JBL CVPD50, CVR700 Advanced Settings, Using the Remote as an SPL Meter, Front-Panel Brightness

NOTE: Remember to verify that the speakers have been properly connected. As the test noise circulates, listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the Lower Display Line E. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, stop the test tone by pressing the Test Tone Button h 14 twice, then turn the CVR700 off using the Main Power Switch 1and 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 noise circulate again, and listen to see which channels sound louder than the others. Using the front left speaker as a reference, press the ‹/›Navigation Controls q 6 to bring all speakers to the same volume level. When the ‹/› Navigation Controls q 6 are pressed, the test noise circulation will pause on the channel being adjusted to give you time to make the adjustment. When you release the button, the circula- tion will resume after 5 seconds. Continue to adjust individual channels until the vol- ume level sounds the same from each speaker. Adjustments should be made with only the ‹/›Navigation Controls q, NOT the main volume controls.

If you are using a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter for precise level adjustment, set the volume so that the meter reads 75dB on the C-Weighting, Slow scale.

Using the Remote as an SPL Meter

The EzSet feature on the main remote may also be used as an SPL meter to assist in accurate setting of the output levels, when either the internal test tone or favorite source material, such as a test disc, is used. To use the remote as an SPL meter, follow these steps:

1.Press and hold the SPL Select Button 9until the red LED under the Set Button slights 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.)

2.Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Controls qto change the bottom line of the remote’s LCD display to read MANUAL SPL as shown in Figure 28.

3.Press the Set Button swithin 5 seconds to activate the remote’s manual mode, so that it functions as an SPL meter. The right corner of the bottom line of the remote’s display will show the output level of the speakers as the test tone circulates. The level will show as a direct SPL indication between 66dB and 79dB. Below 66dB the remote will read LOW and above 79dB it will read HIGH.

4.When all channels have an equal vol- ume level, the adjustment is complete. When you are finished with all adjust- ments, press the Test Tone Button 7to return the remote to normal operation. The word EXITING will blink four times, and the remote will switch to the DVD/MAIN mode.

NOTE: The subwoofer level is not adjustable when the normal test tone is in use. The subwoofer output level may be adjusted when the channel levels are being trimmed to a program source rather than the test tone.

The output levels may also be adjusted at any time using the remote control and front-panel display. To adjust the output levels in this fashion, press the Test Tone Button 7. As soon as the button is pressed, the test tone will begin to cir- culate as indicated earlier. The correct channel from which the test noise should be heard will be shown in the Lower Display Line E. While the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/ Channel Input Indicators Fby a blinking letter within the correct channel. To adjust the output level, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Controls quntil the desired level is shown in the display. Once the buttons are released, the test noise will begin to circulate again in 5 seconds. When all channels have the same output level, press the Test Tone Button 7again to complete the process.

NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available for the Surround Off mode.

Advanced Settings

The ADVANCED SETTINGS sub- menu (Figure 29) may be accessed from the MAIN MENU (Figure 6). It con- tains some additional settings that will enhance the convenience of the CVR700.

It is not necessary to make these adjust- ments during the initial setup, and you may skip this section, returning to it later when you have more experience with the system.

Front-Panel Brightness

The CVR700’s front-panel displays and indicators are set at a default brightness level that is sufficient for viewing in a normally lit room. However, you may wish to occasionally lower the brightness of the display, or turn it off completely. The FRNT PNL BRGHTNESS setting defaults to full brightness, but you may adjust it to dim the display to half bright- ness, or turn the display off altogether. The LED inside the Main Power On/Off Button 1will always remain lit to remind you that the unit is turned on. The setting is temporary, and will only remain in effect until the unit is turned off.

Volume Default

As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when the CVR700 is turned on, it will always return to the volume setting in effect when the unit was turned off. However, you may prefer to always have the CVR700 turn on at a specific setting, regardless of what was last in use when the unit was turned off. The VOLUME DEFAULT feature may be turned on or off. The factory default setting is OFF. To set the feature, first turn the OSD sys- tem off and adjust the system volume to the desired default turn-on level. This level will be displayed on the front panel as a negative offset from the reference volume of 0dB, which is the system maxi- mum. For example, you may find a level of –25dB to be a comfortable default turn-on volume. Make a note of this num- ber, as you will not be able to adjust the volume from within the ADVANCED SETTINGS submenu.

Next, press the OSD Button D 36 to display the MAIN MENU, and then scroll to the ADVANCED line and select it to display the ADVANCED SETTINGS submenu (Figure 29). Scroll down to the VOLUME DEFAULT line and set it to ON.
