Using the On-Screen Display
When making the following adjustments, you may find
it easier to use the AVR 7200’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 you have
made a connection from the
Video Monitor Output
Jack
d
on the rear panel to the composite or S-
Video input of your TV or projector. In order to view
the AVR 7200’s displays, the correct video source
must be selected on the video display. The on-screen
menus are not available when a component 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 peri-
od 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 7200 warranty and may not be
covered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.
The AVR 7200 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

to scroll through the
list of options as they appear in the on-screen display
or the

To use the full-OSD menu system, press the
OSD
Button
. When the menu is on the screen, press
the

Navigation Button

until the on-
screen
›
cursor is next to the item you wish to adjust,
and then press the
Set Button
p
to adjust that
item. The menus will remain on the screen for 20 sec-
onds, 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 system is in use, the menu selec-
tions are not shown in the
Main Information Display
˜AB
. When the full-OSD menu system is used,
OSD ON
will appear in the
Upper Display Line
A
and the
OSD Indicator
C
will light 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 a single line of text with the current menu selec-
tion. That selection will also be shown in the
Upper
Display Line
A
or the
Lower Display Line
B
,
depending on which parameter is being adjusted.
Setting the System Configuration Memory
The AVR 7200 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 custom-tailor the way in which you listen to each
source and have the AVR 7200 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.
The factory default settings for the AVR 7200 have all
inputs except for DVD 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 for “Large” speakers at the front
left/right, “Small” at all other positions, and for the
Subwoofer set as being on. However, once the DSP
processing system is used for the first time for any
input, the speaker settings will automatically default
to “Small” at all positions with the subwoofer set to
“LFE.” The default setting for the surround modes is
“Surround Off,” or two-channel stereo, although Dolby
Digital or DTS will automatically be selected as appro-
priate when a source with digital encoding is in use.
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, the type of speakers installed and the sur-
round mode specifics of your home theater system.
Remember that since the AVR 7200 memorizes the
settings for each input individually, 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 as easy as possi-
ble, 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 remain-
ing inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configura-
tion 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 7200 is to config-
ure 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 non-volatile 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
custom tailor each source to your specific listening
requirements. However, once made they need not be
changed again unless you need to alter a setting.
When using the full-OSD system to make the setup
adjustments, press the
OSD Button
once so that
