Additional Input Adjustments

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The output levels may also be adjusted at any time using the remote control and semi-OSD system. To adjust the output levels in this fashion, press the Test Button f. 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 Lower Display Line $. 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.

To adjust the output level, press the /¤ Navigation Button o 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, press the Test Button f again to complete the process.

NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available for the VMAx or Surround Off modes.

Additional Input Adjustments

After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and output levels, go back to the INPUT SETUP line on the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) and enter the set- tings for each input that you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode will be differ- ent from one input to the next, while the speaker type, crossover frequency, Night mode and output level settings will usually be the same and may be quickly entered by entering the same data used for the original input.

If you wish to have different speaker “size” and crossover settings for an input, remember to change the BASS MGR setting to INDEPENDENT, as shown on page 25. When all settings and adjust- ments have been made, press the OSD Button

to return to normal operation of the AVR.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR 430 is ready for operation. While there are some additional settings to be made, these are best done after you have had an opportunity to lis- ten to a variety of sources and different kinds of pro- gram material. These advanced settings are described on pages 36 and 37 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.

Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR 430, you are about to experience the finest in music and home theater listening. Enjoy!
