System Configuration

Continue to adjust the individual speakers until they all have the same volume. Note that adjust- ments should be made with the /buttons

Eon the remote only, NOT the main vol- ume controls.

You may also adjust the output levels manually while using the level indication feature of the EzSet remote. To activate the sensor and indica- tor, simply press and release the SPL Indicator

Select button on the remote while the test tone is circulating. The Program/SPL Indicator

2will change color to indicate the level.

Because the remote functions as level sensor, in that case all further adjustments can be made with the front panel buttons only, with help of an assisting person. Adjust the level using the /buttons 5on the front panel until the LED lights green for all channels. When it is red the level is too high; when it is amber the level is too low. Press the SPL Indicator Select button when you are finished to turn the sensor and Indicator off.

NOTE: The subwoofer output level is not adjustable using the test tone. To change the subwoofer level, follow the steps for Output Level Trim Adjustment on page 30.

When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. Now turn the Volume ( down to about -40dB, other- wise the listening level may be too high as soon as the source’s music starts to play. To exit this menu, press the /¤ buttons Duntil the on- screen cursor is next to the RETURN T O MENU line, and then press the Set button

Fto turn the test tone off and return to the

MASTER MENU.

The output levels may also be adjusted at any time using the discrete buttons and semi-OSD system. To adjust the output levels in this fash- ion, press the Test Tone Selector ı8. As soon as the button is pressed, the test tone will begin to circulate as indicated earlier. The correct channel from which the test noise should be heard will be shown in the lower third of the video screen and in the Main Information Display Y. As an added assist, while the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/Channel Indicators Qby a blinking letter within the correct channel. Turn up the Volume (

until you can hear the noise clearly.

To adjust the output level, press the Selector buttons on the front panel 5or the /but- tons E until the desired level is shown in the display or on screen. Once the buttons are released, the test noise will begin to circulate again in five seconds.

When all channels have the same output level, turn the Volume ( down to about -40dB, otherwise the listening level may be too high as soon as the source’s music starts to play. After- wards press the Test Tone Selector ı8 button again to turn the test tone off and com- plete the process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Output level adjust- ment made will be effective for all inputs, but only for the actual surround mode selected. To be effective for any other mode select that mode (with any input) and repeat the level adjustment described above. This will also allow you to com- pensate level differences between speakers, that may be different with each surround mode, or to increase or decrease the level of certain speakers intentionally, depending on the surround mode selected.

Note: Output level adjustment is not available for the VMAx or Surround Off mode, as no sur- round speakers are used (so level differences between the speakers in the room cannot occur). But to compensate level differences between stereo, VMAx and other surround modes (independently from the input selected) the outputs can be adjusted with the Level Trim Adjustment procedure, see page 30, also for the Surround Off (Stereo) and VMAx modes.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR 3000 is ready for operation. While there are some additional settings to be made, these are best done after you have had an opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and different kinds of program material. These advanced settings are described on pages 34-35 of this manual. In addition, any of the settings made in the initial configuration of the unit may be changed at any time.

As you add new or different sources or speakers, or if you wish to change a setting to better reflect your listening taste, simply follow the instructions for changing the settings for that parameter as shown above. Note that any settings changed at any time, also when the discrete buttons are used only, will be stored in memory in the AVR3000, also if it´s turned off completely, unless it will be reset (see page 48). The settings will either depend on the input (Speaker configuration, analog/digital input selection, surround mode) or on the surround mode selected (speaker output level), as described on previous pages.

Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR 3000, you are about to experience the finest in music and home theater listening. Enjoy!
