audio connections should still be made to either the analog DVD Audio Inputs j or any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Input jacks °·. 7. If another component video device is available, connect it to the Video 2 Component Video Input jacks §.
Installation and Connections External Audio Power Amplifier Connections If desired, the AVR 7000 may be connected to optional, external audio power amplifiers or used with equalizers or speaker systems that require connection between the preamp and amplifier sections of a receiver. AC Power Connections This unit is equipped with three accessory AC outlets. They may be used to power accessory devices, but they should not be used with highcurrent draw equipment such as power amplifiers.
System Configuration Speaker Selection and Placement The placement of speakers in a multichannel home-theater system can have a noticeable impact on the quality of sound reproduced. No matter which type or brand of speakers is used, the same model or brand of speaker should be used for the front left, center and front right speakers.
System Configuration System Setup Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps in the setup process are to program the AVR 7000’s bass management system for the type of speakers used in your system, calibrate the output levels, and set the delay times used by the surround sound processor. You are now ready to power up the AVR 7000 to begin these final adjustments. 1. Plug the Power Cable › into an unswitched AC outlet. 2.
System Configuration the settings for the first input, many settings may be duplicated for the remaining inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configuration data in the order these items are listed in the Main Audio Setup Menu, as some settings require a specific entry in a prior menu item. desired digital input name appears. To return to the ANALOG input, press the buttons until the word analog appears.
System Configuration specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater. The factory setting is appropriate for most rooms, but some installations create an uncommon distance between the front and surround speakers that may cause the arrival of front channel sounds to become disconnected from surround channel sounds. To resynchronize the front and surround channels, follow these steps: 1. Measure the distance from the listening position to the front speakers. 2.
System Configuration only available when specially encoded Dolby Digital signals are played. To adjust the Night mode setting for an input from the menu, make certain that the › cursor is on the Night line of the SURROUND SETUP menu. Next, press ‹/› buttons j 29 to choose between the following settings. OFF: When OFF is in the highlighted video, the Night mode will not function. MID: When MID is in the highlighted video, a mild compression will be applied.
System Configuration Press the ‹/› buttons j 29 on the remote to select the option that best describes your system. Select YES if a subwoofer is connected to your system. Select NO if a subwoofer is NOT connected to your system. Note that when no subwoofer is selected, low frequency sounds below 100Hz will be sent to the front left and front right speakers, provided that the left and right speakers have been set to LARGE. Otherwise, no low frequency sounds will be heard at all.
System Configuration certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal. After checking for speaker placement, let the test noise circulate again, and listen to see which channels sound louder than the others. Using the front left speaker as a reference, press the ‹/› buttons j 29 on the remote to bring all speakers to the same volume level.
Operation Basic Operation Once you have completed the setup and configuration of the AVR 7000, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions should be followed for you to maximize your enjoyment of your new receiver: • When using the AVR 7000 for the first time, you must press the Main Power Switch 1 on the front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3 .
Operation Surround Mode Chart MODE FEATURES DELAY TIME RANGE DOLBY DIGITAL Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low Frequency Effects channel. Center: 0 ms – 5 ms Initial Setting – 0 ms Surround: 0 ms – 15 ms Initial Setting – 0 ms DTS Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data.
Operation programs and standard stereo programs. In all, a total of ten listening modes are available on the AVR 7000. Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source material being used.
Operation example, DTS bitstreams will cause the unit to switch to DTS decoding, and Dolby Digital bitstreams will enable Dolby Digital decoding. When the unit senses PCM data, as is present from CDs and LDs, the unit will allow the appropriate surround sources to be selected manually. Since the range of available surround modes is dependant on the type of digital data that is present, the AVR 7000 uses a variety of indicators to let you know what type of signal is present.
Operation 5. When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing, it is not possible to make an analog recording using the Tape ‚ and VID 1 h record outputs. However, the digital signals will be passed through to the digital audio outputs ‡. PCM Audio Playback PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the noncompressed digital audio system used for compact discs and laser discs.
Operation Output Level Trim Adjustment Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 7000 is established using the test tone, as outlined on page 23. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to adjust the output levels using program material such as a test disc, or a selection you are familiar with. Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer can only be adjusted using this procedure.
Advanced Features The AVR 7000 is equipped with a number of advanced features that add extra flexibility to the unit’s operation. While it is not necessary to use these features to operate the unit, they provide additional options that you may wish to use.
Advanced Features the ‹/› buttons j 29 until the desired volume level is shown on the DEFAULT VOL SET line. Note that this setting may not be made with the regular volume controls. NOTE: Since the setting for the turn-on volume cannot be heard while the setting is being made, you may wish to determine the setting before making the adjustment. To do this, listen to any source and adjust the volume to the desired level using the regular volume controls * 32 ˙.
Multiroom Operation The AVR 7000 is fully equipped to operate as the control center for a sophisticated audio/video multiroom system with optional remote external Infrared (IR) sensors, speakers and power amplifiers. Although some multiroom installations will require the services of a specially trained installer, it is possible for the average do-it-yourself hobbyist to install a simple remote room system.
Programming the Remote The AVR 7000 is equipped with a powerful remote control that will control not only the receiver’s functions, but also most popular brands of audio and video equipment, including CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theater equipment.
Programming the Remote Learning Codes In addition to using codes from the remote’s internal code library, the AVR 7000’s remote is able to “learn” codes from remotes that may not be in the code library. In addition, you may use this function to “learn over” the codes from a preprogrammed device to add functions not included in the preprogrammed codes. To learn or transfer codes from an IR remote to the AVR 7000’s remote, follow these steps: 1.
Programming the Remote Programmed Device Functions Once the AVR 7000’s remote has been programmed for the codes of other devices, press the appropriate Input or Video Selector c 34 to change the remote from controlling the AVR 7000 to controlling the additional product. When you press any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled.
Programming the Remote 3. Press either the AVR b or the TV Device Control Selector 34 , depending on which system’s volume control you wish to have attached for the punch-through mode. Note that the red light under the AVR button or Device Control Selector will blink twice and then go out to confirm the data entry. Example: To have the AVR’s volume control activated even though the remote is set to control the TV, first press the TV Device Control Selector bc and the Mute button f at the same time.
