Video inputs

Settings to optionally assign a video source to each of 

the normally audio-only inputs. 
These settings are stored in memory and recalled each 

time the unit is powered up.

Video Input CD –  
Video Input Aux –  
Video Input AM / FM –  
Video Input MCH –  
Video Input iPod –  
Video Input Net –  
Video In Digital Radio –

 

The default for each of the audio inputs is ‘none’, 

however for example you could associate the satellite 

‘Sat’ video with AM, FM and Digital radio audio if you 

wished. This way you could listen to the FM or AM or 

Digital radio commentary of a sports game but have the 

pictures from the satellite coverage.

Video outputs

The settings in this menu control the output resolution 

from the video processor in the AVr360. These settings 

are applied to all video inputs and are stored in memory 

and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

NOTE

important points to remember:

For the analogue output 

You should set the frame rate (50Hz Interlaced for 

PAL, 60Hz Interlaced for nTSC) and the aspect 

ratio (4:3 standard or 16:9 widescreen) to match 

your display device. 

For the HDMI output 

The output resolution, frame rate and display 

aspect ratio can be automatically determined by 

the AVr360. Alternatively these settings can be 

manually selected. 

Zone 1 OSD

 – Selects whether the main zone pop-up 

OSD messages are On or Off. It is stored in memory and 

recalled each time the unit is powered up.

<

  When 

On

, all user adjustments that are made 

during the general use of the AVr360 are displayed 

on screen as well as the front panel display. This 

includes the adjustment of volume, subwoofer level, 

lip sync, tone controls, etc. It is stored in memory 

and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

<

  When 

Off

, the above user adjustments will not 

appear on screen, only on the front panel display. 

This leaves the picture on your display device clear 

of pop-up text. However, regardless of this setting 

the Setup menus are always displayed on screen. 

Zone 2 OSD

 – Selects whether the Zone 2 pop-up OSD 

messages are On or Off. It is stored in memory and 

recalled each time the unit is powered up.

Analogue Output

 – This setting controls the output 

resolution of the analogue video output of Zone 1. The 

dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the AVr360 

video processor can output. 

Analogue Frame Rate

 – This setting controls the output 

frame rate of the analogue video outputs of Zone 1. This 

setting is only valid if the HDMI output is not being 

used at the time. See the note ‘Important points to 

remember’ regarding analogue frame rates.

Display Type

 – Set the aspect ratio of your display 

device; 4:3 standard or 16:9 widescreen.

HDMI Output Resolution

 – This setting controls the 

output resolution of the HDMI output.

The dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the 

AVr360 video processor can output. resolutions 

that are not supported by the connected display 

device are greyed out and cannot be selected.

<

 

Preferred:

 sets the output resolution to be the 

preferred resolution that is requested by the display 

device. This is often the highest resolution the 

display device can receive.

<

 

Bypass:

 this is a special mode where video passes 

straight through the AVr360 without alteration. 

Use this mode to watch 3D content on a 3D 

television. This mode also allows the AVr360 to 

output video with a 23.976Hz frame rate. The output 

resolution and frame rate will be identical to the 

input resolution and frame rate. The display must be 

capable of supporting the input resolution and frame 

rate — if the input video format is not supported by 

the display there will be no picture.

Output Frame Rate

 – This setting controls the output 

frame rate of the HDMI output.

The dropdown list shows all the frame rates that the 

AVr360 video processor can output. Frame rates 

that are not supported by the connected display 

device at the above resolution are greyed out and 

cannot be selected.

Auto

 sets the 

HDMi

 

OUT

 frame rate to be the 

preferred frame rate that is requested by the display 

device for the currently used resolution. 

Follow input

 sets the 

HDMi

 

OUT

 frame rate to be the 

same as the input frame rate. Use this setting if you 

regularly switch between 24Hz and 50/60Hz content 

and have a 24p compatible TV.

Lipsync – 

(Information only) Displays how much lip 

sync is automatically applied to the HDMI output to 

compensate for video processing delays in the attached 

display device. not all display devices support this 

function.

button. Settings are Yes or no. The list is divided into 

two sections depending on the source audio type. 

See section “decoding modes” on page E-40 for more 

information on each processing and decoding mode.
These settings are applied to all audio inputs and are 

stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is 

powered up.

For Stereo sources:

Dolby ProLogic –  
Dolby PLIIx Movie –  
Dolby PLIIx Music –  
Dolby PLIIx Game –  
Neo:6 Cinema –
Neo:6 Music –

The first section, ‘Stereo sources’ is the list of processing 

modes you wish to make available for stereo signals 

(analogue stereo, digital PCM stereo, Dolby 2.0, DTS 

2.0, etc). When a stereo signal is applied, each press of 

the 

MODE

 button cycles through the processing modes 

you have enabled in the ‘Stereo sources’ section. The 

unprocessed Stereo option is always available for stereo 

signals therefore it is not shown in the list.

For Multi-channel sources:

Stereo Downmix – 
Dolby Digital EX –  
Dolby PLIIx Movie –  
Dolby PLIIx Music –

 

The second section, ‘Multi-channel sources’ is the list 

of processing modes you wish to make available for 

multi-channel digital signals (any Dolby or DTS digital 

stream that has more channels than stereo 2.0). When a 

multi-channel digital signal is applied, each press of the 

MODE

 button cycles through the processing modes you 

have enabled in the ‘Multi-channel sources’ section.
