Cautions on Handling

•Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cables.

•Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

•About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.

•Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

•Moving the unit

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before moving the unit.

•Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes.

•Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are used in the AVP-A1HD circuit. When powered on, a green light shows inside part of the AVP-A1HD, however this is not a fault.

In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a DVDVideo or DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/DVI connections, both the connected DVD player and monitor must be equipped for a copyright protection system called “HDCP” (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding and mutual identification of the devices.

The AVP-A1HD is HDCP-compatible. For details on the DVD player or monitor you are using, refer to its operating instructions.

When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable (adapter)

•HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format.

When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D connector, connection is possible using an HDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video signals will not be output.

•When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.

NOTE

•Use a CPPM-compatible DVD player to play DVD-Audio discs that are copyright-protected by CPPM.

•The audio signals output from the HDMI connector (sampling frequency, bit rate, etc.) may be restricted by the connected device.

•Video signals are not output properly when using devices that are not HDCP-compatible.

•Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitor’s resolution. In this case, switch the DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.

•If the GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “Audio” setting (vpage 31) is set to “Amp”, the sound may be interrupted when the monitor’s power is turned off.

•Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).

•If the monitor or DVD player does not support Deep Color, Deep Color signal transfer is not possible.

•If the monitor or DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal transfer is not possible.

•If the monitor does not support “Auto Lipsync Correction” function, this function will not work.

•The AVP-A1HD is compatible with the HDMI’s CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function. Please note the following.

•It may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its setup.

•It does not operate with televisions or players that are not compatible with HDMI’s CEC.

•When the AVP-A1HD and DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVP-A1HD and monitor using an HDMI cable.

•If the connected monitor or DVD player only has a DVI-D connector, use an HDMI/DVI converter cable. When using a DVI cable, no audio signals are transmitted.

•Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color compatible devices.

Connecting the Monitor

•Connect the cables to be used (vpage 9 “Video Conversion Function”).

•With HDMI connections, the video and audio signals can be transferred with a single cable.

•To output the audio signals to the monitor with HDMI connections, set GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “Audio” to “TV” (vpage 31).

Preparations

1Connect the included calibrated setup microphone to

Auto Setup the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit.

The “Auto Setup” screen appears automatically.

•Audyssey MultEQ® XT automatically measures the acoustical problems in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for your home theater.

•It optimizes a large listening area where one or more listeners are seated.

Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone (DM-A505Z) successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 or more positions so that the measurements have the proper spatial weighting.

Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w, measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

2Place the microphone at ear height on a tripod or stand with the microphone pointing directly up towards the ceiling.

Setup microphone

b It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. Be sure that the path from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects. Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results.

About the main listening position (*M)

The main listening position refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment.

MultEQ XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 28 ~ 30.

When using a subwoofer, make the following settings before starting the auto setup procedure:

•Defeat the volume and crossover controls if possible

•If this is not possible then set

•Volume: “12 o’clock” position

•Crossover frequency: “Maximum/Highest Frequency”

•Low pass filter: “Off”

•Standby mode: “Off”

NOTE

•Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setup procedure is completed.

•When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting the auto setup procedure.

Start

Start Auto Setup.

The Audyssey MultEQ XT Auto Setup process automatically calculates the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ XT corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.

Before starting, connect and position all your speakers.

Once started, MultEQ XT will play a series of test tones through each speaker.

If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error Messages” (vpage 27), take the advised action, then start the measurements again.

Configuration

The speaker system to be measured can be selected ahead of time here.

[Selectable items] 9.1 z1 7.1 z1 5.1 z1

9.2 z2 7.2 z2 5.2 z2

9.3 z3 7.3 z3 5.3 z3

z1: This can be set when “Subwoofer” is set to “1SP”.

z2: This can be set when “Subwoofer” is set to “2SP L/R” or “2SP MIX”.

z3: This can be set when “Subwoofer” is set to “3SP L/R/LFE” or “3SP MIX”.

Setting the correct speaker configuration can reduce the time required to measure during the auto setup procedure as the system will not have to look for speakers that are not connected.

Subwoofer

The configuration of the measuring subwoofer can be selected beforehand.

[Selectable items] 1SP 2SP L/R 2SP MIX 3SP L/R/LFE 3SP MIX

Pre-out Assign

Set each channel.

STEP1 : Speaker Detection

The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the first measurement position. The following attributes are also determined at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker Distance”, “Channel Level”, “Crossover Frequency”.

Once the measurements are completed, the results are displayed.

NOTE

•Loud test tone may be played during Audyssey MultEQ XT Automatic Speaker Setup.This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test tones will increase in volume.

•Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.

•Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements and refrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devices that emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affected by these sounds.

•Operating the MASTER VOLUME knob on the main unit or the VOL +/– buttons on the remote control unit during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

•Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after “STEP1”.

STEP2: Measurement

After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to the next position.

Measure at least 6 positions (main listening position and at least 5 other surrounding positions). For best results it is recommend measuring 6 or more positions (with a maximum of 8 positions).

STEP3: Calculation

When “Calculate” is selected at “STEP2”, the measurements taken are analyzed automatically to determine how the speaker system interacts with the room.

The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers connected. The higher the number of speakers, the longer the time required for analysis.

STEP4: Check

Once the auto setup procedure is complete, a measuring result check screen appears.

Select any item whose results you want to check to review the results.

Values that are different from the actual distance may be set for speakers with built-in filters (subwoofers, etc.). This is because filters add electrical delay to the signal that should be compensated.

STEP5: Store

The auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVP-A1HD.

NOTE

Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.
