AVR280

The ‘Basic’ Set-up Menus

1 – General Settings:

Max Volume

: This limits the maximum volume setting the system can be turned

up to. This is a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low power-
handling speakers, for example.

Max On Volume

: Limits the maximum volume the system operates at when it is

first switched on. The system comes on at the ‘Max On Volume’ if the last used

(possibly very loud) volume exceeds this value.

Delay units

: Controls whether the delay settings for the speakers in surround

modes are specified in Imperial or Metric measurements from the listening

position, or in terms of time. Either enter the time delay to each channel if
calculating the delay in milliseconds, or select between Imperial or Metric
measurements and allow the AVR280 to calculate the time delay automatically.
Imperial is measured in feet and Metric is measured more precisely in 0.1m
(10cm) increments (1 foot is approximately 0.3 metres).

Note that changing the units resets all distances/times to zero. It is therefore
important to choose the units (Time, Imperial or Metric) before set up.

OSD Mode

: Controls how the on-screen display is viewed.

MIXED

the OSD will appear on top of the existing video picture

FULL PAGE

: the OSD is displayed in white on a full screen black background.

On video signals that have a sync rate of greater than the normal interlaced rate (i.e.,
progressive scan, frame-scaled video, HDTV) the OSD will automatically go into Full Page mode
(black background) so that the control menu can be accessed. Any pop-up displays (such as the
volume bar, source selection information, etc) will be switched off.

Note that no on-screen display is available over the HDMI connection.

Video Status: The video status control is intended for use with SCART connections, but may find

use for other purposes. It is possible to use a SCART connection between the AVR280 and your
television even though the AVR280 does not have a SCART socket; a pin-out for a SCART lead
suitable for this purpose is given on page 32. We suggest the ‘SQART’ cables manufactured by
QED (www.qed.co.uk); please ask your dealer for details.

This setting controls the two video triggers

on the rear panel and is used to inform the

AVR280 which type of video connection is present between it and your TV, in order that the
AVR280 can set the control lines correctly for SCART connections. Note that if you do not wish to
use the video triggers or a SCART connection, then it does not matter which value this item has.

This item has four settings:

Composite

S-video

RGB

and

Scrn Ctrl

Composite

This mode is used to

indicate to your TV that composite
video is being sent. It uses the trigger
labelled

1/RGB

(which should be

connected to the RGB SCART input on
your TV), as shown. Select this option
if you are using the composite video
output of the AVR280.
The

2/S-VIDEO

trigger is not active in

this mode.

S-Video

: This mode is used to

indicate to your TV that S-video is
being sent. It uses the trigger labelled

2/S-VIDEO

, as shown. Select this

option if you are using the S-video
output of the AVR280.
Note that, if this option is selected,
the connection labelled ‘S-video
SCART’ (or similar) must be used on
the TV, as not all SCART connectors
are wired for S-video.
The

1/RGB

trigger is not active in this

mode.

RGB

: This mode is used to indicate to

your TV that RGB video is being sent.
It uses the trigger labelled

1/RGB

, as

shown. Select this option if you are
using the RGB output of the AVR280.
If this option is selected, the
connection labelled ‘RGB SCART’ (or
similar) must be used on the TV, as
not all SCART connectors are wired
for RGB.
The

2/S-VIDEO

trigger is not active in

this mode.

Scrn Ctrl

: The two video triggers on

the rear panel have the same signal
for all outputs. This will be +12V when any video source is selected, otherwise 0V. This can be
used (for example) to unfurl projector screens automatically when a video source is selected.
