[. . . ] When the delay time for all speaker positions has been set you may return to the master menu by pressing the // ¤ Navigation Button n until the > cursor is pointing to BACK TO MASTER MENU and then pressing the Set Button n. However, if you have a digital video source or a digital video display that causes lack of lip sync you may use the A/V Sync adjust feature to delay the audio signal as it is sent to all channels (as opposed to the individual settings) so that the picture and sound are brought back together. We recommend that this adjustment be made using the direct access controls on the remote, as shown below. That enables you to see the image while making the adjustment; however, you may also adjust it here using the menu system. To adjust the A/V Sync delay, press the // ¤ Navigation Button n so that the > cursor is pointing to the A/V Sync Delay line on the menu and then press the </ > Navigation Button o to delay the sound sufficiently so that it matches the on-screen video. The delay settings may be adjusted at any time using the remote control and while viewing an on-screen image by pressing the Delay Select Button Y. The A/V Sync Delay setting is first, and it may be adjusted by pressing the Set Button p within five seconds of when the A/V SYNC DELAY message appears in the on-screen display and the Lower Display Line ¯. Then, press the </ > Navigation Button o to enter the desired delay setting that brings the video and sound back in sync. Note that the A/V Sync delay setting is unique to each video input source, so you may enter a different setting to compensate for the differences between any product attached to the Video 1, 2, 3 or 4 inputs. To change one of the individual speaker positions directly, press the Speaker Select Button Z, followed by the // ¤ Navigation Button n to select the desired position as that name appears in the on-screen display and the Lower Display Line ¯. When the name of the speaker position to be adjusted appears press the Set Button within five seconds. Press the </ > Navigation Button o to enter the desired delay setting for that speaker and then press the Set Button p to enter the setting. The // ¤ Navigation Button n may be used to select another position, or you may simply wait five Delay Settings Due to the different distances between the listening position and each speaker position, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from each channel is different. You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater. The AVR 235's advanced software enables you to quickly and easily set delay times without the need to calculate them using a complex formula. Instead, all you need to do is measure the approximate distance between your listening position and each of the speakers in your system. When you enter those distances into the AVR's memory as shown below, the AVR's microprocessor does the rest of the work, calculating the proper delay time. The measurements need not be accurate to the inch, as the system is designed to accommodate a typical listening area rather than require the precise measurement to one "sweet spot" position. In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individual speaker position, the AVR 235 is among the few A/V receivers that allows you to adjust the delay for the combined output of all speakers as a group. This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it allows you to compensate for delays to the video image that may be caused by the processing in products such as digital video displays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite systems, or personal video recorders. With proper adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital video applications. * >F C F S U A DELAY 2 2 2 0 FE NC F F F F E ADJUST T T T T T DE S S S S BR BL L UB : : : : : 1 1 1 1 * 0 0 0 0 F F F F T T T T L : 1 EN: 1 R : 1 R : 1 NIT: /V SY LAY 0mS BACK TO MASTER MENU Figure 7 Once the DELAY ADJUST menu is on-screen, note that the default for distance settings is in feet. If your measurements are in feet, proceed to the next step; for meters, press the ¤ Navigation Button n until the on-screen > cursor is at the UNIT line.
