  • Anthem AVM 20, 41 7. SETUP MENU The Setup is where all the user definable operating characteristics / calibrations / customized configurations are entered. For optimum performance and enjoyment, it is crucial that your AVM 20 be properly set up. For ease of viewing, use of the On-Screen display is strongly recommended whether accessing the Setup from the Remote Control or Front Panel. The On-Screen and Front Panel displays are synchronized with one another. Illustrations throughout this section show the On-Screen display menus. The Front Panel display of the AVM 20 has similar information fields. If you are using Component video, do the following so you can see the Setup men

  • Anthem AVM 20, 44 Digital: When you select Digital and connect the digital output from your source component, you can still use the analog L/R connections from that same source component to provide Analog input for the other Paths (ZONE2, ZONE3, RECORD, HPHONE). Audio/Video-In Format/MAIN also allows for three other adjustments: • Assign the type of digital connection: For Digital Sources, choose RCA, TOS1, TOS2, TOS3, or XLR. • Adjust Levels: If Anlg-DSP or Anlg-Dir is selected, you can match Source levels in MAIN to each other so there are no large changes in volume as you change Sources.

  • Anthem AVM 20, 45 7. SETUP MENU continued … Example 2: Adjust TAPE Analog Level. • Make sure TAPE source component is connected to Analog Inputs and playing. • Enter the Setup (section 7.1).

  • Anthem AVM 20, 46 7. SETUP MENU continued … Output of DIGITAL1 (when MAIN is copied to REC): This isn’t really a setting on to its own, but is meant to indicate that MAIN digital signal processing and DIGITAL1 output are the same – ‘b. 2-ch Anlg-DSP’ and ‘c. DIG.1 when -MAIN->REC’ are linked and change together. It also shows that the digital output is 24-bit, which will still work if connected to 16- or 20-bit equipment with S/PDIF input, although the least significant bits (including dithering) will not be used. Output of DIGITAL2: Set it as a fixed pass-through of any digi

  • Anthem AVM 20, 47 Subwoofer Settings: You only have the flexibility to choose how bass information is distributed to your speakers if you have large left/right front speakers and a subwoofer as part of your home theatre speaker system. Options include: •‘No’ All bass is routed to ‘Large’ L/R Front and Surround speakers, including bass from speakers set to ‘Small’ plus bass from the ‘.1’ LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel. •‘Yes’ When L/R Fronts are set to ‘Large’, their bass will stay with the L/R Fronts and not go to the subwoofer. In the ‘Yes’ setting, bass from speakers set to ‘Small’ will

  • Anthem AVM 20, 48 7. SETUP MENU continued … Advanced Settings Setup – Subwoofer Phase and Polarity: You can also make precise Subwoofer Phase and Polarity adjustments. These allow you to optimize the the bass performance of the subwoofer in your system as needed. Room acoustics vary. If you have the flexibility, experiment with subwoofer placement to determine where it sounds best in your system, providing deep, tight and well defined bass. Certain subwoofer positions, however, may cause some bass frequency cancellation – when your front speakers and subwoofer are “out- of-phase”, they work against each other, resulting in weak and sometimes dislocated sounding bass. This can be correct

  • 49 7. SETUP MENU continued … Boundary Gain Compensation: If your chosen listening room layout (for practical or aesthetic reasons) results in the most of the listeners being close to the rear wall, the resulting bass level may be reinforced by the wall (boundary) so much that the overall sound quality becomes ‘boomy’. The AVM 20 contains a BGC (Boundary Gain Compensation)

  • 50 7.4.5 LISTENER POSITION The Listener Position Setup lets you enter the distance from each speaker to the listening area. Ideally, speakers should be placed at a similar distance so that their sound arrives at the listening area at the same time. Since this is not always possible, the AVM 20 can delay the sound of speakers that are closer so that sound from all speakers arrives at the l

  • Anthem AVM 20, 51 7. SETUP MENU continued … Example 1: Set Right Front speaker distance to 9.5 feet. • Enter the Setup (section 7.1). Go to ‘5.

SET AUDIO GROUP DELAY” and press SELECT. �

  • Anthem AVM 20, 52 Level Calibration: Balances the speaker levels to one another. Since this setup calibrates all speaker levels for your listening area, use the Remote Control and sit in the primary listening position when calibrating speaker levels. Any speaker set to ‘None’ in the Speaker Configuration menu will be skipped (see section 7.4.4). If you are using an SPL meter, the proper meter setting is ‘C-weighting’, but ‘flat’ can also be used. Do not use ‘A-’ or ‘B-weighting’. As well, set the meter to read ‘RMS’ or ‘Slow’ if available. Point the meter upwards, holding it at the

  • Anthem AVM 20, 53 Procedure for Setting Bass Peak Level: • Enter the Setup (section 7.1). Go to ‘6. SPEAKER LVL CALIBRATION’ and press SELECT. • Press the ' button until you reach “6k.

  • Anthem AVM 20, 55 7. SETUP MENU continued … Timer Options: There are two Timers for each Zone to allow greater flexibility. You can set individual week and weekend auto-on/off times twice – once for Timer1 and again for Timer2. This allows you to have, for example, separate morning and afternoon settings: With T1, MAIN comes on in the morning, and turns off when you leave. With T2, MAIN comes on again in the afternoon just before you get home, and turns off at the end of the day. Choices are as follows: • ‘Off’ – Timer is disabled and will not come on at any time or day. • ‘Week’ – Timer will

  • Anthem AVM 20, 56 7. SETUP MENU continued … Example 1: Select a Source for the ZONE2 Timer: • Enter the Setup (section 7.1). Go to ‘8.

  • Anthem AVM 20, 57 7. SETUP MENU continued … All Triggers: Allows you to ‘Enable’ or ‘Disable’ all trigger options regardless of their settings.

Set Trigger 1, 2, 3: Under each of the four AVM 20 Paths, MAIN (M), ZONE2 (Z2), ZONE3 (Z3), and RECORD (REC), you will notice that there are 40 available Sources (40 dashes) that could be used to activate that particular trigger. To set Trigger 1, 2, or 3 to activate accor

  • Anthem AVM 20, 58 7. SETUP MENU continued … In other situations, the IR signal may find its way to the internally mounted rear IR Receiver through the vents in the top cover. This could also cause confusion for the AVM 20. If the Rear IR Receivers are not used, simply disable them to solve any possible problems. Note: If the AVM 20 suddenly stops responding to Remote Control commands, it may be because the FRONT IR was accidentally disabled. If this has occurred, use the Front Panel buttons to enter the Setup – go to menu 9. TRIGGERS/IR/RS-232, then go to S
