The settings available on Page 2 of the
ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
menu
(Figure 12-2) are the following:
VCR SYNC TIME ENH
: When this setting
is turned on circuits are applied to correct for
irregular sync timing signals that are common
when a VCR is in use. The enhancement pro-
vided is similar to the effect achieved by using
the tracking control on a VCR.
TEST VIDEO
: The test signals that are
called up on this line are designed for use in
factory setup of the AVR 7300’s video process-
ing circuit and they are not designed for user
adjustment of any controls on your video
sources, on your video display or on the
AVR 7300 itself. You may bypass this setting line
unless you wish to view the signals, but remem-
ber that they are not designed for any consumer
use.
To view the test signals, with the on-screen
➔
cursor next to the
TEST VIDEO
line, press
the
‹
/
›
Navigation Buttons
E
to select
one of the test signals described below, and
then press the
Set Button
F
to activate the
test signal. The test signal will remain on the
screen for the length of time selected in the
ADVANCED SETTINGS
menu for the
on-screen menus, as explained on page 43. The
four test signals are:
Color Bars
: These are a variation of tra-
ditional split-field color bars used to check the
internal settings for luminance/chrominance
voltage levels with respect to the eight basic
colors.
Triangle Fixed
: This test signal puts
two opposing triangles on-screen, with a black
triangle on the right and a white triangle on
the left to test aspects of the pull-down logic
software.
Triangle Flashing
: This test signal
also puts two opposing black and white trian-
gles on the screen, but it flashes them at a
high frame rate to test the 3/2 pull-down edit
detection and other aspects of the processor
and interpolation software.
Ramp/Square
: This complex pattern
uses a variety of fixed and pulsating gray-scale
tests to test different aspects of the 3/2 pull-
down edit detection and other aspects of the
processor and interpolation software.
BRIGHTNESS
: The changes to this setting
are similar to the Brightness control on your dis-
play, changing the video level. If circumstances
are such that a source has a low signal and
appears dark you may wish to change this set-
ting, but be careful not to increase it to the
point where the video display is over-driven into
clipping or blooming.
CONTRAST
: The changes to this setting are
similar to the Contrast control on your display,
changing the black level to compensate for poor
contrast.
SATURATION
: The changes to this setting
are similar to the Color control on your display,
and may be used as needed to compensate for
over or under color saturation.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages
have been made, the AVR is ready for operation.
While there are some additional settings to be
made, these are best done after you have had an
opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and
different kinds of program material. These
advanced settings are described on pages 42 to
43 of this manual. In addition, any of the settings
made in the initial configuration of the unit may
be changed at any time. As you add new or dif-
ferent sources or speakers, or if you wish to
change a setting to better reflect your listening
taste, simply follow the instructions for changing
the settings for that parameter as shown in this
section.
Note that any settings changed at any time, also
when the discrete buttons are used only, will be
stored in memory in the AVR, also if it´s turned off
completely, unless it will be reset (see page 56).
Having completed the setup and configuration
process for your AVR, you are about to experience
the finest in music and home-theater listening.
Enjoy!
