Operation
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 will return to normal operation.
If you are using a disc with noise test signals or an external signal generator as the source from which to trim the output levels, you may use the EzSet feature of the remote to guide you to the correct SPL level. To use the remote for this pur- pose, start the test tone from the source and press and quickly release the SPL Indicator
Select to activate the sensor.
While the test tone is played, the Program/SPL Indicator 2will change color to indicate the level. When it is red, the level is too high; when it is orange, the level is too low. To set the refer-
ence level, open the Volume Control until the SPL Indicator´s LED lights green when the test signal is fed to the left front speaker. Then adjust the level of all other speakers, while they are receiving the test signal, until the LED lights green for all channels. After the output levels for all channels are aligned, press the SPL

level for each channel and surround mode as you prefer, e.g. you may lower the center channel level when you find it to be too high or increase the level of the rears when you find it to be too low with specific surround modes.
If you wish to reset all the levels to their original factory default of 0dB offset, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons Dso that the
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 above.
With Stereo and Vmax modes the adjustment procedure described above is the only way to trim the output level, e.g. to match the Stereo or Vmax level with other modes.
Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves tuner presets and system configuration information if the unit is turned off completely, accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power outage. This memory will last for approximately two weeks, after which time all information must be reentered.

When the menu appears, the internal test tone will be turned off. This will allow you to use your external test disc or other source material as the test signal. Then, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons Dto select the channels to be adjusted. At each channel position use the ‹/ › Buttons E
to change the output level.
Remember, when you are using a disc with test signal (e.g. pink noise) or an external signal generator as the source, the goal is to have the output level at each channel be equal when heard at the listening position, with any surround mode selected. When your test source is a nor- mal disc with music signals, you may adjust the
