SAFETY INFORMATION

Installation Location

Unpacking

Important Safety Information

■ To ensure proper operation and to

avoid the potential for safety hazards,

place the unit on a firm and level sur-

face. When placing the unit on a shelf,

be certain that the shelf and any

mounting hardware can support the

weight of the product.

The carton and shipping materials used

to protect your new receiver during ship-

ment were specially designed to cushion

it from shock and vibration. We suggest

that you save the carton and packing

materials for use in shipping if you move,

or should the unit ever need repair.

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your AVR580 has been designed for use

with 220–240-volt AC current. Connection

to a line voltage other than that for which

it is intended can create a safety and fire

hazard and may damage the unit.

■ Make certain that proper space is pro-

vided both above and below the unit

for ventilation. If this product will be

installed in a cabinet or other enclosed

area, make certain that there is suffi-

cient air movement within the cabinet.

Under some circumstances a fan may

be required.

Depending on the electrical requirements

in your area or the wiring in your home,

the power cords included with your AVR

may not be the correct ones, and you may

need to contact your local JBL distributor

to obtain the correct power cord.

To minimize the size of the carton in stor-

age, you may wish to flatten it. This is

done by carefully slitting the tape seams

on the bottom and collapsing the carton.

Other cardboard inserts may be stored in

the same manner. Packing materials that

cannot be collapsed should be saved

along with the carton in a plastic bag.

If you have any questions about the volt-

age requirements for your specific model,

or about the line voltage in your area, con-

tact your selling dealer before plugging the

unit into a wall outlet.

■ Do not place the unit directly on a

carpeted surface.

If you do not wish to save the packaging

materials, please note that the carton

and other sections of the shipping protec-

tion are recyclable. Please respect the

environment and discard those materials

at a local recycling center.

■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or

cold locations, or in an area that is

exposed to direct sunlight or heating

equipment.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the

power cord attached to your unit. We do

not recommend that extension cords be

used with this product. As with all elec-

trical devices, do not run power cords

under rugs or carpets or place heavy

objects on them. Damaged power cords

should be replaced immediately by an

authorized service center with a cord

meeting factory specifications.

■ Avoid moist or humid locations.

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots

on the top of the unit, or place

objects directly over them.

At this time you should remove the pro-

tective plastic film from the front-panel

lens. Leaving the film in place will affect

the performance of your remote control.

■ Due to the weight of the AVR580 and

the heat generated by the amplifiers,

there is the remote possibility that

the rubber padding on the bottom of

the unit’s feet may leave marks on

certain wood or veneer materials. Use

caution when placing the unit on soft

woods or other materials that may be

damaged by heat or heavy objects.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from

an AC outlet, always pull the plug; never

pull the cord. If you do not intend to use

the unit for any considerable length of

time, disconnect the plug from the AC

outlet.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a

clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe

it with a soft cloth dampened with mild

soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean

water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry

cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol

cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other

volatile cleaning agent. Do not use

abrasive cleaners, as they may damage

the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying

insecticide near the unit.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

There are no user-serviceable compo-

nents inside this product. Opening the

cabinet may present a shock hazard, and

any modification to the product will void

your guarantee. If water or any metal

object such as a paper clip, wire or a

staple accidentally falls inside the unit,

disconnect it from the AC power source

immediately, and consult an authorized

service center.

Moving the Unit

Before moving the unit, be certain to

disconnect any interconnection cords

with other components, and make certain

that you disconnect the unit from the

AC outlet.

¶ Fan Vents: These ventilation holes

are the output of the AVR580’s airflow

system. To ensure proper operation of the

unit and to avoid possible damage to del-

icate surfaces, make certain that these

holes are not blocked and that there is at

least three inches of open space between

the vent holes and any wooden or fabric

surface. It is normal for the fan to remain

off at most normal volume levels. An

automatic termperature sensor turns the

fan on only when it is needed.

Depending on the electrical requirements

in your area or the wiring in your home,

the power cords included with your AVR

may not be the correct ones, and you may

need to contact your local JBL distributor

to obtain the correct power cord.

most speakers still use a red terminal for

the positive (+) connection. Connect the

“negative” or “black” wire to the same

terminal on both the receiver and the

speaker.

