ADVANCED FuNCTIONS

Much of the AVR 460/AVR 360’s performance is handled automatically, with little intervention required on your part. The AVR 460/AVR 360 is capable of being customized to suit your system and your tastes. In this Advanced Functions Manual, some of the more advanced adjustments available are described.

AUDIO PROCESSING AND SURROUND SOUND

Audio signals output by sources are encoded in a variety of formats that can affect not only the quality of the sound but the number of speaker channels and the surround mode. You may also manually select a different surround mode, when available.

Analog Audio Signals

Analog audio signals usually consist of two channels – left and right. The AVR 460/AVR 360 offers three options for playback:

Analog Bypass Mode

1. : The 2-channel signal is passed directly from the input to the volume control, without being digitized or undergoing any processing for bass management or surround sound. To select analog bypass mode:

The analog audio inputs for the source must be selected. If necessary, a) press the Info Button on the remote and use the to the Audio Input from source setting.

The tone controls must be disabled by setting the Tone Control to Off. b) Press the Audio Effects Button to access the Tone Control setting.

The 2-channel Stereo mode must be selected. Press the Surround c) Modes Button to access the STEREO line of the Surround Modes submenu. Press the OK Button to select 2-channel Stereo. When the Tone Control setting is Off, the front speakers will be set to Large automatically. When the Tone Control setting is turned On, if you have set the front speaker crossover to a numeric setting, the front speakers will return to the Small setting.

NOTE

: Audio from The Bridge III source is analog, and when 2-channel

Stereo mode is selected, the audio will be played in Analog Bypass mode.

DSP Surround Off Mode

2. : The DSP Surround Off mode digitizes the incoming signal and applies the bass management settings, including speaker configuration, delay times and output levels. Select this mode when your front speakers are small, limited-range satellites and you are using a subwoofer. To select this mode, use a digital audio input, or turn the Tone Control setting off, and select 2-channel Stereo mode.

Analog Surround Modes

3. : The AVR 460/AVR 360 is able to process 2-channel audio signals to produce multichannel surround sound, even when no surround sound has been encoded in the recording. Among the available modes are the Dolby Pro Logic II/IIx modes, the Harman Virtual Speaker modes, the DTS Neo:6 modes, the Logic 7 modes and the Stereo modes.

Digital Audio Signals

Digital audio signals offer greater capacity, which allows the encoding of center and surround channel information directly into the signal. The result is improved sound quality and startling directionality, since each channel is reproduced discretely.

Even when only two channels are encoded, the digital signal allows for a higher sampling rate that delivers greater detail. High-resolution recordings sound extraordinarily distortion-free, especially at high frequencies.

Surround Modes

Surround mode selection is dependent upon the format of the incoming audio signal, as well as personal taste. Table A12 offers a brief description of each mode and indicates the types of incoming signals or digital bitstreams the mode may be used with. Additional information about the Dolby and DTS modes is available on the companies’ Web sites: www.dolby.com and www. dtsonline.com.

When in doubt, check the jacket of your disc for more information on which surround modes are available. Usually, nonessential sections of the disc, such as trailers, extra materials or the disc menu, are only available in Dolby Digital

2.0 (2-channel) or PCM 2-channel mode. If the main title is playing and the display shows one of these surround modes, look for an audio or language setup section in the disc’s menu. Also, make sure your player’s audio output is set to the original bitstream rather than 2-channel PCM. Stop play and check the player’s output setting.

For any incoming signal, only a limited number of surround modes are available. Although there is never a time when all of the AVR 460/AVR 360’s surround modes are available, there is usually a wide variety of modes available for a given input.

Multichannel digital recordings are found in the 5.1-, 6.1- or 7.1-channel formats. The channels included in a 5.1-channel recording are front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and LFE. The LFE channel is denoted as “.1” to represent the fact that it is limited to the low frequencies.

