System Setup
Once the speakers have been placed in 
the room and connected, the final step 
is to enter the configuration information
and balance the speaker output levels.
Before proceeding further this is a good
time to review the installation section 
of the manual to make certain that all
connections are properly made.

1. Plug the unit into an AC wall outlet
and press the 

button on either

the front panel 

1

or the remote 

c

.

Note that the ring surrounding the front
panel switch will turn green, and the
front panel display will illuminate. 

2. Install the supplied AAA batteries in 
the remote as shown on page 15.

3. Turn on the TV connected to the
receiver. Select the appropriate video
input on the TV.

Note: Although the unit will switch 
S-Video signals, the on-screen menus
control system is NOT visible on the 
S-Video output. 

4. Press the 

button 

j

on the

remote to bring the 

MAIN MENU

up on

your video screen. 

5. Press the 

¤

button four times until 

the on-screen cursor 

>

is pointing to

SET UP MENU

(see figure #1).

6. Press 

j

to move to the 

next screen, 

SET UP MENU 1

(see

figure #2).

7. 

SET UP MENU 1

enters the 

information that tells the AVR85 which
type of front and surround speakers 
will be used. In turn, these settings will
determine which speakers receive low 
frequency (bass) information. For the
purposes of establishing proper bass
reproduction, use the 

LARGE

settings if

the speaker being used at any position 
is a traditional full-range loudspeaker
that is capable of reproducing sounds
below 100Hz. Use the 

SMALL

setting for

smaller, frequency-limited satellite
speakers that are not able to reproduce
sounds below 100Hz. Note that when
“small” speakers are used it is advisable
to install a separate subwoofer.

8. Enter the information for the 

FRONT

CH

. speaker by using the 

‹

or 

›

buttons

i

on the remote to select the type of

front channel speaker that will be used.
Press the buttons so that 

LARGE

or

SMALL

is highlighted to match the

speaker type you will use as described in
item #7 above. The 

LARGE

setting sends a

full-range output to the front left/right
speakers, while the 

SMALL

setting sends

low-frequency sounds to the subwoofer
output. When the selection has been
made, press the 

¤

button once so that

the on-screen cursor 

>

is pointing 

to the 

SURROUND CH

. line of the 

display.
