3. Carefully remove the protective plastic film from
the front-panel lens. If left in place, the film will
prevent proper operation of the remote control.
4. Install the four supplied AAA batteries in the
remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+ )
and (– ) polarity indicators that are in the battery
compartment.
5. Turn the AVR 7 300 on by pressing the Standby/
On Button 1 on the front panel, or via the
remote by pressing the Power On Button b,
the AVR Selector e
∫ or any of the Input
Selectors 3Xh ç∂ on the remote.
The lighting around the Standby/On Button 1
will turn blue to confirm that the unit is on.
Using the On-Screen Display
When making the following adjustments, you may find
it easier to use the DPR 2005’s on-screen display
system. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear
picture of the current status of the unit and make it
easy to see which speaker, delay, input or digital
selection you are making.
To the on-screen menus, make certain that you have
made a connection between either the Component
Video Outputs [square E] or the Video Monitor Outputs
[square O] and the matching inputs on your TV, display
or projector. In order to view the menus, make certain
that the proper video input type has been selected on
the display, and that any configuration required for the
display, such as selection of interlace or progressive
scan has been made. TO take advantage of the AVR
7300’s advanced video circuitry, when a component
video connection is in use, make certain that the
display is configured for "4 80 P" or progressive scan
inputs, if available.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen
menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or
direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important
that they not be left on for an extended period of time.
The constant display of a static image such as these
menus may cause the image to be permanently
“burned into” the projection tubes, plasma screen or
CRT. This type of damage is not covered by the AVR
7300 warranty and may not be covered by the projec-
tor/TV set’s warranty.
The AVR 7 300 has two on-screen display modes,
“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making configura-
tion adjustments, it is recommended that the full-OSD
mode be used. This will place an easily viewed list of
the available options on the screen.
Making Configuration Adjustments
The full-OSD system is available by pressing the
OSD Button U. When this button is pressed, the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1 ) will appear, and
adjustments are made from the individual menus.
Figure 1
The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you
to make adjustments directly, by pressing the appro-
priate buttons on the front panel or remote control for
the specific parameter to be adjusted. For example, to
change the digital input for any of the sources, press
the Digital Select Button and then press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button o to scroll through the
list of options as they appear in the on-screen display
or in the Lower Display Line $.
To use the full-OSD menu system, press the OSD
Button U. When the menu is on the screen, press
the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button o until the on-screen
➔ cursor is next to the item you wish to adjust, and
then press the Set Button q to adjust that item.
The menus will remain on the screen for 2 0 seconds,
and then they will “time-out” and disappear from the
screen. The time-out may be increased to as much
as 50 seconds by going to the ADVANCED
SELECT menu, and changing the item titled
FULL OSD TIME OUT.
When the full-OSD system is in use, the menu selec-
tions are not shown in the Upper or Lower Display
Lines #$. When the full-OSD menu system is
used, OSD ON will appear in the Upper Display
Line # to remind you that a video display must be
used. When the semi-OSD system is used in conjunc-
tion with the discrete configuration buttons, the on-
screen display will show a single line of text with the
current menu selection. That selection will also be
shown in the Upper or Lower Display Lines #$,
depending on which parameter is being adjusted.
Setting the System Configuration Memory
The AVR 7 300 features an advanced memory system
that enables you to establish audio and video parameters
for each input source. This flexibility enables you to
custom-tailor the way in which you listen to each
source and have the DPR 2005 memorize those set-
tings. This means, for example, that you may set differ-
ent speaker configurations with the resultant changes
to the bass management system. Thanks to the use of
exclusive Harman Kardon circuitry and software along
with DCDi by Faroudja
®
technology, you may also cus-
tom tailor the video settings for each input source to
display consistent, high quality video images when the
AVR 7300 is used in conjunction with a digital or high
definition display. Once these settings are made, they
will automatically be recalled whenever you select that
input.
The factory default settings for audio have all inputs
expect for DVD and Video 3 configured for their ana-
log inputs. The default for DVD is Coaxial Digital
Audio Input 1 † and the default for Video 3 is
Optical Digital Input 1 ®. Additionally, the default
for all speaker settings is “Small” with the Subwoofer
on. Logic 7 Music is the default surround mode for all
sources, with Dolby Digital or DTS being selected
automatically when an appropriate digital source is in
use and a digital bitstream is detected.
The factory defaults for the video settings are listed in
the Appendix to this manual on page XX. Note, how-
ever, that most of the video default settings are only
applicable when a component connection to a digital
ready or HDTV monitor is in use. Both the video and
audio settings for all inputs may be changed as shown
in the following pages.
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 speakers installed and the surround mode
specifics of your home theater system. Remember
that since the DPR 2005 memorizes the settings for
each input individually, you will need to make these
adjustments for each input used. However, once they
are made, further adjustment is only required when
system components are changed.
To make this process as quick and as easy as possi-
ble, we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with
the on-screen menus, and step through each input.
Once you have completed the settings for the first
input, many settings may be duplicated for the remain-
ing inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configura-
tion data in the order these items are listed in the
MASTER MENU, as some settings require a
specific entry in a prior menu item.
