Speaker Configuration 

(applies to MAIN only)

:

Choose between Cinema (menu 2a.) or Music (menu 2b.) configuration – see section 7.4.2.

A third and unique choice is also available: Auto-LFE. When selected, the AVM 20 automatically uses the
Cinema configuration if there is LFE in the source material, and changes to the Music configuration at all
other times. Highly recommended when using the same player for DVDs and CDs, and separate Cinema and
Music configurations. Dolby Digital 2.0 falls under Music configuration since there are no issues with LFE.

Composite Video, S-Video, Component Video:

Assign which video input (or ‘None’) is used when the Source is selected. For example, if you want the
satellite picture always available when you select the FM • AM Tuner, assign the video inputs in the FM/AM
menu to the same ones being used in the SAT menu. All video inputs can be assigned to multiple Sources.

Lip-Sync Delay 

(applies to MAIN only)

:

Using line doublers, quadruplers, or scalers causes the video to be delayed, which means that you will hear
sound slightly ahead of seeing the video picture. This can also occur with HDTV and satellite broadcasts. To
compensate, Lip-Sync Delay can delay the sound of all channels simultaneously by up to 85 milliseconds –
please check the owner’s manual for your doubler, quadrupler, or scaler for recommended delay settings. If
you do not know how much delay is in the video, you can also set Lip-Sync Delay ‘on-the-fly’ as described
in section 6.7 – this allows you to see the picture as you make adjustments.

Mode Presets 

(applies to MAIN only)

:

You can pre-select the Mode and THX preference that will be applied when a Source is selected or MAIN
power is turned on. Each type of program material has a separate setting. Presets do not apply to Sources
set to Anlg-Dir. 

To disable a preset, set it to ‘Last Used’ and make new Mode selection after exiting Setup.

For complete descriptions of surround modes and when to use them, refer to section 5.8.

Use the 

56

buttons to highlight one of the lines above in the menu, then use the 

34

buttons to scroll

through the selections.
