Set Up the AVR

Resolution from Source: This line is informational only. It indicates the resolution of the

video output by the source device.

HDMI Bypass: This setting allows you to bypass the AVR’s internal video processing for

proper display of 3-D video content and of source devices (such as some game consoles)

where the AVR's video processing can create delays that can cause synchronization

errors between the sound and picture. There are three available settings:

Off: Does not bypass the AVR's internal video processing. •

On: Always bypasses the AVR's internal video processing. •

Auto: Automatically bypasses the AVR's internal video processing when 3-D content •

is detected.

IMPORTANT: Once the AVR automatically switches into the bypass mode upon detecting

3-D video content, it will not automatically switch out of the bypass mode when it detects

conventional 2-D video content. To turn the HDMI Bypass off you must cycle the AVR into

the Standby mode and then turn it on again.

We suggest that you create an additional source conﬁguration for each of your 3-D video

source devices by assigning each an unused Source Selector button on the AVR’s remote

control. For example, you can assign the AVR’s “Media Server” source as the 3-D source

for a 3-D-capable disc player or game, and you can assign one of the AVR’s “A/B/C/D”

source buttons as the 3-D source for your cable or satellite tuner’s 3-D programming.

Creating “HDMI Bypass” Inputs

In this example, we will program the Media Server source as an HDMI Bypass source for

3-D programming:

Select “Setup Source.” The source list will appear.1.

Select “Media Server.” The Media Server setup screen will appear.2.

Select “HDMI Bypass.” A conﬁrmation screen will appear.3.

Select “OK.” The AVR will exit the menu mode.4.

Repeat Steps 1 – 4, assigning a new 3-D source for each of your 3-D-capable source

devices.

Notes:

When using your AVR with these new settings, be sure to press the correct source •

selectors for your 2-D and 3-D sources.

If you are viewing 3-D sources when an HDMI Bypass input is active, the •

on-screen indications for volume level will not appear. This is normal, since all

video processing is removed in the HDMI Bypass mode.

If your video sources are always operating at 720p or higher resolution, you may •

ﬁnd the HDMI Bypass mode acceptable for normal 2-D viewing as well as for 3-D

viewing. In this case, you may ﬁnd it more convenient to use the 3-D sources at

all times.

If you see side-by-side or top-and-bottom images while watching a 3-D program, •

manually switch to the HDMI Bypass mode.

Change Name: This selection lets you change the display name for the source, which

is useful if your source’s device type is different from the source’s preprogrammed

name. Select this line and use the Up/Down buttons to scroll forward or reverse through

the alphanumeric characters. When the desired character appears, use the Left/Right

buttons to move the cursor to the next or previous position. Move the cursor again to

leave a blank space. When you have ﬁnished, press the OK Button. The name will appear

on the AVR’s front panel and throughout the on-screen menu system.

Adjust Lip Sync: This selection lets you resynchronize the audio and video signals

from a source to eliminate a “lip sync” problem. Lip-sync issues can occur when the

video portion of a signal undergoes additional processing in either the source device

or the video display. When you make a Lip Sync adjustment, the Lip Sync menu

appears by itself, enabling you to view the video while listening to the audio. Use the Left/

Right buttons to delay the audio by up to 180ms.

Adjust Lip Sync

Audio Auto Polling: This setting is used when both analog and digital audio connections

are made for the source device. If an analog audio connection was made, select it

here. When no digital signal comes from the device, the AVR will automatically switch

to the analog audio input. This switch can be useful for older cable television systems

that broadcast channels in both analog and digital audio. If there is no analog audio

connection from the device, choose the Off setting, and the AVR will always use the

digital audio connection.

Zone 2 Audio: This setting determines the audio source for Zone 2 of a multizone system.

Select the analog audio input the source is connected to. Digital audio is not available to

the multizone system.

To conﬁgure the next source, press the Back/Exit button, then return to the Setup

Source line of the Main Menu. When you have ﬁnished conﬁguring all sources, press

the Back/Exit button to clear the menus from view.

Set Up the Network

To play MP3 or WMA media located on DLNA-compatible devices connected to the

network or to use the AVR’s internal Internet radio tuner to listen to audio streams,

connect the AVR’s Network connector to the Ethernet port on a router or modem that

has Internet access, to a home network, or to a PC.

If your network uses an automatic IP address, you should not have to perform any

network setup procedures. Once you connect the AVR to your home network, the

network should automatically assign the AVR an IP address, and the AVR should

automatically connect to your network.

If your AVR does not automatically connect to your network (in which case the AVR will

display a “Not Connected” message when you press the Network source button):

Press the Setup button, select Setup Source, then select Network on the slide-in menu. 1.

The Network menu will appear.

Select Network Setup. The Network Settings menu will appear.2.

If the AVR again fails to connect to the network, you may need to enter your network’s 5.

settings manually. See

Network Settings

(under

General AVR Settings

), on page 40, for

complete instructions. You may need to obtain your network’s settings from your ISP

or network administrator.

NOTE: We recommend that you connect the AVR to a home-network router so that it

can directly access the Internet for Internet radio, or access a PC on the network for

playback of content stored on the PC (see

Listening to Media via Your Home Network

on page 32, for more information).
