Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the

AVR 7000 is established using the test tone, as outlined on page 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 can only be adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program material, first set the reference volume for the front left and front right channels using the Volume Control * 32 ú.

Once the reference level has been set, press the Channel Select button hò and note that FRONT L LEV will appear in the Main Information Display W. To change the level, first press the Set button i (, and then use the Selector buttons 5 or the

Ú/ Û buttons g to 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 i( and then press the Selector buttons 5 or the Ú/Û buttons g to select the next output channel location that you wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press the Selector buttons 5 or the Ú/Û buttons guntil WOOFER LEV appears in the Main Information Display Wor on-screen display.

Press the Set button i( when the name of the desired channel appears in the Main Information Display W and on-screen dis- play, and follow the instructions shown earlier to adjust the level.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan- nels requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjustments have been made and no further adjustments are made for five seconds, the AVR 7000 will return to normal operation.

The channel output for any input 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

*32 ú. Then, press the OSD button s to bring up the main AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 1). Press the Û Button g four times until the on-screen Ý cursor is next to the CHANNEL ADJUST line. Press the Set Button i to activate the CHANNEL ADJUST menu (Figure 7).

Once the menu appears on your video screen, use the Ú/Û buttons to move the on-screen Ý cursor so that it is next to the channel that you wish to adjust. Then, use the Ü/Ý buttons

j29 to raise or lower the output level. Remember, the goal is to have the output level at each channel be equal when heard at the listening position.

When all adjustments are done, press the Ú/Û buttons to move the on-screen Ý cursor so that it is next to RETURN TO MENU and then press the Set Button i if 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 s to 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 earlier.

6-Channel Direct Input

The AVR 7000 is equipped for future expansion through the use of optional, external adapters for formats that the AVR 7000 may not be capable of processing. When an adapter is con- nected to the 6-Channel Direct Input £, you may select it by pressing the 6-Ch Direct Input Selector l. The 6-Channel Direct Input may also be selected by pressing the Input Source Selector button ! on the front panel until the words 6 CH DIRECT appear in the Main Information Display W, and a green LED lights next to 6 CH in the

Input Indicators î.

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 addition, there is no signal at the record out- puts when the 6-Channel Direct Input is in use.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves tuner presets and system configuration information if the unit is acciden- tally unplugged or subjected to a power out- age. This memory will last for approximately two weeks, after which time all information must be reentered.
