AVR600 - Arcam

setup menus
The Setup menus allow you to configure all aspects
of your AVR600. The next few pages will go through
the menu items and explain their function. The Setup
menus will probably look quite daunting if you are new
to setting up home cinema, but the majority of them
need only be configured once when you first install the
system (or if your system changes or you move house!)
The only way to view the Setup menus is on your display
device (TV or projector) using the on-screen display
(OSD) capability of the AVR600. To view the OSD for
the initial setting up, connect any of the video outputs
to your display device. You do not need to have a video
source connected to the AVR600 video inputs.
Entering Setup mode
To enter the setup menu, press the menu button on the
remote control or font panel. The front panel display
shows ‘MENU’ and the setup menu (pictured right) is
displayed.
Unstable OSD menu or picture display?
The default AVR600 output video resolution when first
powered up out of the box is 525-line/60Hz NTSC for
analogue video and 480i/60 for digital video. This has
been chosen as most display devices can synchronise
to this automatically. This can be changed in the Video
Outputs section of the Setup Menus.
If the output resolution and frame rate is forced to a
setting your display device does not support, the picture
may become unstable or may not display at all. To reset
the output video resolution and frame rate to the default
values to restore the display, press and hold the OK
button for three seconds.

The left-hand panel lists the setup
screens available for adjustment. The

Navigating the setup menu

The lower right-hand panel gives a short
help text for the feature being adjusted.

frequency) or are not currently selectable (e.g.
network IP address when DHCP is used). Scroll bars
on the sides of the right hand panel indicate your
position in the settings list where there are more
items than can be displayed at once.
5. Pressing OK selects a setting to change it, pressing OK
again de-selects the setting.
6. At any time, press the menu button to exit the menu.
Any changes to settings are saved.
… using the keys on the front panel
The AVR600 front panel controls can be used to
configure the unit. Follow the instructions for using the
remote control, in this case using input– for left, input+
for right, volume– for down and volume+ for up.
