System Configuration

When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. Now 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. To exit this menu, press the ⁄/¤ buttons Duntil the on- screen › cursor is next to the BACK T O MASTER MENU line, and then press the Set Button Fto return to the MASTER MENU.

The output levels may also be adjusted at any time using the remote control and semi-OSD sys- tem. To adjust the output levels in this fashion, press the Test Button 8. As soon as the but- ton is pressed, the test tone will begin to circu- late 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. While the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Q by a blinking letter within the correct channel. Turn

up the Volume until you can hear the test noise clearly.

To adjust the output level, press the ⁄/¤ but- tons Duntil 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 8but- ton again to turn the test tone off and complete 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 35, also for the Surround Off (Stereo) and VMAx modes.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR 4500 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 37 to 38 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 in this section.

Note that any settings changed at any time, also when the discrete buttons are used only, will be stored in memory in the AVR 4500, also if it´s turned off completely, unless it will be reset (see page 68). 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) or be independent from any input or surround mode (crossover, only depending on the front speaker configuration), as described on previous pages.

Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR 4500, you are about

to experience the finest in music and home- theater listening. Enjoy!
