Harman-Kardon AVR 155 System Configuration, Volume until you can hear the test noise clearly

System Configuration

Later, it is recommended that you adjust the out- put levels while listening to various sources, as opposed to the test tone. See page 37 for more information on trimming the output levels to external source material.

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 37.

When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. Now turn the

Volume down to about –40dB, otherwise the listening level may be too high as soon as the source’s music starts to play. To exit this menu, press the ⁄/¤ buttons D until the on-screen › cursor is next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line, and then press the

OK Button F to return to the MASTER MENU.

The output levels may also be adjusted at any time using the remote control and semi-OSD sys- tem. To adjust the output levels in this fashion, press the Test Button 8. As soon as the button is pressed, the test tone will begin to circulate as indicated earlier. The correct channel from which the test noise should be heard will be shown in the lower third of the video screen and in the Main Information Display Ò. While the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/ Channel Input Indicators $ by a blinking letter within the correct channel. Turn up the

Volume until you can hear the test noise clearly.

To adjust the output level, press the ⁄/¤ buttons 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 –40dB, otherwise the listening level may be too high as soon as the source’s music starts to play. Afterwards press the Test Tone Selector 8 button again to turn the test tone off and complete the process.

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 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.

After one input has been adjusted for analog or digital input, speaker type and surround mode, return to the INPUT SETUP line on the MASTER menu and enter the settings for each input that you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode may be different from one input to the next, while the speaker type will usually be the same (inputs set to GLOBAL). But if prefered you can also select different speaker types or turn speakers on or off individually for each input in use.

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 system settings are described on pages 39 to 40 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 you perform a reset (see page 48).

Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR, you are about to experience the finest in music and home- theater listening. Enjoy!