6.1-Channel recordings add a single surround back channel, and 7.1-channel recordings add surround back left and surround back right channels to the 5.1-channel configuration. New formats are available in 7.1-channel configurations. The AVR 460/AVR 360 is able to play the new audio formats, delivering a more exciting home theater experience.

NOTE

: To use the 6.1- and 7.1-channel surround modes, the Surround Back channels must be enabled. See the Manual Speaker Setup section on page 6 for more information.

The Digital formats include Dolby Digital 2.0 (two channels only), Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital EX (6.1), Dolby Digital Plus (7.1), Dolby TrueHD (7.1), DTS-HD High-Resolution Audio (7.1), DTS-HD Master Audio (7.1), DTS 5.1, DTS-ES (6.1 Matrix and Discrete), DTS 96/24 (5.1), 2-channel PCM modes in 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz or 96kHz, and 5.1 or 7.1 multichannel PCM.

When a digital signal is received, the AVR 460/AVR 360 detects the encoding method and the number of channels, which is displayed briefly as three numbers, separated by slashes (e.g., “3/2/.1”).

ENGLISH

ADVANCED FuNCTIONS

The first number indicates the number of front channels in the signal:

“1”

represents a monophonic recording, usually an older program that has

been digitally remastered or, more rarely, a modern program for which the director has chosen a special effect.

“2”

indicates the presence of the left and right channels, but no center

channel.

“3”

indicates that all three front channels (left, right and center) are

present.

The second number indicates whether any surround channels are present:

“0”

indicates that no surround information is present.

“1”

indicates that a matrixed surround signal is present.

“2”

indicates discrete left and right surround channels.

“3”

is used with DTS-ES bitstreams to represent the presence of the

discrete surround back channel, in addition to the side surround left and right channels.

“4”

is used with 7.1-channel digital formats to indicate the presence of

two discrete side surround channels and two discrete back surround channels.

The third number is used for the LFE channel:

“0”

indicates no LFE channel.

“.1”

indicates that an LFE channel is present.

The 6.1-channel signals – Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES Matrix and Discrete – each include a flag meant to signal the receiver to decode the surround back channel, indicated as 3/2/.1 EX-ON for Dolby Digital EX materials, and 3/3/.1 ES-ON for DTS-ES materials.

Dolby Digital 2.0 signals may include a Dolby Surround flag indicating DS-ON or DS-OFF, depending on whether the 2-channel bitstream contains only stereo information, or a downmix of a multichannel program that can be decoded by the AVR’s Dolby Pro Logic decoder. By default, these signals are played in Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode.

When a PCM signal is received, the PCM message and the sampling rate (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz or 96kHz) will appear.

When only two channels – left and right – are present, the analog surround modes may be used to decode the signal into the remaining channels. If you would prefer a different surround format than the native signal’s digital encoding, press the Surround Modes Button to display the Surround Modes menu (see Figure 30).

The Auto Select option uses the native signal’s digital encoding, e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio. For 2-channel materials, the AVR defaults to Logic 7 Movie mode. If you prefer a different surround mode, select the surround mode category: Virtual Surround, Stereo, Movie, Music or Video Game. Press the OK Button to change the mode.

Each category is set to a default surround mode:

Virtual Surround

• : Harman Virtual Speaker

Stereo

• : 7-channel stereo

Movie

• : Logic 7 Movie

Music

• : Logic 7 Music

Video Game

• : Logic 7 Game

You may select a different mode. The choice of surround modes depends on the number of speakers in your system.

Virtual Surround

• : Harman Virtual Speaker

Stereo

• : 2-channel stereo, 5-channel stereo or 7-channel stereo

Movie

• : Logic 7 Movie, DTS Neo: 6 Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie

Music

• : Logic 7 Music, DTS Neo: 6 Music, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music

Video Game

• : Logic 7 Game, Dolby Pro Logic II Game, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game

Once you have programmed the surround mode for each type of audio, select the line from the Surround Modes menu to override the AVR’s automatic surround mode selection. The AVR will use the same surround mode the next time the source is selected.

