Video Inputs<br />

Settings to optionally assign a video source to each of<br />

the normally audio-only inputs.<br />

These settings are stored in memory and recalled each<br />

time the unit is powered up.<br />

Video Input Tape –<br />

Video Input CD –<br />

Video Input Aux –<br />

Video Input AM / FM –<br />

Video Input Phono –<br />

Video Input MCH –<br />

Video Input iPod –<br />

Video Input Net –<br />

Video In Digital Radio –<br />

The default for each of the audio inputs is ‘None’,<br />

however for example you could associate the satellite<br />

‘Sat’ video with AM, FM and Digital Radio audio if you<br />

wished. This way you could listen to the FM or AM or<br />

Digital Radio commentary of a sports game but have the<br />

pictures from the satellite coverage.<br />

Video Outputs<br />

The settings in this menu control the output resolution<br />

from the video processor in the <strong>AVR600</strong> as well as the<br />

operation of the two HDMI outputs.<br />

These settings are applied to all video inputs and are<br />

stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is<br />

powered up.<br />

NOTE<br />

Important points to remember:<br />

For analogue outputs<br />

The analogue output resolution should be chosen<br />

carefully; Composite and S-Video connections can<br />

only carry 480i (525-line NTSC) or 576i (625-line<br />

PAL) signals. If an output resolution higher than this<br />

is chosen in Out 1 Resolution, the Composite and<br />

S-Video main zone outputs will be disabled.<br />

You should also set the frame rate (50Hz Interlaced<br />

for PAL, 60Hz Interlaced for NTSC) and the<br />

aspect ratio (4:3 standard or 16:9 widescreen) to<br />

match your display device. Note that S-Video and<br />

Composite can only carry Interlaced video. If you<br />

select Progressive analogue video, Zone 1 S-Video<br />

and Composite outputs will be disabled.<br />

For HDMI outputs<br />

The output resolution, frame rate and display<br />

aspect ratio can be automatically determined by<br />

the <strong>AVR600</strong>. Alternatively these settings can be<br />

manually selected. If you have two HDMI display<br />

devices connected, you can also configure which of<br />

the two HDMI outputs takes priority.<br />

Zone 1 OSD – Selects whether the main zone pop-up<br />

OSD messages are On or Off. It is stored in memory and<br />

recalled each time the unit is powered up.<br />

< When On, all user adjustments that are made<br />

during the general use of the <strong>AVR600</strong> are displayed<br />

on screen as well as the front panel display. This<br />

includes the adjustment of volume, subwoofer level,<br />

lip sync, tone controls, etc. It is stored in memory<br />

and recalled each time the unit is powered up.<br />

< When Off, the above user adjustments will not<br />

appear on screen, only on the front panel display.<br />

This leaves the picture on your display device clear<br />

of pop-up text. However, regardless of this setting<br />

the Setup menus are always displayed on screen.<br />

Analogue Output – This setting controls the output<br />

resolution of the analogue video outputs of Zone 1.<br />

This applies to all Zone 1 analogue video outputs:<br />

Component, S-Video and Composite. This setting is<br />

only valid if neither of the HDMI outputs Out 1 or Out 2<br />

are being used at the time. See ‘Important points to<br />

remember’ above regarding analogue resolutions.<br />

The dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the<br />

<strong>AVR600</strong> video processor can output.<br />

Analogue Frame Rate – This setting controls the output<br />

frame rate of the analogue video outputs of Zone 1.<br />

This applies to all Zone 1 analogue video outputs:<br />

Component, S-Video and Composite. This setting is<br />

only valid if neither of the HDMI outputs Out 1 or Out 2<br />

are being used at the time. See the Note ‘Important<br />

points to remember’ regarding analogue frame rates.<br />

Display Type – Set the aspect ratio of your display<br />

device; 4:3 standard or 16:9 widescreen.<br />

Output Switching – This setting controls the operation<br />

of the two HDMI outputs.<br />

< Auto-Priority Out 1/Out 2 senses which display<br />

device is turned on and gives priority to the named<br />

output (Out 1 or Out 2) if both display devices are on<br />

at the same time. When both display devices are on<br />

at the same time, the output with the highest priority<br />

is used to configure the settings of the <strong>AVR600</strong> video<br />

processor.<br />

< Output 1 or Output 2: forces only the named HDMI<br />

output to be enabled.<br />

< Output 1 & 2: enables both HDMI outputs<br />

simultaneously. In order to do this however, the<br />

settings of the <strong>AVR600</strong> video processor are reduced<br />

down to the highest common set that can be<br />

supported by both display devices.<br />

Out 1 Resolution – This setting controls the output<br />

resolution of HDMI output Out 1. This setting is only<br />

valid if HDMI output Out 1 is the only active HDMI<br />

output at the time.<br />

< The dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the<br />

<strong>AVR600</strong> video processor can output. Resolutions<br />

that are not supported by the connected display<br />

device are greyed out and cannot be selected.<br />

< Preferred: sets the Out 1 resolution to be the<br />

preferred resolution that is requested by the display<br />

device. This is often the highest resolution the<br />

display device can receive.<br />

Out 1 Frame Rate – This setting controls the output<br />

frame rate of HDMI output Out 1. This setting is only<br />

valid if HDMI output Out 1 is the only active HDMI<br />

output at the time.<br />

< The dropdown list shows all the frame rates that the<br />

<strong>AVR600</strong> video processor can output. Frame rates<br />

that are not supported by the connected display<br />

device at the above resolution are greyed out and<br />

cannot be selected.<br />

< Auto sets the Out 1 frame rate to be the preferred<br />

frame rate that is requested by the display device for<br />

the currently used resolution.<br />

Lipsync 1 – (Information only) Displays how much lip<br />

sync is automatically applied to HDMI output Out 1 to<br />

compensate for video processing delays in the attached<br />

display device. Not all display devices support this<br />

function.<br />

Out 2 Resolution – This setting controls the output<br />

resolution of HDMI output Out 2. This setting is only<br />

valid if HDMI output Out 2 is the only active HDMI<br />

output at the time.<br />

< The dropdown list shows all the resolutions that the<br />

<strong>AVR600</strong> video processor can output. Resolutions<br />

that are not supported by the connected display<br />

device are greyed out and cannot be selected.<br />

< Preferred: sets the Out 2 resolution to be the<br />

preferred resolution that is requested by the display<br />

device. This is often the highest resolution the<br />

display device can receive.<br />

Out 2 Frame Rate – This setting controls the output<br />

frame rate of HDMI output Out 2. This setting is only<br />

valid if HDMI output Out 2 is the only active HDMI<br />

output at the time.<br />

< The dropdown list shows all the frame rates that the<br />

<strong>AVR600</strong> video processor can output. Frame rates<br />

that are not supported by the connected display<br />

device at the above resolution are greyed out and<br />

cannot be selected.<br />

< Auto: sets the Out 2 frame rate to be the preferred<br />

frame rate that is requested by the display device for<br />

the currently used resolution.<br />

Lipsync 2 – (Information only) Displays how much lip<br />

sync is automatically applied to HDMI output Out 2 to<br />

compensate for video processing delays in the attached<br />

display device. Not all display devices support this<br />

function.<br />
