Setup

SRS SURROUND MODE

From the front panel or HTR L53 remote, select “AUDIO MODE”. Toggle through to SRS ON/OFF. Toggle

the SRS to on or off via the L53’s volume knob or the HTR L53 volume arrows

LEFT & RIGHT (BALANCE ADJUST) SETUP

Adjusting the relative balance of your system’s loudspeakers ensures that surround-sound recordings, whether music or film, will present the balance of effects, music, and dialog that the artists intended. Additionally, if your system incorporates a subwoofer it establishes a correct relationship between the volume of the subwoofer and the other speakers, and thus of low-frequencies (bass) to other sonic elements. From the front L53’s front panel or HTR L53 remote select “AUDIO MODE”. Toggle from “LEFT” and “RIGHT” level adjustment, fine tune the level of each channel with the volume knob or remote’s volume buttons.

ADJUSTING THE TONE CONTROLS

The L53 bass and treble controls are adjusted using the front panel’s “AUDIO MODE” button in conjunction with the “VOLUME (SETUP)” knob; see “Front Panel”.

NOTE

Bass/treble settings affect only the front left/right channels, not the subwoofer.

The AUDIO MODE is “global”; that is, it remains in force with all inputs and in SRS mode.

ADJUSTING SUBWOOFER LEVEL TRIM “ON THE FLY”

You can make changes to the relative level of the subwoofer output. This may prove useful in a number of circumstances; for example, to reduce excessive deep bass (or enhance deep bass) by lowering (raising) the subwoofer level

TO ADJUST LEVEL TRIM

Use the HTR L53 remote’s “SUB” buttons for direct-access level adjustment of this channel, over a range of ±12 dB.

NOTE

Channel Level changes made via the HTR L53 are retained even if you cycle the receiver through standby.