Please refer to Table A12 in the appendix for more information on which surround modes are available with different bitstreams.

Dolby Surround Settings

Some additional settings are available for Dolby modes. When the Dolby Pro Logic II or IIx Music modes have been selected, choose the Edit submenu to adjust the Center Width, Dimension and Panorama settings. See Figure 29.

MANUAL SPEAKER SETUP

The AVR 460/AVR 360 is flexible and may be configured for most speakers, and to compensate for the acoustic characteristics of your room.

The EzSet/EQ process automatically detects the capabilities of each speaker, and optimizes the AVR 460/AVR 360’s performance. If you are unable to run EzSet/EQ calibration, or if you wish to make further adjustments, use the Manual Speaker Setup on-screen menus.

Before beginning, place your loudspeakers as explained in the Speaker Placement section, and connect them to the AVR. Consult the owner’s guide for the speakers or the manufacturer’s Web site for the frequency range specification. Although you may set the output levels “by ear,” an SPL (soundpressure level) meter purchased at a local electronics store will provide greater accuracy.

Record your configuration settings in Tables A3 through A11 in the appendix for easy re-entry after a system reset, or if the AVR’s Master Power Switch is turned off or the unit is unplugged for more than four weeks.

NOTE

: When using the AVR’s Speaker Setup menus, select a video output

resolution of 720p or higher to view graphics that simplify configuration.

STEP ONE – Determine Speaker Crossover

Without using the EzSet/EQ process, the AVR 460/AVR 360 can’t detect how many speakers you’ve connected to it; nor can it determine their capabilities. Consult the speaker’s technical specifications and locate the frequency response, usually given as a range, e.g., 100Hz – 20kHz (±3dB). Write down the lowest frequency that each of your main speakers is capable of playing (100Hz in the example) as the crossover in Table A3 in the appendix. This is not the same as the crossover frequency listed in the speaker’s specifications. For the subwoofer, write down the transducer size.

The receiver’s bass management determines which speakers will be used to play back the low-frequency (bass) portion of the source program. Sending the lowest notes to small satellite speakers won’t sound right, and may even damage the speaker. The highest notes may not be heard at all through the subwoofer.

With proper bass management, the AVR 460/AVR 360 divides the source signal at a crossover point. All information above the crossover point is played through the satellite speaker, and all information below the crossover point is played through the subwoofer. Each loudspeaker in your system performs at its best, delivering an enjoyable sound experience.

STEP THREE – Manual Setup Menu

Now you are ready to program the receiver. Sit in the usual listening position and make the room as quiet as possible.

With the receiver and video display turned on, press the Setup Button to display the menu system. Use the Speaker Setup line, and press the OK Button to display the Speaker Setup menu. See Figure 20 in the Basic Manual.

If you have run the EzSet/EQ process, the results were saved. To tweak the EzSet/EQ results, or to configure the AVR 460/AVR 360 from scratch, select Manual Setup. A screen similar to the one shown in Figure 30 will appear.

Figure 30 – Manual Speaker Setup Menu

NOTE

: All of the speaker setup submenus include the Back option, as shown at the bottom of Figure 30. To save the current settings, select the Back option.

To reconfigure the speakers from scratch, select the Reset option.

For best results, adjust the submenus in this order: Number of Speakers, Crossover (Size), Sub Mode, Distance and Level Adjust.

Number of Speakers

Move the cursor to the Number of Speakers line and press the OK Button. See Figure 31.

STEP TWO – Measure Speaker Distances

Ideally, all of your speakers would be placed in a circle, with the listening position at the center. However, you may have had to place some speakers a little further away from the listening position than others. Sounds that are supposed to arrive simultaneously from different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times.

Use the AVR’s delay adjustment to compensate for real-world speaker placements.

Measure the distance from each speaker to the listening position, and write it down in Table A4 in the appendix. Even if all of your speakers are the same distance from the listening position, enter your speaker distances as described in Step Three.

