SCART RGB 4-WIRE CONNECTION (SCART refers to the multi-pole A/V connector used commonly on European A/V equipment.) Some video projectors and most European TV sets require the use of a 4-wire RGB connection, where the ‘sync’ signal is separate from RGB. In this case, you need to use the composite video MONITOR OUT for the sync information. A cable is available from your dealer to make this 4-wire RGB dn connection (refer to the table of SCART connections at the back of the manual). Note that

Connecting the AM and FM antennas FM antenna A VHF antenna is required to receive FM radio signals. AM Although a VHF ribbon antenna is supplied as an accessory to the AVP700, for optimal FM radio reception fq GND a roof- or loft-mounted aerial is advised as this will give superior reception. It is recommended that any roof-top antenna is fi tted by an experienced contractor as a contractor will be able to align your antenna FM to the nearest FM transmitter. fr In some areas cable radio may b

Confi guring the AVP700 The AVP700 ‘Set-up Menu’ has six ‘Basic’ and six ‘Advanced’ menu screens that take you through the confi guration process. The ‘Basic’ menus enable you to match your AVP700 to your speakers; the ‘Advanced’ menus allow you to optimise the operation of your system. Screen shots of these menus are shown in shaded boxes on the following pages. The best way to set the AVP700 up is using the on-screen display (OSD). To view the OSD for the initial set up, use the composite

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 over-driving of low power- handling speakers, for example. Max On Volume: Limits the maximum volume the system operates at when it is fi rst 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 s

HQ Video: Choose between RGB or YUV; if you have a YUV display, set this item to YUV, otherwise set it to RGB. This setting controls the routing of the HQ-video within the AVP700, either as 3-wire YUV or 4- wire RGB signals (with the synchronisation signal on composite for RGB). In addition, it controls the operation of the S-video/composite-to-HQ video converter. When set to YUV, incoming composite and S-video signals are converted to YUV; in RGB mode, the incoming signals are converted to R

����� ����� Sub Stereo: This setting allows the volume level of the sub woofer to be adjusted for when the sub woofer is being used with 2-channel (stereo) sources. The sub woofer level for stereo music often needs to be set at a lower level than that for cinema use; use this trim setting, with a stereo source, to reduce the sub woofer output in stereo playback to an acceptable level. The level required depends on various factors such as speakers, the types and styles of music to be played a

5 – Level settings The relative sensitivity of different speakers can lead to some speakers sounding disproportionately loud or quiet, relative to others in the system. The level settings of your AVP700 can help to address this in-balance. It is important to calibrate the speakers correctly to achieve an accurately centred sound stage. If possible, we recommend you use a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter) to perform this part of the set-up as it is diffi cult to judge the levels accurate

The ‘Advanced’ Set-up Menus ADV 1 – Speaker Eq. This allows fi ne adjustment of bass and treble in 1dB steps (up to ±6dB) for each of the speakers in the system. Use these adjustments sparingly to compensate for speaker response problems caused by positioning, adjacent surface textures, or mixed brands of loudspeakers. Work with one speaker on at a time and, as an example, use the bass control to reduce boom problems for speakers placed in corners, and the treble control for speakers placed

ADV 4 – Zone 2 Settings ZONE2 VOL: Sets the volume for Zone 2. Max Vol 20–83: Limits the maximum volume setting for Zone 2. This is a useful feature to prevent accidental over-driving of low power-handling speakers, for example. Fix Vol: This selects between fi xed and variable audio output to Zone 2. If NO is selected, the output level can be controlled from Zone 2 or the main system. If you wish to fi x the volume level, fi rst set the Zone 2 volume to the desired level, then select YES. M
