SYSTEM PLANNING The Audioaccess W.H.E.N. System is made up of three main system components, (AVR21EN Processor/Controller, AVH21 A/V Hub, WPS21 Power Hub) and three user interfaces (AVR21ENR1 Main Room Remote, KP21 Keypad, KP21R Remote Room Remote). When designing a whole house system, careful planning must be made to be sure the system has been designed properly, gets installed and configured properly and most important, works the way the homeowner wants the system to work.
SYSTEM PLANNING Remote Rooms The AVR21EN has a special Multiroom Link that provides a network connection to the AVH21 Audio/Video Hubs via CAT5e cable. The Multiroom Link feeds digital audio to the AVH21s for distribution to the KP21 Keypads and receives control signals from the remote rooms for zone, source and system control. Each AVH21 requires a WPS21 Power Hub. The WPS21 provides individual power terminals to provide power to the AVH21 A/V Hub and each of the keypads connected to that AVH21.
PRE-WIRE As part of System Planning, full consideration should be given to the wiring infrastructure that will be required to utilize the maximum capabilities of the Audioaccess W.H.E.N. Main Room This section is an overview of the pre-wiring that that should be done during construction and prior to installation for the Main Room section of the system. Speakers (Front, Side, Rear) Pull quality, 16AWG, 2-conductor stranded speaker wire from each speaker location to the AVR21EN.
PRE-WIRE Remote Rooms This section is an overview of the pre-wiring that that should be done during construction and prior to installation for the Remote Room sections of the system. NOTE: This section assumes that the AVR21EN, AVH21(s) and WPS21(s) are all in the same location.

When the desired character appears, press the ► Navigation Button [oval 16] and repeat the process for the next letter. Continue until the desired name is entered, up to 14 characters. When the name is complete, press the Set Button [oval 18] to enter it into the system memory. Repeat for all Inputs where specific Source Names are desired.
When the AVR21EN is configured for 7.1-channel operation, and the SURR BACK line of the SPEAKER SETUP menu is set to SMALL or LARGE, additional modes such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx and DTS-ES will appear, as they are only available when seven main speakers are present. In addition, some of the modes available in the AVR21EN will not appear unless a digital source is selected and is playing the correct bitstream.
When all settings for the surround setup have been made, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] so that the cursor is next to BACK TO MAIN ROOM, and press the Set Button [oval 18] to return to the MAIN ROOM SETUP. DTS With DTS selected in SOURCES 1/AUDIO MODE , the selection choices made with the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] on the remote are determined by a combination of the type of program material in use and whether the 5.1- or 7.1- channel configuration is selected in System Configuration.
SURROUND OFF + DSP is selected, you will still have a two-channel presentation, but bass management is applied. You may also select a 5 CH STEREO and 7 CH STEREO mode, depending on how many speakers are available. These two modes feed a two channel presentation to the front left/right and surround speakers, as stereo pairs, with a mix of the left and right channels fed to the center speakers.
your video screen, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] until the on-screen cursor is pointing to MAIN ROOM SETUP and press the Set Button [oval 18] again. The MAIN ROOM SETUP will appear on-screen. Press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] until the on-screen cursor is pointing to SOURCES and press the Set Button [oval 18] again.

LEVEL and then press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] to enter the setting that delivers the best image to your eyes on the scale of 0 to 100. Noise Reduction: When this setting is turned on, there is a reduction in the video noise that is often present in analog input sources. X-Color Suprression: When this setting is on, there is a reduction in the crosscolor interference that typically appears in composite video sources as moiré in finely detailed objects.
Figure 22 Video Settings 3 Screen Brightness: The changes to this setting are similar to the Brightness control on your display, changing the video level. If circumstances are such that a source has a low signal and appears dark you may wish to change this setting, but be careful not to increase it to the point where the video display is over-driven into clipping or blooming.
Step 2: The EzSet/EQ microphone should be placed in either your usual listening position or, if there is a large seating area, the center of the room, at the listeners’ ear level. You may find it convenient to use a camera tripod for stable placement of the EzSet/EQ microphone at the correct height. The microphone includes a threaded insert on the bottom for tripod mounting.
Figure 24 EzSet/EQ Warning IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone with hearing that is sensitive to loud noises should leave the room at this point, or use ear protection sufficient to reduce the noise level. Inexpensive foam-style ear plugs, available at most drug stores, may be used to reduce the sound level to a tolerable level.