Figure 31 – Number of Speakers Menu

Program the correct setting for each speaker group: ON when the speakers are present in the system, and OFF for positions where no speakers are installed. The Front Left & Right speakers are always ON and may not be disabled. Any changes will be reflected in the total number of speakers displayed at the top of the screen.

The setting for the surround back speakers includes a third option: Zone 2. The AVR 460/AVR 360 is capable of multizone operation, supporting placement of a pair of speakers in another room. The AVR 460/AVR 360’s assignable surround back amplifier channels make multizone operation easier than ever, since an external power amplifier is not required. Select the Zone 2 option at this line, and connect the Surround Back Speaker Outputs to loudspeakers located in the remote room.

ENGLISH

ADVANCED FuNCTIONS

The main room will be configured automatically for up to 5.1 channels. See the Multizone Operation section for more information.

NOTE

: When the Surround Back speakers are set to “Zone 2”, they will not be configured during the EzSet/EQ process. To use the speakers in the main listening area, configure them as “On”, and run the EzSet/EQ process for a 7.1-channel system. If the speakers will only be used during multizone operation, configure them manually, as explained below.

The settings in this menu affect the remainder of the speaker setup process and the availability of various surround modes at any time.

When you have finished, select the Back option or use the Back/Exit Button.

Adjust Crossover Frequencies Menu

After you have programmed the number of speakers, the AVR will return to the Manual Speaker Setup menu (see Figure 30). Navigate to the Crossover (Size) line and press the OK Button to display the Adjust Crossover Frequencies menu (see Figure 32).

If you set the front speakers to LARGE, select one of the three settings for • the subwoofer.

L/R+LFE

♦ : This setting sends all low-frequency information to the

subwoofer, including both information that would normally be played through the front left and right speakers, and the special lowfrequency effects (LFE) channel information.

Off

♦ : Select this setting when no subwoofer is in use. All low-

frequency information will be sent to the front left and right speakers.

LFE

♦ : This setting plays low-frequency information contained in the

left and right program channels through the front speakers, and directs only the LFE channel to the subwoofer.

NOTE

: If you are using a Harman Kardon HKTS Series speaker system, select the appropriate numeric crossover frequency for the Main Speaker groups, and the subwoofer will automatically be set to LFE.

Adjust Speaker Distance Menu

Placing the speakers at different distances from the listening positions can muddy the sound, as sounds are heard earlier or later than desired.

Even if all of your speakers are placed the same distance from the listening position, do not skip this menu.

On the Manual Speaker Setup menu, move the cursor to the Distance line and press the OK Button to display the Adjust Speaker Distance menu. See Figure

33.

Figure 32 – Adjust Crossover Frequencies Menu

The AVR will only display those speaker groups programmed in the Number of Speakers menu.

Refer to Table A3 for each speaker’s crossover. For the main speakers, this is the lowest frequency the speaker reproduces well.

For each main speaker, select one of the seven crossover frequencies: 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz or 200Hz. If the crossover frequency is below 40Hz, select the first option, “Large”. This setting doesn’t refer to the speaker’s physical size, but to its frequency response, which is also called “full range”.

Specify the size of the subwoofer’s transducer as 8, 10, 12 or 15 inches. The AVR always sets the subwoofer crossover to 100Hz, but uses the transducer size for equalization. Write down the settings in Table A3 in the appendix.

When you have finished entering the settings, select Back, or press the Back/ Exit Button.

Sub Mode

Move the cursor to the Sub Mode line. This setting depends upon how you programmed the front left and right speakers.

If you set the front speakers to a numeric crossover frequency, the • subwoofer setting will always be SUB. All low-frequency information will always be sent to the subwoofer. If you don’t have a subwoofer, either upgrade to full-range speakers or add a subwoofer at the earliest opportunity.

Figure 33 – Adjust Speaker Distance Menu

Enter the distance from each speaker to the listening position, as measured in Step Two – Measure Speaker Distances and recorded in Table A4 in the appendix (see page 15).