System Installation

After unpacking the unit, locating it in a

place with adequate ventilation and plac-

ing it on a solid surface capable of support-

ing its weight, you will need to make the

connections to your audio and video

NOTE: While most speaker manufactur-

ers adhere to an industry convention of

using black terminals for negative and red

ones for positive, some may vary from

this configuration. To ensure proper phase

and optimal performance, consult the

identification plate on your speaker or the

speaker’s manual to verify polarity. If you

do not know the polarity of your speaker,

ask your dealer for advice before pro-

ceeding, or consult the speaker’s manu-

facturer.

6. Connect the supplied FM antenna to

equipment.

the FM (75-ohm) Connection ™. The

FM antenna may be an external roof

antenna, an inside powered or wire-

lead antenna or a connection from a

cable TV system. If the antenna or con-

nection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable,

you must use the 300-ohm-to-75-ohm

adapter supplied with the unit to make

the connection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For your personal

safety and to avoid possible damage to

your equipment and speakers, it is always

a good practice to turn off and unplug the

AVR and ALL source equipment from the

AC outlet before making any audio or video

system connections.

Audio Equipment Connections

We recommend that you use high-quality

interconnect cables when making connec-

tions to source equipment and recorders

to preserve the integrity of the signals.

7. Connect the Front, Center, Surround

and Surround Back Speaker

Outputs ∞§•ª to the respective

speakers.

We also recommend that the length of

cable used to connect speaker pairs be

identical. For example, use the same

length piece of cable to connect the

front-left and front-right or surround-left

and surround-right speakers, even if the

speakers are a different distance from

1. Connect the analog output of a CD

player to the CD Audio Inputs j.

To ensure that all the audio signals are

carried to your speakers without loss of

clarity or resolution, we suggest that you

use high-quality speaker cable. Many

brands of cable are available and the

choice of cable may be influenced by the

distance between your speakers and the

receiver, the type of speakers you use,

personal preferences and other factors.

Your dealer or installer is a valuable

resource to consult in selecting the

proper cable.

NOTE: When the CD player has both

fixed and variable audio outputs, it is best

to use the fixed output unless you find

that the input to the receiver is so low

that the sound is noisy, or so high that it

is distorted.

8. Connections to a subwoofer are nor-

mally made via a line-level audio con-

nection from the Subwoofer Output

¢ to the line-level input of a sub-

woofer with a built-in amplifier. When

a passive subwoofer is used, the con-

nection first goes to a power amplifier,

which will be connected to one or

more subwoofer speakers. If you are

using a powered subwoofer that does

not have line-level input connections,

follow the instructions furnished with

the speaker for connection information.

2. Connect the analog Play/Out jacks of a

cassette deck, MD, CD-R or other audio

recorder to the Tape Input Jacks

Connect the analog Record/In jacks on

the recorder to the Tape Output

Regardless of the brand of cable selected,

we recommend that you use a cable con-

structed of multistrand copper with a

gauge of 14 or smaller. Remember that in

specifying cable, the lower the number,

the thicker the cable.

Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for

short runs of less than 3 meters (10 feet).

We do not recommend that you use

cables with an AWG equivalent of 18 or

higher, due to the power loss and degra-

dation in performance that will occur.

Video Equipment Connections

Cables that are run inside walls should

have the appropriate markings to indicate

listing with UL, CSA or other appropriate

testing agency standards. Questions about

running cables inside walls should be

referred to your installer or a licensed

electrician who is familiar with the NEC

and/or the applicable local building codes

in your area.

Video equipment is connected in the same

manner as audio components. Again, the

use of high-quality interconnect cables is

recommended to preserve signal quality.

enable the remote room location to

control source equipment functions.

Video Connection Notes:

• When the component video jacks are

used, the on-screen menus are not visi-

ble and you must switch to the stan-

dard composite or S-Video input on

your TV to view them.

6. Connect the Video Monitor Output

¤ jacks on the receiver to the com-

posite or S-Video input of your televi-

sion monitor or video projector.

NOTE: All remotely controlled compo-

nents must be linked together in a “daisy

chain.” Connect the IR OUT jack of one

unit to the IR IN of the next to establish

this chain.

• The AVR580 will accept either stan-

dard composite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb

component video signals. However, it

will not convert composite or S signals

to component video.

between the output of the amplifiers and

the speakers.

The AVR580 is equipped with multizone

capabilities that allow it to send a sepa-

rate audio source to the remote zone

from the one selected for use in the

main room.