Step 8: Once EzSet/EQ has been started, you will hear test signals circulate among all of the speakers as the system sets the master volume level, checks for the presence of speakers, sets the distance measurement and calculates delay time settings, sets the output level for each speaker, sets the speaker “size”, and sets the speaker crossover point, and automatically equalizes the frequency response to eliminate any artifacts or reverberation that may occur due to the specific room characteristics, such as
• Speaker Crossover: The measurements and calculations for this test take place at the same time as the test signal is circulated to calculate the levels, and they are used to determine the crossover setting for each speaker in your system to create a seamless transition between the frequencies sent to your main speakers and subwoofer (if available).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the surround channels. While some assume that sound should always be coming from each speaker, most of the time there will be little or no sound in the surround channels. This is because they are only used when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound there to create ambience, a special effect or to continue action from the front of the room to the rear.
EzSet ACTIVATE: To configure system speaker settings, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] to move the cursor next to: CONFIG AND BASS MGR. Press the Set Button. The SPEAKER CONFIGURATION AND BASS MANAGER screen will appear. (Figure 27) Figure 27 Speaker Configuration Screen Speaker Configuration and Bass Management Begin the speaker setup process by making certain that the cursor is pointing at the FRONT line, which sets the configuration for the front left and right speakers.
When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] to move the cursor to SIDE SURROUND. Press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] to select the option that best describes the surround speakers in your system based on the definitions shown on this page. When SMALL is selected, low-frequency surround channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only.
• If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR21EN, you have the option to have the front left/right main speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the subwoofer operate only when the AVR21EN is being used with a digital source that contains a dedicated low-frequency effects, or LFE, soundtrack. This allows you to use both your main and subwoofer speakers to take advantage of the special bass sounds created for some movies. Press ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] until SUB (LFE) appears.
Speaker Crossovers To change the setting for any of the four speaker groups, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] until the cursor is next to the speaker group where you wish to make a change and then press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] until the desired setting appears. The available choices for low-frequency information to be sent to the subwoofer, rather than to the main speaker channel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz and 200Hz.
MAIN ROOM to make other selections and then press the Set Button [oval 18]. To exit setup, Press the Exit Button [oval 17] on the remote. Speaker Distances (Delay) Due to the different distances between the listening position and each speaker position, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from each channel is different.
With the on-screen cursor pointing to FRONT, press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] until the distance from the front speakers to the preferred listening position is entered. Next, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] to move the cursor to CENTER and use the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] again to enter the distance from the main listening position to the center speaker.
When all delay settings made using the menu system have been completed, press the ▼/▲Navigation Button [oval 16] until the cursor is pointing to the BACK TO MAIN MENU line and press the Set Button [oval 18]. REC OUT The REC OUT line gives you the opportunity to select which type of audio signal is directed to the Record Output Jacks associated with VR [square 5], and AUX [square 8]. The default setting is ANALOG, which will send the analog signal from any source to all three sets of analog record outputs.
Screen Type CRT: This setting is optimized for use with displays that use cathode ray tubes (CRTs) to display images. For the purposes of this setting it does not matter if the display is a single tube, direct view CRT television or a three-tube front or rear projector. The default aspect ratio is 4:3, but you may change that setting if desired in the VIDEO MONITOR SETTINGS screen.
Out Aspect Ratio This setting selects between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio as described in Screen Type above. To set OUT ASPEDT RATIO, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] until the cursor is positioned next to OUT ASPECT RATIO. Press the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16] to select the appropriate setting.
Once this time is set and the unit returned to normal operation, the displays will remain on for the time period selected whenever a button is pressed on the front panel or remote. After that time, they will gradually fade out, with the exception of the LED in the Power Button [square 2], which remains on to remind you that the AVR is turned on.
On Screen Status The semi-OSD system places two-line messages at bottom of the video display screen whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround Mode, Tuner Frequency or any of the configuration settings are changed. The semi-OSD system is helpful in that it enables you to have feedback on any control changes or remote commands using the video display when it is difficult to view the AVR front-panel display. However, you may also prefer to turn these displays off permanently.
