certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal.

After checking for speaker placement, let the test noise circulate again, and listen to see which channels sound louder than the others. Using the front left speaker as a reference, press the Ü/Ý buttons j 29 on the remote to bring all speakers to the same volume level. Note that when one of the Ü/Ý buttons is pushed, the test noise circulation will pause on the channel being adjusted to give you time to make the adjustment. When you release the button, the circulation will resume after five seconds.

Continue to adjust the individual speakers until they all have the same volume. Note that adjustments should be made with the Ü/Ý buttons j 29 on the remote only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are using a sound pressure level (SPL) meter for precise level adjustment, set the volume so that the meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting Slow.

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 29.

When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. To exit this menu, press the Ú/Û buttons g until the on-screen

Ýcursor is next to the RETURN TO MENU line, and then press the Set button i to return to the main AUDIO SETUP 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 26/e. As soon as the button is pressed, the test tone will begin to circulate as indicated earlier. The cor- rect 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 W. As an added assist, while the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/Channel Indicators P by a blinking letter within the correct channel.

To adjust the output level, press the Selector buttons on the front panel 5 or the Ú/Û but- tons g 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, press the Test Tone Selector 26/e button again to complete the process.

Note: Output level adjustment is not available for the VMAx or Surround Off mode.

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 INPUT SETUP line on the main AUDIO SETUP menu and enter the settings for each input that you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode will be differ- ent 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 7000 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 vari- ety of sources and different kinds of program material. These advanced settings are described in the following pages of this manual. In addi- tion, any of the settings made in the initial con- figuration 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.

Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR 7000, you are about

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