Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the AVR45 is established using the Test Tone, as outlined on page 19. 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 may only be adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using pro- gram material, first set the reference volume for the front left/right channels using the Volume Control ôz. If you wish to vary the difference between the left and right channels, use the Balance Control 7.

Once the reference level has been set, press the Channel Select button h

øand note that FRONT L LEV

will appear in the Main Information Display S. To change the level, first press the Set button ÷, and then use the Selector buttons üor the Ú/ Û buttons gto 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 ÷and then press the Selector buttons üor the Ú/ Û buttons gto select the next output channel location that you wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press the

Selector buttons üor the Ú/ Û buttons guntil S-WOOFER LEV appears in the Main Information Display S.

Press the Set button ÷when the name of the desired channel appears in the Main Information Display S, and follow the instructions shown above to adjust the level.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjustments have been made, the AVR45 will return to nor- mal operation when no adjustments are made for five seconds.

Six-Channel Direct Input

The AVR45 is equipped for future expansion through the use of optional, external adapters for formats that the AVR45 may not be capable of processing. When an adapter is connected to the

6-Channel Direct Inputs °, you may select it by pressing the 6 CH Input Selector k#.

Note that when the 6-Channel Direct input is in use, you may not select a sur- round mode, as the external decoder determines processing. In addition, there is no signal at the record outputs when the 6-Channel Direct input is in use.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves tuner pre- sets and system configuration informa- tion if the unit is accidentally unplugged

or subject to a power outage. This mem- ory will last for approximately two weeks, after which time all information must be reentered.

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the unit’s opera- tion 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.

To clear the AVR45’s entire system memory, including tuner presets, output level settings, deley times and speaker configuration data, first turn the unit off by pressing and releasing the Master Power Switch 1so that it pops out from its normal recessed position. Next, press and hold the AM/FM $and the Dolby Pro Logic îbuttons while pushing the Master Power Switch

1in to turn the unit back on. Note that once you have cleared the memory in this manner, it is necessary to re- establish all system configuration settings and tuner presets.

If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor.

If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized Harman Kardon service depot.
