If the component video inputs are used, connect the Component Video Monitor Outputs b to the component video inputs of your TV, projector or display device. 9.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS The AVR 525 features a removable power cord that allows wires to be run to a complex installation so that the unit, itself, need not be installed until it is ready for connection. When all connections described above have been made, connect the AC Power cord to the AC Power Cord Jack ‹. The AVR 525 draws significantly more current than other household devices such as computers that use removable power cords.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION may be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. As with the side speakers, rear surrounds should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least two feet higher than the listeners’ ears. The speakers should be no more than six feet behind the rear of the seating area. When all audio, video and system connections have been made, there are a few configuration adjustments that must be made.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 4. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that are on the top of the battery compartment. MASTER MENU (Figure 1) will appear, and adjustments are made from the individual menus. * I S S D C M A E 5. Turn the AVR 525 on either by pressing the System Power Control 2 on the front panel, or via the remote by pressing the Power On Button d, the AVR Selector f or any of the Input Selectors eg on the remote.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION When using the full-OSD system to make the setup adjustments, press the OSD Button v once so that the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION On the DOLBY menu (Figure 4), the selection choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic IIMusic, Dolby Pro Logic II-Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIEmulation and Dolby 3 Stereo. The Dolby Digital EX mode is only available when the system is set for 6.1/7.1 operation by configuring the Surround Back speakers to “Small” or “Large” as described on page 22. When a disc is playing that contains a special “flag” signal in the digital audio data stream, the EX mode will be selected automatically.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION front soundstage or where different brands or models are in use at the various speaker positions, this feature allows you to custom tailor the bass management and redirection circuits with a precision not previously possible. It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the speaker setup through the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5).
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION Press the ‹ / › Buttons o 37 on the remote to select the option that best describes your system. The choices available for the subwoofer position will depend on the settings for the other speakers, particularly the front left/right positions. If the front left/right speakers are set to SMALL, the subwoofer will automatically be set to SUB, which is the “on” position.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION Due to the differences between the way each surround mode operates, some modes allow for a greater range of delay times than others. To avoid problems, we recommend that delay times be adjusted using the Dolby Digital mode. If a different mode is selected at a later time, the AVR 525 will automatically restrict the delay settings to those required by the surround mode in use.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION channel being adjusted will flash to indicate from which channel the test tone should be heard. As the adjustment proceeds, a few things will happen simultaneously: • The channel position being adjusted will flash in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators E. If the test noise is heard from a channel other than the one shown in the indicator, there is an error in the speaker connections. If this is the case, press the Test Button i TWICE to stop the adjustment.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available for the VMAx or Surround Off modes. Additional Input Adjustments After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and output levels, go back to the IN/OUT SETUP line on the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) and enter the settings for each input that you will use.
