Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the

AVR 3000 is established using the test tone, as outlined on pages 22 and 23. 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 and those for the Stereo and VMAx modes can only be adjust- ed using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program materi- al, first select the surround mode for which you want to trim the speakers (see NOTE below), start your program material source and set the refer- ence volume for the front left and front right channels using the Volume Control ( .

Once the reference level has been set, press the Channel Select button CÛand note that FRONT L LEV will appear in the Main Information Display Y. To change the level, first press the Set button FÓ, and then use the Selector buttons 5or the / ¤ buttons

Dto 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 FÓand then press the Selector but- tons 5or the /¤ buttons Dto select the next output channel location that you wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press the Selector buttons 5or the /¤ buttons D until WOOFER LEV appears in the Main Information Display Yor on-screen display. (only available if the subwoofer is turned on).

Press the Set button FÓwhen the name of the desired channel appears in the Main Information Display Yand on-screen display, and follow the instructions shown above to adjust the level.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan- nels requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjustments have been made press the Set button FÓtwice, the AVR 3000 will return to normal operation.

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

Select to activate the sensor. When the test tone from the source is fed to the speaker you want to trim, the Program Indicator 2will change color to indicate the level. Adjust the level for the appropriate channel 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. As the remote is used as sound pressure level (SPL) sensor, in this case the channels can be selected and their levels be adjusted, as described above, with the Channel Select but- ton Ûand the Selector 5and Set buttons

Óon the AVR´s front panel only (with help of an assisting person). After the output levels of all channels are aligned,press the SPL Indicator

Select to turn the sensor and indicator off.

The channel output 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 ( . Then, press the OSD button Lto bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1). Press the ¤ Button D until the on-screen cursor is next to the CHANNEL ADJUST line. Press the Set Button Fto activate the CHANNEL ADJUST menu (Figure 8).

Once the menu appears on your video screen, use the /¤ buttons Dto move the on-screen

cursor so that it is next to the channel that you wish to adjust. Then, use the /buttons

E to raise or lower the output level.

When all adjustments are done, press the /¤ buttons Dto move the on-screen cursor so that it is next to RETURN TO MENU and then press the Set Button Fif you wish to go back to the main menu to make other adjust- ments. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD button Lto exit the menu system.

NOTE: The output levels may be separately trimmed for each digital and analog surround 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 above.

Changing the levels by the trim adjustment as described above will automatically change the level settings in the Output Adjust Menu (Fig. 7, page 23) correspondingly (and vice versa). With Stereo and Vmax modes the adjustment proce- dure described above is the only way to trim the output level (e.g. to match the Vmax level with other modes).

6-Channel Direct Input

The AVR 3000 is equipped for future expansion through the use of optional, external adapters for formats that the AVR 3000 may not be capable of processing. When an adapter is connected to the 6-Channel Direct Input , you may select it by pressing the 6-Ch Direct Input Selector

. The 6-Channel Direct Input may also be selected by pressing the Input Source Selector button !on the front panel until the words

6CH DIRECT appear in the Main Information Display Y, and a green LED lights next to 6 CH in the Input Indicators Ô.

Note that when the 6-Channel Direct Input is in use, you may not select a surround mode, as the external decoder determines processing. In addi- tion, there is no signal at the record outputs when the 6-Channel Direct Input is in use, and the Tone ^*and Balance &controls will not be effective.

Memory Backup

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