RS-232 Connections

The AVR580 includes an RS-232 serial

port connection that may be used to con-

trol the unit via compatible optional,

external keypads or control systems. The

physical connection to the AVR580 from

the control device is a standard D-9 con-

nection, but to ensure compatible and

proper operation, specific software com-

mands and pin wiring schemes are

required. Due to the complexity of RS-232

connections, we recommend that they be

made only by trained installers familiar

with their use. To obtain additional infor-

mation on the use of the AVR580 with

RS-232 control, please contact your local

JBL distributor.

Depending on your system’s require-

ment, three options are available for

audio connection:

Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded

audio interconnect cable from the

AVR580’s location to the remote room.

In the remote room, connect the intercon-

nect cable to a stereo power amplifier.

The amplifier will be connected to the

room’s speakers. At the AVR580, plug

the audio interconnect cables into the

Multiroom Audio Output h jacks on

the AVR580’s rear panel.

The AVR580 features a removable power

cord that allows wires to be run to a

complex installation so that the unit itself

need not be installed until it is ready for

connection. When all connections

described above have been made, con-

nect the AC power cord to the

Option 2: Connect the Multiroom

Audio Output h jacks on the AVR580

to the inputs of an optional stereo power

amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire

remote room.

AC Power Cord Jack ‚.

Option 3: Taking advantage of the

AVR580’s built-in seven-channel amplifier,

it is possible to use two of the amplifier

channels to power speakers in the remote

room. When using this option, you will

not be able to use the full 7.1-channel

capabilities of the AVR580 in the main

listening room, but you will be able to

add another listening room without addi-

tional external power amplifiers. To use

the internal amplifiers to power a remote

zone, connect the speakers for the

remote room location to the Surround

Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs ª.

Before using the remote room, you will

need to configure the amplifiers for sur-

round operation by changing a setting in

the Advanced Select menu, following the

instructions shown on page 37.

The AVR580 draws significantly more cur-

rent than other household devices, such

as computers, that use removable power

cords. For that reason, it is important that

only the cord supplied with the unit, or

obtained from your local JBL distributor

for use in your area (or a direct replace-

ment of identical capacity) be used.

Once the power cord is connected, you

are almost ready to enjoy the AVR580’s

incredible power and fidelity!

NOTE: For all options, you may connect

an optional IR sensor in the remote room

to the AVR580 via an appropriate cable.

Connect the sensor’s cable to the

Multiroom IR Input d on the AVR580

and use the Zone II remote to control the

room volume. Alternatively, you may

bottom of the cabinet is at least 60cm

(2 feet) higher than the listeners’ ears

when the listeners are seated in the

desired area.

When the AVR580 is used in 5.1-channel

operation, the preferred location for sur-

round speakers is on the side walls of the

room, at or slightly behind the listening

position. In a 7.1-channel system, both

side surround and back surround speakers

are required. The center of the speaker

should face into the room. The

5.1-channel systems as an alternative

mounting position when it is not practical

to place the main surround speakers on

the sides of the room. Speakers may be

placed on a rear wall, behind the listening

position. As with the side speakers, rear

surrounds should be located so that the

bottom of the cabinet is at least 60cm

(2 feet) higher than the listeners’ ears.

The speakers should be no more than

1.8 meters (6 feet) behind the rear of

the seating area.

The same model or brand of speaker

should be used for the left front, center

and right front speakers. This creates a

seamless front soundstage and elimi-

nates the possibility of distracting sonic

disturbances that occur when a sound

moves across mismatched front-channel

speakers.

note that if there are arrows on the

speakers they should face the front of the

room for the side speakers, or toward the

center of the wall for the rear speakers.

Subwoofers produce nondirectional

sound, so they may be placed almost

anywhere in a room. Actual placement

should be based on room size and shape

and the type of subwoofer used. One

method of finding the optimal location for

a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in

the front of the room, about 17cm (6")

from a wall, or near the front corner of

the room. Another method is to temporar-

ily place the subwoofer at your normal

listening position, and then walk around

the room until you find a spot where the

subwoofer sounds best. Place the sub-

woofer in that spot. You should also fol-

low the instructions of the subwoofer’s

manufacturer, or you may wish to experi-

ment with the best location for a sub-

woofer in your listening room.