The AVR21EN utilizes a unique control system where the external sources connected to the AVR Rear Panel, (Disc 1, Disc 2, Disc 3, AUX, VR, Cable/SAT) are not controlled directly from the AVR21ENR1 Main Room Remote. Instead, the remote outputs proprietary Audioaccess IR commands that are recognized by the AVR21EN and converted to the specific manufacturer’s control codes for the external sources.

conversion and it mutes the unused input jacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with system performance. ■ The 6 CH DVD AUDIO input should be used when the BSR (7.1) and BSL (7.1) inputs are NOT in use and the source device does NOT have its own internal bass-management system. When this input is in use, the analog source is converted to digital so that you may use the same bass management options for the direct input as you do with all other outputs.
Video Processing The AVR21EN features unique combination of video scaling and processing options that are available when the unit is connected to a “digital ready” or HD capable display device. Thanks to DCDi (Directional Correlation Deinterlacing) by Faroudja and a series of video parameter settings that may be set and stored individually for each video input source, the AVR21EN provides the ultimate in video, as well as audio reproduction.
The Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS 5.1, DTS-ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete modes may only be selected when a digital input is in use. In addition, when a digital source is present, the AVR21EN will automatically select and switch to the correct mode, regardless of the mode that has been previously selected. For more information on selecting digital sources, see the Digital Audio Playback section below.
Logic 7 Cinema Logic 7 Music Logic 7 Enhance DTS Neo:6 Cinema DTS Neo:6 Music Theater Small Concert, Medium Concert Dolby VirtualSpeaker Reference Wide 5-Channel Stereo 7-Channel Stereo Surround Off (Stereo) Dolby Headphone DH1 DH2 DH3 BP Exclusive to Audioaccess for receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material.
DTS DTS is a digital audio system capable of delivering 5.1 or 6.1 discrete or matrix sound field reproduction. Although both DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they use different methods of encoding the signals, and thus they require different decoding circuits to convert the digital signals back to analog. DTS-encoded soundtracks are available on select DVD and LD discs, as well as on audio-only DTS discs.
Dolby Digital decoding. When the unit senses PCM data from CDs or LDs, you may select any of the standard surround modes, such as Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7. Since the range of available surround modes is dependent on the type of digital data that is present, the AVR21EN shows you what type of signal is present. This will help you to understand the choice of modes. When a digital source is first detected, the AVR21EN will display a message to indicate the type of bitstream being received.
Digital signal with a 3/1/0 or 2/0/0 signal is detected, you may select any of the Dolby surround modes. When DS-OFF appears as a message, it indicates that there is no Dolby Surround data flag in the audio bitstream. Similarly, EX-OFF indicates that there is no Dolby Digital EX data flag. In the case of a DS-OFF message, you may manually select a Dolby Pro Logic mode to add a multichannel presentation to the stereo material.
Speaker/Channel Indicators In addition to the bitstream indicators, the AVR21EN features channel-input indicators that show how many channels of digital information are being received and/or whether the digital signal is interrupted. Figure 73 Speaker/Channel Input Indicators These indicators are the L/C/R/LFE/SL/SR/SBL/SBR letters that are inside the center boxes of the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators [square 35] on the front panel.

MULTIROOM INSTALLATION & SETUP Installing W.H.E.N. System Components W.H.E.N. allows unprecedented flexibility in system design for incorporating whole-house A/V distribution and control and home theater. For the purpose of detailing the options, the Multi-Zone sections will be broken down into three groups: Main Room, Three Zone System and Hub System. There are critical differences in system components and connections with these different options, so each will be detailed separately.
Figure 86 Typical Three Zone System 159
THREE ZONE SYSTEM Main Room The AVR21EN and all common source components and speakers should be installed, connected and setup as described in the sections: Pre-Wire/Main Room, and Main Room Installation and Setup. Remote Rooms Keypads In addition, a CAT5e should be pulled from the KP21 Keypad location in each remote zone (up to two) to the AVR21EN for control, audio and data.
Figure 87 Typical Hub System 161
HUB SYSTEM Main Room The AVR21EN and all common source components and speakers should be installed, connected and setup as described in the sections: Pre-Wire/Main Room, and Main Room Installation and Setup. Hub Installation In Hub Systems, the AVH21 A/V Hubs and WPS Power Supply Hubs are always used in pairs. (One each AVH21 and WPS21.) The recommended positioning for these pairs is side by side.
