[. . . ] H A N DBOOK AVR280 Arcam AVR280 surround sound receiver English Safety guidelines CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN ATTENTION RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated `dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. [. . . ] HQ Video DVD, AV and SAT: Allocate the high quality component or RGB video inputs to any source buttons. For example, to assign the Component/RGB video from the `HQ Video DVD' input to the DVD button, set the `HQ Video DVD' item in this menu to `DVD'. If HQ-VIDEO is set to RGB (as described on page 13) and an HQ-video input is assigned to a button, the AVR280 assumes that RGB signals are present for that input if a composite signal is found on the corresponding composite input. If this assignment is made but no RGB signals are supplied, the display will be blank for the assigned source. ADV 3 ­ Digital Settings Coaxial inputs and Optical inputs. Each of the digital inputs can be assigned to any of the seven stereo source buttons (CD, TAPE, DVD, SAT, AV, VCR and AUX), or can be assigned No button. This menu page lists the physical inputs, as per the back panel, on the left hand side of the screen, with the buttons used to select the inputs listed on the right hand side. For example, if you choose the `Coaxial DVD input' to be assigned to the DVD button, then the choices for the other digital inputs are: CD, TAPE, SAT, AV, VCR, AUX and NO BUTTON. If you wish to reallocate the DVD input to a different button, `Coaxial DVD input' must be assigned to a different button (or No button) before you can re-assign the DVD input. AVR280 17 English ADV 4 ­ Zone 2 Settings ZONE2 VOL: Sets the volume for Zone 2. Max Vol 20­83: Limits the maximum volume setting for Zone 2. This is a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low power-handling speakers, for example. Fix Vol: This selects between fixed and variable audio output to Zone 2. If NO is selected, the output level can be controlled from Zone 2 or the main system. If you wish to fix the volume level, first set the Zone 2 volume to the desired level, then select YES. Max On Vol: Limits the maximum volume Zone 2 operates at when it is first switched on. Zone 2 comes on at this volume if the last used volume exceeds this value. Stand-by: This allows zone 1 (the main zone) to be put into stand-by, either locally only or by Zone 2 as well. < LOCAL ONLY: Only the main zone will be switched into stand-by from the main zone. < ALL OFF: Both the main zone and Zone 2 will be switched into stand-by from the main zone. Access: This acts as a `parental control' device to disable or enable access to sources for Zone 2. Press the unwanted source button on the remote control handset or front panel to disable it for Zone 2. Enabled sources are listed on the `Access:' line of the menu page. ADV 5 ­ Analogue Settings Input trims: Allows the adjustment of the input sensitivity of the analogue inputs (in Volts rms) so that each one achieves the optimum dynamic range and sounds similar in loudness to the others. Available level settings are: LOW 0. 5V, MEDIUM 1V, REFERENCE 2V, HIGH 4V. If a source is very quiet compared with the other sources you can increase its loudness by selecting the MEDIUM 1V or LOW 0. 5V settings. ADV 6 ­ HDMI Settings The AVR280 provides two HDMI inputs; these are labelled `DVD' and `SAT' in anticipation of the most common use for these connectors, but they may be used for any HDMI source. These inputs may be configured to be associated with any of the other sources, so that selecting that source (`AUX', for example), selects one of the HDMI inputs instead of the usual input associated with that source. NOTE: If the DVD button is assigned to an HDMI input, you will also be able to view the HDMI signal from the DVD player if the MCH (DVD-A multi-channel) button is selected. Saving Settings and Exit Set-up You can either save the settings now or exit without saving the changes. Press MENU to go to the `Set-up Menu Index' at the `Save Set-up' point. [. . . ] The main system control uses RC-5 system codes `16', with the tuner section using system code `17' (this is to provide compatability with existing ARCAM tuners). So, for example, to program in a `Stand-by' command, use the command `16-124'. Zone 2 also uses RC-5 system code 16 as standard, as Zone 2 is normally operated in a separate room using a standard (system code 16) remote control. Items shown in THIS STYLE indicate the equivalent remote control button of the supplied CR100 remote control. [. . . ]
