JBL CVR700, CVPD50 Using EzSet, Manual Output Level Adjustment, Speaker Outputs ¡£¢, Set Button s

Using EzSet

The JBL Cinema Vision EzSet (main) remote makes it possible to quickly and accurately set the output levels without the use of a sound-pressure meter, although manual adjustment is also avail- able. However, for the easiest setup, fol- low these steps while seated in the listen- ing position that will be used most often:

1.Make certain that all speaker positions have been properly configured for their “large” or “small” settings and turn off the OSD system if it is in use.

2.Adjust the volume so that it is at –2dB, as shown in the on-screen display or

Lower Display Line E.

3.Press and hold the SPL Button j until the red LED under the SPL Button jlights and the LCD screen in the remote changes to the display shown in Figure 24. (You may also nav- igate to the screen shown in Figure 24 by pressing and holding the Remote Menu Button bfor 3 seconds until the main remote menu appears; then scroll to the SET SPKR LEVELS option and press the Set Button s.)

4.Press the Set Button jwithin 5 seconds so that the screen shown in Figure 25 appears. Press the ⁄/¤

Navigation Controls quntil the lower line of the remote’s LCD display shows the number of speakers in your system. (Don’t count the subwoofer.) For example, if you have left, center, right, side surround left and right, and back surround left and right speakers for a full 7.1 system, press the button twice so that the bottom line reads

7 CHANNELS, as shown in Fig. 25.

5.Hold the remote in front of you at arm’s length, being sure not to cover the EzSet Microphone Sensor at the top of the remote, and press the Set Button jwithin 5 seconds to begin the EzSet calibration process. At this point, EzSet will take control of your system, starting the test tone at the front left speaker, and automatically adjusting the output level so that it is correct. During the adjustment, the Lower Display Line Ewill display the

speaker position on the left side of the display and the offset from reference level on the right side of the display. As the levels are adjusted, the speaker position and a level indication will appear in the bottom line of the remote’s LCD display (Figure 26).

•The channel position being adjusted will flash in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators F. If the test noise is heard from a channel other than the one shown in the indicator, there is an error in the speaker connections. If this is the case, press the Remote Menu Button bto stop the adjustment. Then turn the unit off and verify that all speakers are connected to the proper

Speaker Outputs ¡™£¢.

•During the adjustment process for each channel, you will see indications of

LOW, HIGH and a level readout in . This is normal, and it confirms that EzSet is doing its job of changing the levels to match the desired reference.

•If a channel cannot be adjusted to the proper reference level, you will see FAIL displayed in the remote’s bottom LCD line before the test tone moves to the next channel. This is usually an indication that the volume control was set too low. When EzSet stops circulat- ing the tone through all channels and returns to normal, adjust the volume level and repeat the procedure from Step 3.

6.After the test noise has circulated once through each channel, it will send the tone to each channel once again, to verify the settings.

7.After two complete circulations of the tone, the levels are set. Upon comple- tion of the second circulation, the LCD Information Display 2will flash

COMPLETE four times and then go out. The tone will stop and the CVR700 will return to normal operation.

If you find that the output levels cho- sen by EzSet are either uncomfortably low or high, you may repeat the proce- dure. Return to Step 2 and adjust the master volume either slightly higher or lower to accommodate your particular room layout and your tastes. You may repeat this procedure as many times as necessary to achieve a desired result. In order to prevent possible

damage to your hearing or your equip- ment, it is important to avoid setting the master volume above 0dB.

NOTE: The subwoofer output is not adjusted when the test tone is in use. To adjust the subwoofer output, you must use an external source, following the instructions on page 64.

Manual Output Level

Adjustment

Output levels may also be adjusted man- ually, either to set them to a specific level with an SPL meter, or to make fine tuning adjustments to the levels obtained using the EzSet remote. In order to adjust the subwoofer’s output level, you must use the manual adjustment method.

Manual output level adjustment may be performed using either the on-screen SPEAKER LEVELS submenu, or using the main remote control.

Using the On-Screen Menu System

With the SPEAKERS submenu on screen, scroll down to the LEVELS line and press the Set Button s 7 . The SPEAKER LEVELS submenu (Figure 27) will appear. All of the values should be set at 0 dB. If not, you may wish to scroll down to the RESET THESE SETTINGS line and press

the Set Button s 7		effect the reset.

Scroll down to the TEST TONE line and use the ‹/›Navigation Controls q 6 so that ON appears. The inter- nal test tone will begin to circulate from speaker to speaker in a clockwise direc- tion and will be heard from all speakers in turn, playing for two seconds in each speaker before continuing, and a blinking on-screen cursor will appear next to the name of each speaker location when the sound is at that speaker.

Alternatively, you may leave the test tone turned off and play a favorite piece of program material, such as a CD music selection or a DVD movie. With the SPEAKER LEVELS submenu on screen you will be able to adjust the out- put levels using the source material as a
