System Configuration
You may also adjust the output levels manually while using the level indication feature of the EzSet remote. To activate the sensor and indica- tor, simply press and release the SPL Indicator
Select Button on the remote while the test tone is circulating and set the main Volume
Control to
The Program/SPL Indicator 2will change color to indicate the level. Adjust the level using the ‹/› Buttons E on the remote until the LED lights green for all channels. When it is red, the level is too high; when it is orange, the level is too low. Press the SPL Indicator Select button when you are finished to turn the
sensor and Indicator off.
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 33.
When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. Now turn the
Volume down to about
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 Duntil 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 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 VMAx or 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, VMAx and other surround modes (independently from the input selected) the outputs can be adjusted with the Level Trim Adjustment procedure, see page 33, also for the Surround Off (Stereo) and VMAx modes.
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 35 to 36 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 in this section.
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 46).
Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR, you are about
to experience the finest in music and home- theater listening. Enjoy!