The default unit of measurement is feet. To change the unit to meters, return to the main AVR menu. Select the System Settings menu, then scroll down to the General Setup section and select the Unit of Measure line. Press the OK Button to change the setting.

STEP FOUR – Setting Channel Output Levels

Manually

For a conventional 2-channel receiver, the balance control affects the stereo imaging by adjusting the relative loudness of the left and right channels.

With up to seven main channels, plus a subwoofer, imaging becomes both more critical and more complex. The goal is to ensure that each channel is heard at the listening position with equal loudness.

EzSet/EQ calibration can handle this critical task for you, simply and automatically. However, the AVR’s Adjust Speaker Levels menu allows you to calibrate the levels manually, either using the system’s test tone or while playing source material.

Make sure all speakers have been placed and connected correctly.1.

Adjust the number of speakers, crossover, distance and sub mode for each 2. speaker in your system, as described in Step Three.

Measure the channel levels in one of these ways, and adjust the channel 3. levels using the Adjust Speaker Levels menu:

Preferably, use a handheld SPL meter set to the C-Weighting, Slow a) scale. Adjust each channel so that the meter reads 75dB.

By ear. Adjust the levels so that all channels sound equally loud.b)

If you are using a handheld SPL meter with source material, such as c) a test disc or an audio selection, play it and adjust the AVR’s master volume control until the meter measures 75dB.

Overscan

around the border of a video frame, called “overscan”, that may be viewed on newer high-definition displays, although it was not visible on older analog television sets. However, since not all displays are capable of showing this portion of the frame, directors avoid placing important information in that area.

If your video display is capable of displaying the overscan area, turn this setting on to avoid seeing a black border around the image which could cause unwanted “burn-in” on some plasma and CRT displays. The AVR turns this setting off by default when the source device is connected to one of the HDMI Inputs. The setting is turned on by default when the source is connected to one of the analog video inputs.

Deinterlacing

That is, each refresh of the television screen displayed only half the pixels in a frame, alternating between all of the even rows of pixels and all of the odd rows. Modern displays are capable of displaying the complete frame all at once by progressively scanning all of the rows of pixels from top to bottom. For optimal viewing on a progressive-scan display (most flat-panel displays), the video images must be deinterlaced.

The color transition, seen as sharp separation of the bars. •

The performance of the color circuits in your TV (with “Video” signals); bar • edges should show no vertical crawling dots.

Use the gray scale and the black/white fields in the test pattern to adjust the brightness and contrast.

Brightness Adjustment

Turn down the color control on your TV until the color bars appear in black 1. and white.

Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all gray scale 2. bars separately and clearly.

Adjust the brightness so that the bars in the gray scale are all visible. The 3. bar farthest to the left has to be as black as possible rather than gray but the next gradation must clearly be distinct from it. The bars in the gray scale should gradually and evenly change from black to white.

Contrast Adjustment

Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright white bar in the lower 1. right corner of the screen and a deep-dark-black bar to the left.

If the brightness of the white bar no longer increases when the contrast 2. is turned up or the borders of white letters bloom (overlight) into the black areas (drastically decreasing the sharpness of the type), the contrast has been turned up too much. Reduce the contrast until these effects disappear and the video still looks realistic.

If you are watching TV with ambient daylight, adjust the contrast so that 3. a normal video picture looks the same as the surroundings in your room; that way the eye is relaxed when watching the TV picture. Reduce the setting when the surrounding light is dimmed to improve the sharpness of the picture.

The gray scale in the middle line should retain the same distinction 4. between each bar as before the contrast adjustment. If not, repeat both Step 3 of the Brightness Adjustment and the Contrast Adjustment.

Color Adjustment

When the brightness and contrast are set optimally, adjust the color 1. control. Set the level so that the colors look strong but still natural, not overdone. If the color level is too high, depending on the TV, some of the bars will seem wider or the color intensity will not increase when the control is turned up. Test the color intensity with a video of pictures of faces, flowers, fruit and vegetables.