Once the center channel speaker is

installed, position the front left and front

right speakers so that they are as far

away from one another as the center

channel speaker is from the preferred

listening position. Ideally, the front channel

speakers should be placed so that their

tweeters are no more than 60cm (24")

above or below the tweeter in the center

channel speaker.

Rear-Wall Mounting

B) Rear speaker mounting is an alternate

location for 5.1 systems. It is required for 7.1

operation.

Depending on the specifics of your room

acoustics and the type of speakers in

use, you may find that imaging is

improved by moving the left front and

right front speakers slightly forward of

the center channel speaker. If possible,

adjust all front loudspeakers so that they

are aimed at ear height when you are

seated in the listening position.

At least 17cm (6 inches) from ceiling

Once the speakers have been placed in

the room and connected, the remaining

steps in the setup process are to program

the AVR580’s bass management system

for the type of speakers used in your sys-

tem, calibrate the output levels, and set

the delay times used by the surround

sound processor.

Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it

takes some experimentation to find the

correct location for the front speakers in

your particular installation. Don’t be afraid

to move things around until the system

sounds correct. Optimize your speakers so

Delay times are only adjustable for the

In addition, when a non-Dolby Digital

mode such as Dolby 3 Stereo or Dolby

Pro Logic II is selected, adjustments may

be made to the Surround speakers only.

However, the individual crossover point

setting may only be set once, and the

selection made during the initial setup

will be used for all inputs, regardless of

any changes made to the “Large” or

“Small” settings for the speaker groups

attached to any input. The reason for this

is that while you may prefer different set-

tings for the bass redirection (that is,

which signals go to the subwoofer or the

speaker group), the actual crossover point

remains the same since the actual loud-

speakers themselves remain the same

regardless of any other setting.

front channel sound information below

the setting shown will be sent to BOTH

LARGE-LFE+L/Rsetting has

defaults to 100Hz for both the front

Selection of a surround mode is based on

personal taste, as well as the type of

modes depending on the source material.

Digital Audio Playback

Digital audio is a major advancement over

older analog surround processing systems

such as Dolby Pro Logic. It delivers five dis-

crete channels: left front, center, right

front, left surround and right surround.

Each channel reproduces full frequency

range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers dramati-

cally improved dynamic range and signifi-

cant improvements to signal-to-noise

ratios. In addition, digital systems have the

capability to deliver an additional channel

that is specifically devoted to low-frequency

information. This is the “.1” channel

referred to when you see these systems

described as “5.1,” “6.1” or “7.1”. The bass

channel is separate from the other chan-

nels, but since it is intentionally band-

width-limited, sound designers have given

it that unique designation.

As the surround modes change, the

current mode will light in orange in the

Surround Mode Indicators ˘list on

The Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX and

DTS 5.1, DTS-ES Matrix and DTS-ES

modes such as Dolby Pro Logic II-Movie,

Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema,

when they are broadcast via conventional

TV stations, cable, pay-TV and satellite

transmission. In addition, a growing num-

ber of made-for-television programs,

sports broadcasts, radio dramas and music

CDs are also recorded in surround sound.

When the 6-channel/8-channel direct

inputs are in use there is no surround

processing, as these inputs take the ana-

log output signals from an optional,

external DVD-Audio or SACD player, or

another source device and carry them

straight through to the volume control

without any further digital processing.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a standard part of DVD,

and is available on specially encoded LD

discs and satellite broadcasts and it is

a part of the high-definition television

(HDTV) system.

or front panel &*.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with

DTS soundtracks, the DVD player must be

compatible with the DTS signal as indi-

cated by a DTS logo on the player’s front

panel. Early DVD players may not be able

to play DTS-encoded DVDs. This does not

indicate a problem with the AVR580, as

some players cannot pass the DTS signal

through to the digital outputs. If you are

in doubt as to the capability of your DVD

player to handle DTS discs, consult the

player’s owner’s manual.

Speaker/Channel Indicators

In addition to the bitstream indicators,

the AVR580 features a set of unique

channel-input indicators that tell you how

many channels of digital information are

being received and/or whether the digital

signal is interrupted. (See Figure 9.)

NOTE: Some DVD players have a default

setting that does not pass through the

DTS signal. Before playing DVDs with a

DTS soundtrack, make certain that the

settings in your DVD player have been

properly adjusted so that DTS audio is

passed through. Consult the owner’s

manual for your DVD player for more

information on making these settings.

