Anthem Audio AVM 30-HD - Manual (Page 23)

3. SETUP MENU
For optimum performance and enjoyment, it is crucial that your AVM 50 be properly set up. This may appear
like a lot of work, however, most settings do not need to be changed from the factory defaults.
The most important things are entering how many speakers you have (the factory default is 7.1-channel) and
the distance from each speaker to the listening area (menu 3), balancing speaker output levels to one
another (menu 4), and entering information about your display (menu 8). The rest are largely for fine tuning
and personal preference – the surround mode presets in menu 5, for example, should be set up after you
have played a variety of source material and have decided which surround modes you like best.
Menus that involve audio test signals should be set up in the order that they appear. Illustrations throughout
this section show the On-Screen display menus in that order. For ease of viewing, use of the On-Screen
display is recommended, although the Front Panel display shows similar information.
Alternatively, most of the setup can be done on your personal computer through RS-232 connection and a
program called Setup Editor (available from our web site). Setup Editor can also save your configuration as
a backup file. Setup Editor cannot play test tones – calibration still has to be done with the Setup Menu.
HOW TO ENTER THE SETUP MENU
The Setup Menu can be accessed from either MAIN or ZONE2. The On-Screen display shows only in that
Path (MAIN – any output except Composite, ZONE2 – S-Video only). Audio test signals only play from MAIN.
To enter the Setup Menu:
Remote Control Front Panel
Make sure the appropriate control mode is set, Make sure the appropriate Path is selected, then press
then press SUB/LFE (SETUP) for 3 seconds. and hold STATUS (Setup) for 3 seconds.
HOW TO NAVIGATE INSIDE THE SETUP MENU
• Use the buttons to scroll through menus.
• Press SELECT to choose a menu item.
• Use the and buttons to change settings.
• Press BACK to return to previous item or menu.
HOW TO EXIT FROM THE SETUP MENU
Press BACK as many times as necessary. Each time BACK is pressed, the previous item or menu returns. The
Setup will exit automatically if not used for 5 minutes to prevent the potential of a burned-in On-Screen image
with some types of display.