Refer to a large white bar in your test pattern to tweak the warmth of the 2. picture using the Tint control on your TV.

Figure 37 – Video Modes Custom Processing

With a color bar test pattern from a test disc or other source on screen, the following adjustments may be made:

Sharpness Adjustment

Contrary to intuition, the picture will appear sharper and clearer with the sharpness backed off from the maximum setting. Reduce the sharpness setting on your television, and the setting on the AVR 460/AVR 360, if necessary, to minimize the appearance of any white lines between the bars in the gray scale portion of the test screen.

MULTIZONE OPERATION

With the multizone system in use, you may enjoy an exciting 5.1-channel home theater presentation in the main listening area, while others listen to the same materials or an entirely different presentation in another room.

Although installation of a multizone system is not complicated, it requires running wires inside walls. Check your local building codes and comply with the requirements for in-wall wiring systems, to prevent the possibility of a dangerous situation. If you have any questions about installing a multizone system, it is strongly recommended that you contact a professional custom installer. See Step Eight of the Installation section on page 22 in the Basic Manual for instructions on installing a multizone system.

ADVANCED REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The AVR 460/AVR 360 remote control also serves as a universal remote that may be programmed to operate other components. Refer to the Function List (Table A13 in the appendix) for assistance in operating your other components. The function of each button will not necessarily correspond to the label printed on the button.

Punch-Through Programming

The punch-through feature allows you to operate one component, while setting certain groups of controls to operate another component. For example, while using the AVR controls for surround modes and other audio functions, you may operate the transport controls of your DVD player. Or while using the remote to control video functions on your TV, you may use your cable box to change channels.

To program punch-through control while operating any device:

Press and hold the Source Selector (or Setup Button) for the main device 1. the remote will be operating. The Source Selector will light, go dark and then light up again, indicating the remote is in Program mode and that you may release the button.

Select the type of punch-through programming.2.

For channel control punch-through, press the Channel Up Button.a)

To program transport control punch-through, press the Play Button.b)

Press the Source Selector for the device whose channel or transport 3. controls will be used while operating the device selected in the first step. The Source Selector will flash to confirm.

For example, to watch the TV while changing channels using the cable box, press and hold the TV Button until it lights. Then press the Channel Up Button, followed by the Cable/SAT Button.

To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as above, but press the same Source Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

NOTE

: The Volume and Mute controls are always dedicated to the AVR.

Activities (Macros)

Activities are used to program sequences of up to 19 commands that are executed with a single button press. Activities are well suited for power on and off commands, to send out a multidigit channel number with one button press, or to control another device with more flexibility than the built-in punch-through controls. Up to eleven activities may be programmed.

NOTE

: Use caution when programming complicated activities. It isn’t possible to program a pause or delay before sending commands after Power On, and the component may not be ready to respond to commands immediately after powering on.

NOTE

: During a system upgrade, do not power off the AVR or use any of its

controls. Doing so could permanently damage the AVR.

Depending on the number of speakers in your system, select 3-, 5- or 6-channel modes, enhanced for movie or video presentations.

Available only in 5- and 6-channel modes, creates a surround presentation suitable for music recordings.

A Harman International proprietary technology, Logic 7 technology enhances 2-channel and matrix-encoded recordings by deriving separate information for the surround back channels. This provides more accurate placement of sound, improves panning and expands the sound field, even when used with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7 technology uses 96kHz processing, and is available in 5.1-or 7.1-channel modes. Three variants are available.

Especially suited to 2-channel sources containing Dolby Surround or matrix encoding, Logic 7 Movie mode increases center channel intelligibility.

The AVR 460/AVR 360 is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for 2-channel signals. Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional 2-channel music recordings.

Use Logic 7 Game mode to enhance enjoyment of video game consoles. Analog (2-channel) •
