Video Processing
The AVR21EN features unique combination of video scaling and processing options that are
available when the unit is connected to a “digital ready” or HD capable display device. Thanks to
DCDi (

nterlacing) by Faroudja and a series of video parameter settings
that may be set and stored individually for each video input source, the AVR21EN provides the
ultimate in video, as well as audio reproduction.
To take advantage of the video processing circuits with your digital or HDTV compatible video
display, simply press the
Faroudja Button [oval 8]
on the remote hold it for a second, and then
release it. This will turn on the processing circuits as noted by the brief appearance of a message
reading
FAROUDJA: ON
in the AVR
Upper Display Line [square 33]
and in the on screen
display. Press and hold the button again to turn the processing off.
Once the processing is turned on, it will remain on until it is turned off by pressing the
Faroudja
Button [oval 8]
on the remote or the
Set/Video Button [square 8]
on the AVR front panel again
and releasing it so that you see a
FAROUDJA: OFF
message.
Surround Mode Selection
One of the most important features of the AVR21EN is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel
sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround-encoded programs and standard stereo
programs.
Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source
material being used. For example, motion pictures or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the
major surround encoding processes, such as Dolby Surround or DTS Stereo may be played in
either the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cinema, DTS Neo:6
Cinema, or Logic 7 Cinema surround modes, depending on the source material.
NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with matrix surround information, it retains the
surround information as long as the program is available in stereo. Thus, movies with surround
sound may be decoded via any of the analog surround modes such as Pro Logic II or IIx Cinema,
Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema, when they are broadcast via conventional TV stations,
cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission. Also, a growing number of TV programs, sports
broadcasts and radio dramas are also recorded in surround sound.
Even when a program is not listed as carrying intentional surround information, you may find that
the Pro Logic II, Logic 7 Enhanced or DTS Neo:6, and the Hall or Theater modes often deliver
enveloping surround presentations through the use of the natural information present in all stereo
recordings.
Surround modes may be changed at any time by using either the front panel or remote control.
To select a new surround mode from the front panel, first press the
Surround Mode Group
Selector Button [square 4]
until the desired major surround mode group such as Dolby, DTS or
Logic 7 is selected. Next, press the
Surround Mode Selector Button [square 5]
to choose the
specific individual surround mode.
To select a surround mode using the remote, after pressing the
AVR Button [oval 5]
, press the
Surround Button [oval 13]
repeatedly until the surround mode group that includes the mode
you wish to choose: Dolby , DTS Digital , DTS Neo:6 , Logic 7 , Stereo or DSP Surround appears
in the lower display line and in the On Screen Display. The first press of the button will show the
current mode from that group if it is already in use, or the first available mode if you are currently
using another mode. To cycle through the available modes in that group, press the

Navigation Button [oval 16]
until the desired mode appears in the
Lower Display Line [square
34],
and the on-screen display.
