ource. This flexibility enables you to customize the
way in which you listen to each source and have the
AVR 645 memorize those settings. Once these set-
tings are made, they will automatically be recalled
w
henever you select that input.
To simplify initial configuration and operation, the
AVR 645 has been preconfigured with input settings
t
hat are typical for home theater systems. These set-
tings are detailed in the worksheets in the Appendix.
Before adjusting the input settings, it is a good idea to
compare your input connections to the defaults so that
you may see where changes need to be made.
Before using the unit, you may want to change the
settings for some inputs so that they are properly
configured to reflect the use of digital or analog
inputs, the type of video display and speakers
installed, and the surround mode specifics of your
home theater system.
In/Out Setup
The first step is to configure each input source. When
an input is selected,
the settings will “attach” them-
selves to that input and be stored in a nonvolatile
memory. Once made, the selection of an 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 done, they need not
be changed again unless your system components
have changed.
When using the full-OSD system to make the setup
adjustments, press the
Menu Button A or OSD
Button
once so that the MASTER MENU
(Figure 1) appears. The cursor will be next to the
IN/OUT
SETUP
line
.
Press the
On/Enter
Button
E or the Set
Button
œ
and the first
page of the
IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2)
will appear on the screen. Press the
/ Navigation
Button
D

until the desired input name appears
in the highlighted video, as well as being indicated in
the front-panel
Input Indicators !.
Figure 2
When one of the four Video inputs is selected as the
source, you have the option of renaming the input as it
appears in the on-screen and front-panel messages
.
This is helpful if you have more than one VCR, if you
w
ish to associate a specific product brand name with
t
he input, or to simply enter any name that will help
you to remember which source is being selected.

the cursor is pointing to

for a few seconds until
a flashing box appears to the right of the colon.

the

, as you are now ready to enter
the device name.
Press the
/¤ Navigation Buttons D

and
note that alphanumeric characters will appear with
the start of the alphabet in capital letters, followed by
the lowercase letters, and then numbers and symbols.
When you press the
¤ Na
vigation Button
D
©
, the symbols and numbers will appear first, fol-
lowed by a reverse list of the alphabet in lowercase
letters. Press the button either way until the first letter
of the desired name appears. If you wish to enter a
blank space as the first character, press the
Navigation Button D

.
When the desired character appears, press the
Navigation Button D
©
and repeat the process
for the next letter, and continue until the desired name
is entered, up to a maximum of 14 characters. Press
the
On/Enter Button E or the Set Button
œ
to
enter the input name into the system memory and to
proceed with the configuration process.
After entering the input title, press the
/¤
Navigation Buttons D
©
to move to the
next line.
The audio input defaults for all sources except the
Tuner, USB and 6/8-Channel Direct inputs are shown
in the table in the Appendix. If your system configura-
tion
follows the default table
,
no changes are needed
and you may press the
/¤ Na
vigation Buttons
D
©
to move to the next line.
With the cursor pointing to
AUDIO
IN-PORT
,
press the
/ Na
vigation Buttons
D
©
to
change the default to a different audio input connec-
tion. When the name of the desired input appears,
press the
/¤ Navigation Buttons D
©
to
move to the next line
.
Note that in addition to using the menu system to
change the audio input, you may change it at any time
with the
TC 30
remote by following these steps:
• Press the
Devices Button 3.
When the images in the LCD change, press the
Screen Button 6 at the top of the left side
of the remote
,
next to the screen message
AV
Receiver.
At the next screen,
press the
Screen Button 6
to the left of the message Setup Menu.
When the new list of options appears, press the
S
creen Button
6 t
o the right of Digital Input.
The current digital input name will begin to flash in
the
Upper Display Line C.
Press the
/ N
avigation Buttons
D u
ntil the
desired input name appears on the right side of
the
Upper Display Line C or in the semi-OSD
message.
After five seconds, the input name will stop flashing,
as it is entered into the system memory and the unit
will return to normal operation.
In normal operation, when a digital audio stream is
interrupted, the unit will automatically switch to the
analog inputs associated with that source. This is par-
ticularly useful with cable set-top boxes where the
input is normally digital, but occasionally changes to
analog. If you wish to configure an input so that the
auto-poll circuit is turned off, while the on-screen cur-
sor is pointing to the
AUDIO AUTO POLL
line, simply press the / Navigation Buttons
D
©
so that OFF (rather than ON) is in a white
video highlight.
When the desired auto-poll setting is entered, press
the
/¤ Navigation Button D
©
to move to
the next line.
When the cursor is at the
VIDEO IN-PORT
line, you are able to select an alternative to the default
input setting for the video input associated with any
source. For the Video 1 and Video 4 inputs, the factory
default of
AUTO will select either composite or S-
video, depending on which has an active signal. For
the Video 2, Video 3 and DVD inputs, the
AUTO
setting will normally select the default component
input, but if it is not in use, the system will revert to a
composite or S-video output if either one is active.
To have the AVR always look to a specific source con-
nection when an input is selected, make certain that
the on-screen cursor is pointing to the
VIDEO
IN-PORT
line
,
and then press the
/
Na
vigation Buttons
D
©
until the name of the
desired input appears. The default setting for HDMI
inputs is
AUTO and normally need not be changed.
However, in systems where the HDMI connection is
used for multichannel audio only (e
.g., HDMI 1.1), but
the video connection is component, due to limitations
on the video display, the setting here should be
changed to
COMPONENT.
When the desired video input setting has been made,
press the
/¤ Navigation Buttons D
©
to
move to the next line
.
If your system includes any sources that are equipped
with
Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the AVR 645
is able to switch them to send the proper signals to
your video display
.
