Audioaccess AVR21EN Quick Start Manual

® AVR21EN. This Quick-Start Guide will help you with a basic main-room system installation. For detailed informa- tion on any step and for multiroom setup, please refer to the Audioaccess W.H.E.N.™Installation Instructions Manual. We strongly recommend that you read that manual for complete details on how to install, configure and operate the AVR21EN, as well as for the important safety information it contains. Figure 1 – Speaker Placement The colors shown for each speaker correspond to the matching output terminal connection on the back of the AVR21EN. NOTE: If only using 5.1, connect the surround speakers to the left side surround (S. SURR. LEFT) and right side surround (S. SURR. RIGHT), regardless of physical position.

The colors are standardized, but not all equipment or connectors use them.

Step 3. Connect the Subwoofer Pre-Out jack to the Line-In jack on your subwoofer. You may adjust the settings on the subwoofer later as needed. BACK SURROUND LEFT SPEAKER (7.1 CH.

Connect AM and FM antennas (Fig. 4). Step 5. Connect source components, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 and on the Device Connection Options chart on the back of this guide. AUDIO connections: Right channel (red) on source to right (red) on AVR, and left channel (white) on source to left (white) on AVR. DIGITAL AUDIO connections, if available: Choose either coaxial (orange) to coaxial (orange) OR optical to optical for each device. Before using any digital audio inputs for source equipment, you need to go into the AVR on-screen menu (Menu/Main Room Setup/ Sources) and assign a digital audio input to that source (see Step 7). VIDEO connections: Choose component (Y/Pb/Pr – green/blue/ red), composite (yellow) or S-video (4-pin) for each video source. Connect the component, composite and S-video monitor outputs to your video monitor (TV). If you are connecting composite video or S-video sources and only connecting the component outputs to your TV, or if using the HDMI output of the AVR21EN, make sure that the Faroudja® video processor is on (press the FAROUDJA button on your remote control). Switch your TV set’s input to match the type of video used for the currently selected source. Step 6. Plug all components into AC power outlets. The outlets on the back of the AVR21EN should be used only for low-current products, such as CD or DVD players, and the total should not exceed 100 watts. Basic Receiver Configuration Step 7. Select digital inputs: Go into the AVR on-screen menu (Menu/Main Room Setup/Sources) and assign an available digital audio coaxial or optical input to that source. Step 8. Plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the Microphone jack behind the door on the front panel. Place the microphone in a location near the center of the room, and then follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual and the on-screen menus to run EzSet/EQ. Note that you will hear a series of test tones. When the on-screen menu indicates that EzSet/EQ is complete, your system settings for speakers, delay times, channel output and room equalization are entered into the unit’s memory. Unplug the microphone and keep it for future use. Step 9. Your system is configured – sit back and enjoy. Figure 4 – Audio Connections Dashed lines (– – – –) indicate coaxial and optical digital audio connections. Choose either type (but not both) for each digital audio source. NOTE: You must connect analog audio in addition to any digital audio connection if you are using the multiroom distribution network.

It may be necessary to make BOTH analog and digital connections if it is not. NOTE: If a multiroom network is used, analog audio and composite video must be connected for all sources. In addition to analog audio and composite video, other audio and video inputs can be connected for use in the main room. 250 Crossways Park Drive Woodbury New York 11797 www audioaccess com ©2007 Harman International Industries Incorporated All rights reserved Part No ZKD6615HA00 Figure 6 – Video Connections Dotted lines (••••) indicate component, composite or S-video connections from your video source equipment to the AVR21EN. Component video is the preferred connection from your sources when available, but you may use any of the three types. The AVR21EN is configured from the factory to automatically select the highest-quality video connection for a source if more than one type of video output is connected from the same source. For AVR21EN to TV/projector connection, HDMI (if available on TV/projector) or component video connection is preferred. If you are connecting composite video or S-video sources and only connecting the component outputs to your TV, or if using the HDMI output of the AVR21EN, make sure that the Faroudja video processor is on (press the FAROUDJA button on your remote control). Switch your TV set’s input to match the type of video used for the currently selected source. NOTE: You must connect composite video in addition to any other video connection from all video sources if you are using the multiroom video distribution network.