To help you see which type of digital

source is playing, the Surround Mode

Indicators ˘in combination with the

Information Display ˜also serve as

bitstream indications to show which type

of bitstream is present, as well as the

surround mode in use, if applicable.

MP3 Audio Playback

The AVR580 is one of the few receivers

equipped for onboard decoding for the

MP3 audio format used by computers and

portable audio devices. By offering MP3

decoding, the AVR580 is able to deliver

precise conversion of the digital signals

to an analog output, along with the bene-

fits of listening to the MP3 audio through

the AVR580’s high-current amplifier and

the speakers from your surround system,

rather than the smaller speakers and low-

powered amplifiers typically used with

computers.

• Although the AVR580 will decode virtu-

ally all current DVD movies, CDs and

HDTV sources, it is possible that some

future digital sources may not be com-

patible with the AVR580.

The letters used by the Speaker/

Channel Input Indicators Ealso flash

to indicate when a bitstream has been

interrupted. This will happen when a digi-

tal input source is selected before the

playback starts, or when a digital source

such as a DVD is paused. The flashing

indicators remind you that the playback

has stopped due to the absence of a digi-

tal signal and not through any fault of the

AVR580. This is normal, and the digital

playback will resume once the playback

is started again.

• Not all digitally encoded programs

contain full 5.1- or 6.1-channel audio.

Consult the program guide that accom-

panies the DVD or laser disc to deter-

mine which type of audio has been

recorded on the disc. The AVR580 will

automatically sense the type of digital

surround encoding used and adjust to

accommodate it.

To take advantage of the AVR580’s MP3

capabilities, simply connect the PCM out-

put of a computer’s sound card or the

PCM output of a portable digital audio

device to either the rear-panel Digital

MODE

FEATURES

Dolby Digital

Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and

a special dedicated Low-Frequency Effects channel.

Dolby Digital EX

DTS 5.1

Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the latest version of Dolby Digital.

When used with movies or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded sound

tracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 sound field is available. When the receiver is set for 6.1/7.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is

present, the EX mode is automatically selected. Even if specific EX encoding is not available to provide the additional channel,

the special algorithms will derive a 6.1/7.1 output.

When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD, audio-only music or

laser discs encoded with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated

low-frequency channel.

DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix

DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete

When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will automatically trigger

the selection of one of the two DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with special DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide

six discrete, full-bandwidth channels plus a separate low-frequency channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the

DTS-ES Matrix mode, which creates a 6.1-channel sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Movie

Music

Dolby Pro Logic II is the latest version of Dolby Laboratory’s benchmark surround technology that decodes full-range, discrete left,

center right, right surround and left surround channels from either matrix surround-encoded programs and conventional stereo

sources when an analog input is in use. The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, while the Dolby

Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with musical selections. The Dolby Pro Logic II Emulation mode re-creates original Dolby

Pro Logic processing for those who prefer that presentation.

Emulation

Logic 7 Cinema

Logic 7 Music

Logic 7 Enhance

Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or

conventional stereo material. Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the SURROUND

SELECTmenu, the “5.1” versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen, while the “7.1” versions of

Logic 7 produce a full sound field presentation, including back surround speakers when the “6.1/7.1” option is chosen.

The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding.

Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans that are

much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques. The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be used with

analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater

rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver

maximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode, available only when the 5.1 option is chosen, is an extension of the

Logic 7 mode that is primarily used with musical programs. Logic 7 adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low fre

quencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears

broader and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.

DTS Neo:6 Cinema

DTS Neo:6 Music

These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a six-channel surround presentation

from conventional matrix-encoded and traditional stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a

program with any type of analog matrix surround encoding is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6 for

optimal processing when a nonencoded, two-channel stereo program is being played.

Dolby 3 Stereo

Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to create center-channel information. In

addition, the information that is normally sent to the rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front-left and

front-right channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center channel speaker but no surround speakers.

Theater

The Theater mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a standard live-performance theater.

The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small (Hall 1) and medium-sized (Hall 2) concert hall.

Hall 1, Hall 2

VMAx Near

VMAx Far

When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, JBL’s patented VMAx mode delivers a three-dimensional sound space

with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the center and surround positions. The VMAx N, or “Near Field,” mode should be

selected when your listening position is less than five feet from the speakers. The VMAx F, or “Far Field,” mode should be

selected when your listening position is greater than five feet from the speakers. The VMAx modes are also available using the

Headphones Output 4. When head phones are being used, the Far Field mode will appear to push the sound field away from

your ears, reducing the “inside the head” sensation often experienced when using headphones.

