INSTALLATION GUIDE

AVA-Series Amplifiers

OVERVIEW

Russound’s AVA-Series’s are a game changer in the audio industry. Their built

-in HDMI ARC input with CEC control means that these compact, powerful,

low-profile AVA-Series can be used seamlessly with any modern television

without the need for any remote control other than your native TV or cable-

box/satellite remote that is already being used. If desired, their multiple

inputs can be used to convert the AVA-Series into a mini-receiver supporting

up to 4 total inputs (HDMI, Digital Optical, Line-Level Stereo, Bluetooth) and

they include an external IR sensor and full-featured remote control.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

The compact, low-profile design of the AVA-Series Amplifierss allows them

to be installed out of view, minimizing any intrusion into the customers’ living

space. There are several options available to choose from to meet any need.

Please keep in mind that the AVA-Series Amplifierss support Bluetooth Audio so

that any audio content from a phone, tablet, or computer can be easily

played. If planning on using the Bluetooth audio input, make sure to verify the

Bluetooth functional range before finalizing a mounting location. Depending

on the construction of the TV, wall-box, building materials, etc, the range of

the internal Bluetooth receiver may be impacted.

USING THE MINIAVR

HDMI  CONNECTING A TV OR OTHER HDMI AUDIO SOURCE

Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI Port on the TV labeled HDMI (ARC or

eARC) and to the rear HDMI port of your AVA-Series Amplifiers labeled “ARC”. It

is very important that you connect to the ARC or eARC HDMI connection

on the TV. This enables the audio output of the TV through the HDMI

connection and enables CEC control between the TV and the AVA-Series

Amplifiers so that the TV remote control can control the mini-AVR without the

need for any programming.

TV SETTINGS

Most televisions will require changing a settings menu to disable their

internal speakers and enable the audio output through the HDMI ARC port

of the television. Some may even require adjustments to the HDMI control to

enable CEC operation. Please refer to the television owner’s manual for those

settings. For any HDMI ARC enabled product like the advanced AVA-Series

Amplifiers, you’ll need to make sure that these settings are configured on the

connected television:

AUDIO OUTPUT

Make sure the TV’s Audio Output is configured for the HDMI ARC or eARC

port that is connected to the amplifier

TV SPEAKERS DISABLED

Do not use an “Automatic” setting if you want to use audio sources other than

ARC when connected to your TV or your TVs internal speakers may turn on

when not desired.

CEC CONTROL ENABLED

Most TVs will have CEC control enabled by default. Using CEC

is recommended in order to allow your TV remote to control the

AVA-Series amplifier.

AUX

Connect any audio source to the stereo RCA AUX input on the

rear of your AVA-Series Amplifiers. The connected source may

be selected by using the included remote control and pressing

the input selection button on the top right of the remote control

until you hear the desired source.

USING THE MINIAVR

DIGITAL OPTICAL IN

Connect any digital audio source to the digital optical input on the rear of your

AVA-Series Amplifiers. The connected source may be selected by using the

included remote control and pressing the input selection button on the top

right of the remote control until you hear the desired source.

USING BLUETOOTH

Before using Bluetooth, your phone, tablet, or computer must be paired with

your AVA-Series Amplifiers.Pairing may be done by selecting the Pair button

on the remote control until the front panel LED on your AVA-Series Amplifiers

begins blinking blue. While blinking, the amplifier is in pairing mode and

can be found by searching for AVA3.1 or AVA2.1 from your phone, tablet, or

computer.

Once connected, you can use your phone’s volume control to go from zero up

to the current maximum volume of the AVA-Series Amplifiers. We recommend

setting your phone to its highest volume and then adjusting the AVA-Series

Amplifiers to the maximum desired level so that you can then easily control

the volume using your phone’s volume control.

Once your phone has been paired, you can connect and send audio to your

AVA-Series Amplifiers at any time by selecting “Bluetooth” as the active

source using the AVA remote control.

POWER CONNECTION

Once the source and loudspeaker connections have been made you can

connect the power cable to the rear of mini-AVR.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

To use the included remote control, make sure to connect the included IR

sensor to the “IR In” connection on the rear of the AVA-Series Amplifiers. All

infrared commands are received through this sensor.

TV CONTROL BUTTONS

If using the HDMI ARC input, there should be no need to use the TV infrared

commands from the remote control, but they are available for use when

connecting a TV to the amplifier’s digital or Line In input connection.

The included remote control is a multi-function

learning remote control. The top section of the

remote control is designed to learn several of the

most important TV commands from your TV remote.

To do this, press and hold the “Set” button in the top right of the remote

control for 10 seconds or until the light turns a solid bright red.

With the red light illuminated, press the button on the top of the remote that

you would like to teach, for example the TV Input “TV In” button. The red Set

button LED will blink fast, indicating it is ready to learn the IR command.

Place your TV remote end to end with the Russound AVA remote control so

that the front of both remote controls are within 1” (2.54 cm) of each other.

Press the button that you want to teach, in our example, the TV Input button

on your TV remote control until the red SET LED becomes solid again.

You may continue to teach other commands in any order by pressing the

next button you wish to teach on the top section of the AVA remote control

until the red Set button LED blinks fast, indicating it is ready to learn the IR

command for that button and continuing the process, button by button.

When you have taught all commands, press the Set button one more time

until the LED turns o.

Verify the correct programming by testing all of the learned buttons with

your TV. You can repeat the above steps to re-learn any particular button as

needed.

CREATING A . OR . AUDIO SYSTEM

By combining a Russound AVA3.1 with an AVA2.1 or any stereo amplifier, it is

possible to create a quick 5.1 surround (all stereo mode) system for any room.

Use a stereo 3.5mm to RCA cable (not included) to connect from the Line Out

of the AVA3.1 to the audio input of the AVA2.1 or other amplifier. When using

a Russound AVA2.1 as the additional amplifier, a second subwoofer can be

connected to the AVA2.1 subwoofer out to create up to a 5.2 stereo system.

Select Aux as the audio input on the AVA2.1. The AVA2.1 will play the audio

sent from the AVA3.1 to create the 5.1 or 5.2 system.

approximately 1% for every button press, up to 10. When the limit is reached

in either direction, the front panel LED will blink quickly

TREBLE +/ 

This is a broad treble change across the range of 1kHz to 20kHz, by

approximately 1% for every button press, up to 10. When the limit is reached

in either direction, the front panel LED will blink quickly

RESET BUTTON

This button will reset all audio settings back to factory defaults.

VOICE DIALOG

This button will enable a high pass filter at 100Hz and a low pass filter at

12KHz to allow for more dialog detail and clarity. In this mode, you may also

customize the bass and treble or enable Mega Bass as desired.

USING THE MINIAVR

MOVIE

This button will enable a high pass filter at 35Hz, and a Box EQ at 240Hz

(-4dB) and 860Hz (-3dB) to allow for dynamic response in movies and films.

In this mode, you may also customize the bass and treble or enable Mega

Bass as desired. Movie mode is the default acoustic mode of the AVA-Series

amplifier.

MUSIC

This button will remove audio filters so that the EQ is flat from 20Hz to 20kHz

for clear, uncluttered detail in all musical genres. In this mode, you may also

customize the bass and treble or enable Mega Bass as desired.

Note: All changes to the audio settings will reset to defaults if the AVA is
