The Outlaws’ Guide to the Marantz AV7005
The
Audio Setup
sub-menu has two options: 7.1ch input subwoofer level and EQ
customization. We will address both of these on page 53. For now, we will skip both of
these.
If you are connecting the AV7005 to your home network, you will need to enter the
Network Setup
sub-menu to enable that connection. In most cases, leaving DHCP set
to the default value (“ON”) will suffice. If you need to manually specify an IP address,
gateway, or DNS server(s), please see page 54 for more details on this sub-menu. That
page will also explain how to enable network support when the AV7005 is in standby
mode, how to customize the AV7005’s network name, how to set the AV7005 to notify
you when updated firmware is available, and how to set up a Rhapsody or Napster
account.
The
Zone Setup
sub-menu provides access to some audio adjustments such as tone
controls, left/right levels, volume control, and muting for the Zone 2 and Zone 3 outputs.
If you connected the Zone 2 or Zone 3 outputs when installing the AV7005, you will
want to check out our detailed discussion of these controls starting on page 55. For the
initial setup, this sub-menu can be skipped.
Option Setup Sub-Menu
One of the most extensive sub-menus in the AV7005 is the
Option Setup
sub-menu.
This menu covers volume control, source selection, the graphical user interface (GUI),
Component 2 output, zone renaming, 12V trigger output, front panel display, setup lock,
maintenance mode, and firmware updates. We will cover many of these in the
Roadmap to the Setup Menu
starting on page 56. While we are here, though, we’ll look
at Trigger Out because it is frequently used to turn on the AV7005’s separate power
amps.
The first option in the Trigger Out sub-menu is Trigger 1, which is set to “On” by default
for the main zone, zone 2, and zone 3 trigger out settings. To use the trigger to power
on a separate amplifier for either zone, select the zone (Main Zone, Zone 2, or Zone 3)
and use the
◄
and
►
buttons to change it between “---“ and “On.” A second option
under Trigger Out is provided for Trigger 2, with the same adjustments available.