5-Channel Stereo

7-Channel Stereo

This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room.

Depending on whether the AVR has been configured for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation, one of these modes, but not both,

is available at any time. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party, it places the same signal at the front-left and

surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase

material of the left and right channels.

Surround

Off (Stereo)

This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-channel presentation of two-channel stereo

programs.

Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment

The FULLOSDmenu system is used

to simplify the setup and adjustment of

the AVR580, using a series of on-screen

menus. The factory default setting for

these menus leaves them on the screen

for 20 seconds after a period of inactivity

before they disappear from the screen

(Time-Out). Time-Out is a safety measure

to prevent image retention of the menu

MULTIROOM OPERATION

The AVR580 is fully equipped to operate

as the control center for a complete mul-

tiroom system that is capable of sending

one source to a second zone in the house

while a separate source is listened to in

the main room. In addition to providing

for control over the selection of the

remote source and its volume, the

AVR580 offers a comprehensive range of

options for powering the speakers in the

second zone.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

The AVR580 is equipped with a powerful

remote control that will control not only

the receiver’s functions, but also most

popular brands of audio and video equip-

ment, including CD players, cassette

decks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satel-

lite receivers and other home theater

equipment. Once the AVR580’s remote is

programmed with the codes for the pro-

ducts you own, it is possible to eliminate

most other remotes and replace them

with the convenience of a single, universal

remote control.

three-digit codes until the equipment

turns off. At this point, the correct

code has been entered. Press the

Input Selector eagain and note

that the red light under the Input

Selector ewill flash three times

before going dark to confirm the entry.

5. Try all of the functions on the remote

to make certain that the product oper-

ates. Keep in mind that many manu-

facturers use a number of different

combinations of codes, and it is a

good idea to make certain that not

only the power control works, but also

the volume, channel and transport

controls, as appropriate. If all func-

tions do not work properly, you may

need to Auto-Search for a different

code, or enter a code via the Direct

Code Entry method.

6. Try all of the functions on the remote

to make certain that the product oper-

ates properly. Keep in mind that many

manufacturers use a number of differ-

ent combinations of codes, so it is a

good idea to make certain that not

only the power control, but the vol-

ume, channel and transport controls

work as they should. If functions do

not work properly, you may need to

use a different remote code.

Code Readout

Programming the Product

Codes

When the code has been entered using

the Auto Search method, it is always a

good idea to find out the exact code so

that it may be easily reentered if neces-

sary. You may also read the codes to

verify which device has been programmed

to a specific Control Selector button.

The AVR580 remote is factory-pro-

grammed for all AVR functions, as well as

those of JBL DVD players. In addition, by

following one of the methods below, you

may program the remote to operate a

wide range of devices from other manu-

facturers.

not seem to operate properly, you may

wish to program the correct code using

the Auto Search method that follows:

1. Use the tables in the following pages

to determine the three-digit code or

Learning Codes

In addition to using codes from the

remote’s internal code library, the

AVR580’s remote is able to “learn”codes

from remotes that may not be in the code

library. Also, you may use this function

to “learn over” the codes from a prepro-

grammed device to add functions not

included in the preprogrammed codes.

To learn or transfer codes from an IR

remote to the AVR580’s remote, follow

these steps:

Erasing Learned Codes

The AVR580’s remote allows you to

remove or erase the code learned into

a single button for a single device, to

remove or erase the code set for all the

codes that have been programmed into

specific device buttons, or to erase all

commands that have been learned to all

devices.

To erase all codes that have been pro-

grammed to all devices in the remote,

follow these steps:

When operating a device other than the

AVR580, the controls may not correspond

exactly to the function printed on the

remote or button. Some commands, such

as the volume control, are the same as

they are with the AVR580. Other buttons

will change their function so that they

correspond to a secondary label on the

remote. For example, the Sleep and

Surround mode selector buttons also func-

tion as the Channel Up and Channel Down

buttons when operating most TV sets,

VCRs or cable boxes. The Channel Up/

Down indication is printed directly on the

remote. For many standard CD players,

cassette decks, VCRs and DVD functions,

the standard function icons are printed on

top of the buttons.

