mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connect- ed to the Digital Audio Outputs gi, you are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital recording system.

NOTES:

•The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal is present, and they do not convert an analog input to a digital signal, or change the format of the digital signal. In addition, the digital recorder must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

•Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright restrictions on any material you copy. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is prohibited by law.

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the AVR580 is established using the test tone, as outlined on pages 27 – 29. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to adjust the output levels using program material such as a test disc, or a selection you are familiar with. Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer can only be adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program material, first set the reference volume for the front left and front right channels using the Volume Control ı 40 î.

If you are using a disc with test signals or an external signal generator as the source from which to trim the output lev- els, you may use the EzSet feature of the remote to guide you to the correct SPL level. To use the remote for this purpose, press and quickly release the SPL

Selector Button 41 to activate the

sensor. While the test tone is circulating, the Program/SPL Indicator c will change color to indicate the level. Adjust the level using the ⁄/¤ Buttons n until the LED lights green for all channels. When it is red the level is too high; when

36

it is amber the level is too low. Press the SPL Selector Button 41 to turn the sensor and indicator off.

Once the reference level has been set, press the Channel Select Button m and FRONT L LEVEL will appear in the Lower Display Line B. To change the level, first press the Set Button p, and then use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to raise or lower the level. DO NOT use the volume control, as this will alter the reference setting.

Once the change has been made, press the Set Button p and then press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select the next output channel location that you wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n until WOOFER LEVEL appears in the Main Information Display ˜ or on- screen display.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjustments have been made and no further adjustments are made for five seconds, the AVR580 will return to normal operation.

The channel output for any input may also be adjusted using the full-OSD on-screen menu system. First, set the volume to a comfortable listening level using the Volume Control ı 40 î. Then, press the OSD Button v to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1). Press the ¤ Button n until the on-screen › cursor is next to the CHANNEL ADJUST line. Press the Set Button p to activate the CHANNEL ADJUST menu.

Once the menu appears on your video screen, first use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to move the on-screen › cursor so that it is next to the TEST TONE line. Press the ‹/› Buttons o 37 so that OFF is highlighted. This will turn off the test tone and allow you to use your external test disc or other source material as the reference. Then, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons

nto select the channels to be adjusted. At each channel position, use the ‹/› Buttons o 37 to change the output level. Remember, the goal is to have the output level at each channel be equal when heard at the listening position.

If you wish to reset all the levels to their original factory default of 0dB offset,

press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n so that the on-screen cursor is next to the CHANNEL RESET line and press the ‹/› Buttons o 37 so that the word ON is highlighted. After the levels are reset, resume the procedure outlined above to reset the levels to the desired settings. When all adjustments are done, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to move the on-screen › cursor so that it is next to BACK TO MASTER MENU and then press the Set Button p if you wish to go back to the main menu to make other adjustments. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button v to exit the menu system.

NOTE: The output levels may be separately trimmed for each digital and analog sur- round mode. If you wish to have different trim levels for a specific mode, select that mode and then follow the instructions in the steps shown earlier.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves the system configuration information and tuner pre- sets if the unit is accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power outage. This memory will last for approximately two weeks, after which time all information must be reentered.
