System Configuration
hear the test tone twice from the back speaker, once with the SBL indication and once with the SBR indication. This is normal, and it allows you to adjust the output balance for the mixing cir- cuit that creates a 6.1 output when 7.1 modes such as Logic 7/7.1 are used.
6.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 ‹/› Buttons E on the remote when the text of the loudspeaker to be adjust- ed is lit in blue, to bring all speakers to the same volume level. When one of the ‹/› 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. The
7.Continue to adjust the individual channels until the volume level sounds the same from each speaker. Note that adjustments should be made
with the ‹/› Buttons E on the remote only, NOT the main volume controls.
If you are using a
tone, open the main Volume Control to - 15dB and set the individual output level for each channel so that the meter reads 75dB,
You may also make these same adjustments with complete manual control over the channel being adjusted by pressing the⁄/¤ Navigation Button D until the blue cursor- bar is highlighting the Test Tone Seq
Eto select MANUAL. In the MANUAL mode, the test tone will also start immediately, but the tone will only be moved to another channel by pressing the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D. When the manual sequencing mode is active, the tone is turned off by pressing the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D until the blue
Eis then pressed to select OFF in the highlighted video.
If you find that the output levels are either uncomfortably low or high, you may repeat the procedure. Return to Step 2 and adjust the mas- ter volume either slightly higher or lower to accommodate your particular room layout and your tastes. You may repeat this procedure as many times as necessary to achieve a desired
result. In order to prevent possible damage to your hearing or your equipment, we emphasize that you should avoid setting the master volume above 0dB.
When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. Use the ⁄/¤ Buttons D to highlight the Test Tone - line in blue, pressing Set F followed by the ‹ / › Buttons E until the word OFF appears to stop the test tone.
Note that any time a given surround mode is selected, even for a different source input, these output level settings will be used. However, the output levels must be set independently for each surround mode, including variations such as Dolby Pro Logic
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 46.
When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. Now turn the
Volume down to about
main menu appears on the screen.
The output levels may also be adjusted at any time using the remote control and
up the Volume until you can hear the test noise clearly.
To adjust the output level, press the ⁄/¤ but- tons D 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,
turn the Volume down to about
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Output level adjustment 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 compensate level differences between speakers, that may be different with each surround mode, or to increase or decrease the level of certain speakers intention- ally, 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 speak- ers in the room cannot occur). But to compensate level differences between stereo and other sur- round modes (independently from the input selected) the outputs can be adjusted with the Level Trim Adjustment procedure, see page 46 also for the Surround Off (Stereo) modes.
After one input has been adjusted for analog or digital input, speaker type and surround mode, return to the 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
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 60).
Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR, you are about to experience the finest in music and home- theater listening. Enjoy!
