System Configuration

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 Lower Display Line

˜While the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Ú by a blinking letter within the correct channel.

To adjust the output level, press the /Navigation Button DF until the desired level is shown in the display or on the 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, press the Screen Button 6 next to TEST again to 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 Surround Off mode, as no surround speakers are used (so level differences between the speakers in the room cannot occur). But to compensate level differences between stereo and other surround modes (independently from the input selected) the outputs can be adjusted with the Level Trim Adjustment procedure, see page 51, also for the Surround Off (Stereo) modes.

In addition to the controls for selecting channels and the test tone operation, the settings on this menu also allow you to reset the level settings to either the factory default of 0dB or to re-estab- lish the settings that were entered by running EzSet/EQ II.

To reset all channel levels to 0dB press /¤ Navigation Button DF so that the cursor is pointing to the LEVEL RESET line and then press the /¤ Navigation Button DF once so ON appears in highlighted video.

To return to the settings established by EzSet/EQ II, even if you have made manual changes to the output trims using the steps shown above, press /¤ Navigation Button DF so that the cursor is pointing to the EZSET SETTINGS line and then press the /¤ Navigation Button DF once so ON appears in highlighted video. Remember that after turning the EzSet/EQ II settings back on you must turn return to this menu line and change

the setting to OFF if you wish to make any manual trim adjustments.

The final setting in this menu enables you to have the output levels remain the same for all inputs or to be adjusted differently for each (or any) input. While most listeners prefer to keep the same output levels for all sources, you may wish to raise or lower some channels, particularly the subwoofer output for a specific source such as a CD that is primarily used for music playback.

To enter individual settings for a specific channel, first make sure that you have either run EzSet/EQ and/or made any desired manual trim adjust- ments to set a baseline for all channels. After that is done, press the OSD Button E to exit the menu system and then select the input for which you wish to enter different level settings by using either the Input Source Selectors % on the front panel or the buttons on the remote that are used to select an input source BCD. Next, return to the CHAN- NEL OUTPUT submenu using the steps out- lined above.

At the CHANNEL OUTPUT menu press /¤ Navigation Button DF until the cursor is pointing to the LEVEL TRIM line and then press the /¤ Navigation Button DF once so that INDEPENDENT appears in highlighted video. When this setting is active you may change the channel output levels for any input without changing the settings pre- viously established for another.

When all changes to the Channel Output levels and the associated level trim settings have been made press the /¤ Navigation Button DF until the cursor is on the BACK TO MANUAL SETUP menu and then pressing the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q so that you may make any other adjustments to the system parameters. If the changes just made complete the manual adjustments needed, press the OSD Button E to exit the menu system and resume normal sys- tem operation.

Additional Input Adjustments

After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and output levels, go back to the IN/OUT SETUP line on the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) and enter the settings for each input that you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode will be different from one input to the next, while the speaker type, crossover frequency, Night mode and output level settings will usually be the same and may be quickly entered by entering the same data used for the original input.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR 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 53 to 54 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 dif- ferent 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.

EzSet/EQ II Preset Selection

If you have stored more than one EQ Design using EzSet/EQ II, you may select the Design you wish to use from the EZSET/EQ PRESET SELECT line of the EZSET/EQ MAIN menu (Figure 12). Follow the instructions on page 32 to view the EZSET/EQ MAIN menu, and then press the /¤ Navigation Button DF to move the cursor to the EZSET/EQ PRESET SELECT line. Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to bring the next menu to the screen, and then press the /¤ Navigation Button DF to move the cursor to the preset number for the Design you wish to use. When your selection is made, press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set button Q on the ZR 10 to store the selection. Then move the cursor to BACK TO EZSET/EQ MAIN using the /¤ Navigation Button DF and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10 remote to exit the menu system.

You may also select an EQ Design directly, or turn the EQ filters off by following the instructions on page 51.

Note that any settings changed at any time, also when the discrete buttons are used only, will be stored in memory in the AVR, also if it´s turned off completely, unless it will be reset (see page 59).

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