Example: To program the Macro 1

button so that it turns on the AVR580,

TV and a cable box, follow these steps:

• Press the Macro 1 Button

and

Mute Button at the same time

and then release them.

• Note that the Program/SPL

The AVR580’s remote may be programmed

to operate so that the Transport Control

Functions `(Play, Stop, Fast Forward,

Rewind, Pause and Record) for a VCR,

DVD or CD will operate in conjunction

with one of the other devices controlled by

the remote. For example, while using and

controlling the TV, you may wish to start or

stop your VCR or DVD without having to

change the device selected by the AVR580

or the remote. To program the remote for

Transport Control Punch-Through, follow

these steps:

• When a button is pressed on the

AVR580 remote, the red light under

the Input Selector effor the

product being operated should flash

briefly. If the Device Control Selector

flashes for some but not all buttons

for a particular product, it does NOT

indicate a problem with the remote

but rather that no function is pro-

grammed for the button being pushed.

Channel Control Punch-

Through

The AVR580’s remote may be programmed

to operate so that the channel control

function for either the TV, cable or satellite

receiver used in your system may be used

in conjunction with one of the other

devices controlled by the remote. For

example, while using and controlling the

VCR, you may wish to change channels on

a cable box or satellite receiver without

Volume, Channel or Transport Punch-

Through, make certain that any pro-

gramming needed for the specific TV,

CD, DVD, cable or satellite receivers has

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home

theater system, occasionally you may wish

to totally reprogram the remote control

without the confusion of any commands,

macros or ”Punch-Through“ programming

that you may have done. To do this, it is

possible to reset the remote to the original

factory defaults and command codes by

following these steps. However, once the

remote is reset, all commands or codes

that you have entered will be erased and

will need to be reentered:

Reassigning Device Control

Selectors

Although each Input Selector eis nor-

mally assigned to the category of product

shown on the remote, it is possible to

reassign one of these buttons to operate a

second device of another type. For exam-

ple, if you have two VCRs but no satellite

receiver, you may program the “SAT” but-

ton to operate a second VCR. Before fol-

lowing the normal programming steps for

either Three-Digit entry or Auto Search

code entry, you must first reassign the but-

ton with the following steps:

1. Press any of the Input Selector

Buttons eand the ”O“ Button r

at the same time until the Program/

SPL Indicator cbegins to flash

amber.

2. Press the ”3“ Button rthree times.

3. The red LED under the Input Selector

ewill go out and the Program/SPL

Indicator cwill stop flashing and

turn green.

1. Press the Input Selector eyou wish

to reassign and the Mute Button

at the same time until the red light

appears under the Input Selector e

and the Program/SPL Indicator c

flashes amber.

4. The Program/SPL Indicator c

will remain green until the remote is

reset. Note that this may take a while,

depending on how many commands are

in the memory that need to be erased.

2. Press the Input Selector efor the

device you wish to program into the

reassigned button.

5. When the Program/SPL Indicator

cgoes out, the remote has been

reset to the factory settings.

3. Enter the three-digit code for the spe-

cific model you wish the reassigned

button to operate.

4. Press the same Input Selector e

pressed in Step 1 once again to store

the selection. The red LED under the

reassigned Input Selector will flash

three times and then go out.

Example: To use the CBL/SAT button

to operate a second VCR, first press

the Video 2/CBL/SAT Input Selector

eand the Mute Button

at the

same time until the red light glows

under the Video 2/CBL/SAT Button

e. Press the VCR Button e, fol-

lowed by the three-digit code for the

specific model you wish to control.

modes and digital input assignments, as

well as the tuner presets. After a reset,

the unit will be returned to the factory

presets, and all settings for these items

must be reentered.

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the unit’s operation

or the displays seem abnormal, the cause

may involve the erratic operation of the

system’s memory or microprocessor.

To correct this problem, first unplug the

unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at

least three minutes. After the pause,

reconnect the AC power cord and check

the unit’s operation. If the system still

malfunctions, a system reset may clear

the problem.

If the system is still operating incorrectly,

there may have been an electronic dis-

charge or severe AC line interference

that has corrupted the memory or

microprocessor.

The unit will turn on automatically and

display the RESETmessage in the

Main Information Display ˜.

If these steps do not solve the problem,

consult an authorized JBL service center.

NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase

any configuration settings you have made
