speaker position shown in the Main Information Display K. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, turn the AVR480 off using the Main Power Switch 1 and check the speaker wiring to make certain that each speaker is con- nected to the correct output terminal.
After checking for speaker placement, let the test tone circulate again, and listen to see which channels sound louder than the others. Using the front left speaker as a reference, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons
Con the remote to bring all speakers to the same volume level. Note that when one of the ⁄/¤ Buttons C is pushed, the test tone circulation will pause on the channel being adjusted to give you time to make the adjustment. When you release the button, the circulation will resume after 5 seconds.
Continue to adjust the individual speak- ers until they all have the same volume. Adjustments should be made with the ⁄/¤ Buttons C only, NOT the main volume controls.
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 30.
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 Button 7 again to turn the test tone off and com- plete the process.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The output level adjustment made will be effective for the surround mode currently selected, independent of which source input is selected. To adjust the output level with other surround modes, step through all inputs you’re using by repeatedly press- ing the Source Selector Buttons ! on the front panel or the appropriate Input Selectors 5 on the remote. When the indicator for any surround mode for which the level adjustment has not yet been made lights in the Main Information Display K, repeat the level adjustment described above. Alternatively, change the surround mode either by pressing the
Surround Mode Selector Button 7
on the front panel repeatedly, or by press- ing the Surround Mode Selector j on the remote and the ⁄/¤ Buttons
Cuntil the desired surround mode
appears in the Main Information
Display K. This will also allow you to compensate for level differences between speakers, which may be differ- ent with each surround mode, or to increase or decrease the level of certain speakers intentionally, depending on the surround mode selected.
Once the settings outlined on the previ- ous pages have been made, the AVR480 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 page 30 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 above. Note that any settings changed at any time will be stored in memory in the AVR480. The settings will either depend on the input (speaker configuration, analog/ digital input selection, surround mode) or on the surround mode selected (speaker output level), as described on previous pages.
Having completed the setup and configu- ration process for your AVR480, you are about to experience the finest in music and home theater listening. Enjoy!
