System Configuration
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this test noise will have a much lower level than normal music, the volume must be lowered after the adjustment for all channels is made, BEFORE you turn the test tone off.
NOTE: This is a good time to verify that the speakers have been properly connected. As the test noise circulates, listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the Main Information Display. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, turn the AVR off using the Main Power Switch and check the speaker wiring to make 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 K/L buttons on the remote to bring all speakers to the same volume level. Note that when one of the K/L 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 K/L
buttons on the remote only, NOT the main volume controls.
When all channels have the same output level, turn the Volume I7 down to about
Afterwards press the Tone Button button again to turn the test tone off and complete the process.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Output level adjustment made will be effective for the surround mode currently selected, also when other inputs are selected using the same surround mode. To adjust the output level with all other surround modes used, step through all inputs you´re using by pressing the Source Selector buttons A on the front panel or the appropriate Input Selectors 5 on the remote. When the indicator for any surround mode for which the level adjustment has not yet been made lights in the Main Information Display
For its Indicator will illuminate in the Surround Mode Indicators field D, repeat the level adjustment described above. This will also allow you to compensate 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.
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 page 21 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 above. Note that any settings changed at any time, will be stored in memory in the AVR, also if it´s turned off completely, unless it will be reset (see page 34). Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR, you are about to experience the finest in music and home theater listening. Enjoy!