AVH21 CONFIGURATION Whether using one AVH21 or three, the Hubs need to be configured for ‘Hub Number’ and ‘Zone Group’ identification. (This is not the same as the Entertainment, Wake-Up and Sleep Groups that are configured in the ZONE SETUP Menu.) This allows the system management software to keep track of which zones are doing what. The Hub Configuration Switch [pentagon 28] on the AVH21 Top Panel identifies each Hub and its Zone Group.
Figure 90 Multiple Hub Power Connections 164
Uplink/Multiroom Link 1. Using CAT5e cable, properly terminated with RJ45 connectors, connect the Multiroom Link Terminal [circle 30] on the AVR21EN to the Uplink Terminal [pentagon 16] on the AVH21 as shown in Figure 91. 2. In larger systems using multiple Hubs, complete step 1 above by connecting the Multiroom Link Terminal [circle 30] on the AVR21EN to the Uplink Terminal [pentagon 16] on AVH21 #1 as shown in Figure 91.
Keypad Connections 1. Using CAT5e cable properly terminated with RJ45 connectors, connect the cables to the appropriate KP21 Keypad Terminals, KP 1-7 [pentagon 5] on the AVH21. As shown in Figure 92. Confirm proper connection by zone (Keypad number). Improper connection of the wrong keypad to the wrong terminal will cause operational errors. 2. In larger systems using multiple Hubs, repeat step 1 for all keypad connections to AVH21 #s 1,2 and 3.
Source Video In 1. Using RG6 Quad shield coaxial cable terminated with male F connectors, connect each of the Video Source Out Terminals [circle 37] on the AVR21EN Rear Panel to the appropriate Source Video Input [pentagon 8] on the AVH21 as shown in Figure 93. 2. In larger systems, complete step 1 above by connecting the Video Source Outs [circle 37] on the AVR21EN to the appropriate Source Video Inputs [pentagon 8] on AVH21 #1 as shown in Figure 93.
Zone (KP) Video Out 1. Using RG6 quad shield coaxial cable terminated with male F connectors, connect the appropriate KP Video Output 1-6 Terminal [pentagon 2] on the AVH21, as shown in Figure 94, to the appropriate zone 1-6 video display composite video input. NOTE: The AVH21 only has video outputs for zones 1-6. Confirm proper connection by zone (Keypad number). Improper connection will cause operational errors such as misrouted video signals. 2.
3. Connect the plug-in connector to the appropriate Door 1 Terminal [pentagons 10, 11] on the AVH21 and connect and terminate the door lock end as appropriate. NOTE: Door 1 relays should not be paralleled with Door 2 relays. 4. If using the +/- Terminal [pentagon 10], set the 12V/24V Switch [pentagon 12] to the proper position. 5. In larger systems using multiple AVH21’s, the Door 1 terminals can be used to activate different door locks in different areas.
25] on the side of the KP21. There are 20 address configurations.
AUX In (Local Source In) This connection allows the audio from a local source such as a CD/DVD player, DVR, cable/satellite receiver or Video Game to be played through the KP21 amplifier and local room speakers. 1. Using shielded stereo audio cable, strip approximately ¼” and twist the ends until there are no loose strands that can cause shorts. 2.
Figure 97 KP21 PREOUT Connections Speakers 1. Using 16AWG two-conductor stranded wire, strip approximately ¼” and twist the ends until there are no loose strands that can cause shorts. 2. Insert the twisted ends into the appropriate slots on the R+/R- and L+/L- speaker (SPK) Terminals [hexagon 24] on the KP21 rear panel as shown in Figure 98, and tighten with a small blade screwdriver. Pull the wire slightly to confirm connection. Confirm polarity. 3. Terminate and connect speaker ends as appropriate.
2. Connect the RG6 to the composite video input on the local zone video display. Confirm proper AVH21 zone KP Video Output [pentagon 2] connection. Connecting An External IR Sensor In some installations, the keypad will not be mounted on the same wall as the speakers and video display, the focal point of the room. In fact, the keypad may be mounted behind the seating area, making use of the KP21R remote control a bit awkward.
ZONE SETUP With all system components installed and connected, the system will function to its default settings. That is, a KP21 can turn the system on, select and control sources and adjust volume, in addition to some other basic functions. Figure 100 Main Menu There are other, more advanced, system functions that require setup, using the same On-Screen Menu that was used to set up the Main Room, given the use and configuration of every system is different.
