NOTES:
• The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback
of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-2803’s S-Video and
video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-2803 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected
to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-
Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a
cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 17.)
• The AVR-2803’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may
be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions.
• The setup menu is not displayed when headphones are being used.
• Speaker system layout
Basic system layout
• The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of eight speaker systems and a
television monitor:
Subwoofer Center speaker system
Surround speaker systems
Surround back speaker systems
Front speaker systems
Set these at the sides of the TV or
screen with their front surfaces as flush
with the front of the screen as possible.

SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
• Once all connections with other AV components have been completed as described in “CONNECTIONS”
(see pages 4 to 8), make the various settings described below on the monitor screen using the AVR-2803’s
on-screen display function.
These settings are required to set up the listening room’s AV system centered around the AVR-2803.
• Check that the remote control unit is set to AMP mode (TAPE, CDR/MD or CD).
• The system settings can be reset to the default (factory shipment) settings by initialization of the
microprocessor (see page 37).
• Use the following buttons to set up the system:
• System setup items and default values (set upon shipment from the factory)

Assignment
Input the combination of speakers in your
system and their corresponding sizes (Small for
regular speakers, Large for full-size, full-range) to
automatically set the composition of the signals
output from the speakers and the frequency
response.
This selects the subwoofer speaker for playing
deep bass signals.
Turn the audio compression on or off when down-
mixing Dolby Digital signals.
This adjusts the volume of the signals output from
the speakers and subwoofer for the different
channels in order to obtain optimum effects.
This assigns the digital input jacks for the
different input sources.
