You may also access the Channel command by pressing the Channel Button on the remote. Use the ⁄/¤ Buttons to select the desired speaker channel and press the Set Button, then use the ⁄/¤ Buttons again to adjust the level. As with the

When this setting reads MANUAL, the test tone will not move to the next channel until you use the ⁄/¤ Buttons to move it.
TEST TONE: This line determines whether the test tone is active. To begin the process of setting the levels, use the ‹/› Buttons to change the setting to ON. Any time you manually move the cursor out of the channel listings area of the screen, this setting will automatically change to OFF, stopping the test tone.
NOTE: Setting the channel levels while one surround mode is active does not necessarily carry over to all other modes. We recommend that after you have set the levels satisfactorily in one mode, you note the results and change to other surround modes. For those modes that don’t reflect your level settings, you may either copy the settings you obtained (as a short cut), or
System Settings
The AVR 147 offers several system settings that allow you to make the receiver easier to use rather than directly affecting performance. Most of these settings may be accessed from the SYSTEM SETUP menu, which is selected by pressing the OSD Button and navigating to the SYSTEM SETUP line of the MASTER MENU. Press the Set Button to display the submenu. See Figure 86.

All of the speaker channels will appear at the top of the screen with their current level settings. Any channels that have not been programmed using the Speaker Size menu will display four dashes and will not be accessible. If you have selected a surround mode that does not utilize all speakers, such as Surround Off, you will see dashed lines next to the speakers that aren’t needed for that mode.
CHANNEL RESET: If you wish to start by resetting all of the levels to their factory defaults of 0dB, navigate to this line and change the setting to ON. The levels will be reset, and this setting will then revert to OFF.
If you are using an external source to set your output levels, simply navigate to each channel and use the ⁄/¤ Buttons to adjust the level as desired.
If you would like to set your levels using the AVR 147’s internal test tone, adjust the TEST TONE SEQ and TEST TONE lines as follows.
TEST TONE SEQ: When this setting reads AUTO, the test tone will automatically circulate to all channels, pausing for a few moments at each channel and then moving to the next channel several seconds later, as indicated by the blinking cursor. You may adjust the level for any channel when the test tone is paused there by using the ‹/› Buttons. You may also use the ⁄/¤ Buttons at any time to move the cursor to another line, and the test tone will follow the cursor.
