4. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the

remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+)
and (–) polarity indicators that are on the top of
the battery compartment.

5. Turn the AVR 335 on either by pressing the

Standby/On Switch

on the front panel, or

via the remote by pressing the

Power On Button

, the

AVR Selector

or any of the

Input

Selectors

on the remote. The

Power

Indicator

will turn blue to confirm that the

unit is on, and the

Front-Panel Displays

will

also light.

Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you may find
it easier to use the AVR 335’s on-screen display sys-
tem. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear pic-
ture of the current status of the unit and make it easy
to see which speaker, delay, input or digital selection
you are making.

To view the on-screen menus, make certain that you
have made a connection from the

Video

S-Video

Monitor Out Jack

on the rear panel to the

composite or S-video input of your TV or projector.
In order to view the AVR 335’s displays, the correct
video source must be selected on the video display.
The on-screen menus are not available when a com-
ponent video display is in use.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When viewing the on-screen

menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or
any direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important
that they not be left on the screen for an extended period
of time. The constant display of a static image such as
these menus or video game images may cause the
image to be permanently “burned into” the projection
tubes, plasma screen or CRT. This type of damage is not
covered by the AVR 335 warranty and may not be cov-
ered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.

The AVR 335 has two on-screen display modes,
“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making configura-
tion adjustments, it is recommended that the Full-OSD
mode be used. This will place an option listing on the
screen, making it easier to view the available options.

Making Configuration Adjustments

The full-OSD system is available by pressing the

OSD

Button

. When this button is pressed, the

MASTER MENU

(Figure 1) will appear, and

adjustments are made from the individual menus.

Figure 1

The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you
to make adjustments directly, by pressing the appro-
priate buttons on the front panel or remote control for
the specific parameter to be adjusted. For example, to
change the digital input for any of the sources, press
the

Digital Select Button

and then press the

⁄

Buttons

to scroll through the list of

options as they appear in the on-screen display or the

Lower Display Line

To use the full-OSD menu system, press the

OSD

Button

. When the menu is on the screen, press

the

⁄

Buttons

until the on-screen

›

cursor

is next to the item you wish to adjust, and then press
the

Set Button

to adjust that item. The menus

will remain on the screen for 20 seconds, and then
they will “time-out” and disappear from the screen. The
time-out may be increased to as much as 50 seconds
by going to the

ADVANCED

menu, and changing

the item titled

FULL OSD TIME OUT

When the full-OSD menu system is used,

OSD ON

will appear in the

Upper Display Line

to remind

you that a video display must be used. When the
semi-OSD system is used in conjunction with the dis-
crete configuration buttons, the on-screen display will
show the current menu selection. That selection will
also be shown in the

Upper Display Line

or the

Lower Display Line

, depending on which

parameter is being adjusted.

Setting the System Configuration Memory

The AVR 335 features an advanced memory system
that enables you to establish different configurations
for the speaker configuration, digital input, surround
mode, delay times, crossover frequency and output
levels for each input source. This flexibility enables you
to customize the way in which you listen to each
source and have the AVR 335 memorize those set-
tings. This means, for example, that you may use dif-
ferent output levels or trims for different sources, or
set different speaker configurations with the resultant
changes to the bass management system. Once these
settings are made, they will automatically be recalled
whenever you select that input.

However, we recommend that the first time you use
the AVR 335, you take advantage of the simplicity of

configuring the system using the EzSet+ process,
which takes the guesswork out of speaker size and
delay settings, and balances the speaker output levels
to tailor the AVR’s sound presentation to your specific
system and room. Before beginning the EzSet+ pro-
cedure, there are a few adjustments that need to be
made to ensure accurate results.

The factory default settings for the AVR 335 have all
inputs configured for an analog audio input except for
the DVD input, where the

Coaxial Digital Audio

Input 1

is the default. The default speaker settings

are “Small” for the front left/right, center and surround
left/right positions, and “None” for the surround back
left/right and the subwoofer. The default setting for the
surround modes for all analog inputs is the Logic 7
Music mode. Dolby Digital or DTS will automatically be
selected as appropriate when either of those bitstream
types is detected. When a 2-channel Dolby Digital
source is present, Dolby Pro Logic II will also be
selected automatically.

Before using the unit, you will probably want to
change the settings for most inputs so that they are
properly configured to reflect the use of digital or ana-
log inputs and the surround mode specifics of your
home theater system. Remember that since the
AVR 335 memorizes the settings for each input indi-
vidually, you will need to make these adjustments for
each input used. However, once they are made, further
adjustment is only required when system components
are changed.

To make this process as quick and easy as possible,
we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with
the on-screen menus, and step through each input.
Once you have completed the settings for the first
input, many settings may be duplicated for the
remaining inputs. It is also a good idea to set the
configuration data in the order these items are listed
in the

MASTER MENU

, as some settings require

a specific entry in a prior menu item. Remember that
once the settings are made for one input, they must
be made for all other input sources in your system.

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR 335 is to configure
each input. Once an input is selected, all settings for
the Digital Input, Speaker Configuration, Surround
Mode and Delay Timing will “attach” themselves to that
input and be stored in a nonvolatile memory. This
means that once made, the selection of an input will
automatically recall those settings. For that reason, the
procedures described below must be repeated for
each input source so that you have the opportunity to
customize each source to your specific listening
requirements. However, once made, they need not be
changed again unless you need to alter a setting.
