AV Direct setting

The AV Direct mode allows the receiver to pass audio/ video signals arriving at one of the AV connector inputs to the other AV connector outputs without the sound being routed to the speakers. (See also The AV Direct mode on page 9.) In AV Direct mode, the current input is shown (at reduced brightness) in the front panel display.

The AV Direct setting determines whether the receiver switches to AV Direct mode automatically, or only when you switch it manually.

AVD MANU – Allows you to switch between standby and AV Direct mode using the AV DIRECT button on the remote control.

AVD AUTO – Automatically switches to AV Direct mode when an incoming signal is sensed by the receiver in standby.

Auto input select setting

Specifies how the receiver responds when it senses that a component connected to one of the SCART AV connectors is switched on.

SEL MANU – You must select the receiver’s input manually using the front panel INPUT SELECTOR, or the input buttons on the remote control.

SEL AUTO – When a component connected to one of the SCART AV connectors (except the TV) is switched on, the receiver automatically switches to that input.

When set to AVD AUTO, if a connected component is switched on, you cannot switch this receiver into standby (INPUT ON appears in the display).

You can’t use the sleep timer when the AV Direct setting is AVD AUTO (see also Using the sleep timer on page 29).

AV Direct does not work when EON is on (see also Enhanced Other Network (EON) on page 28).

Setting individual channel levels

Use to set the relative volume of each channel as you find necessary for balanced surround sound. You can set up individual channel levels for each listening mode.

1Use the AUTO, STEREO, SOUND MODE, SURROUND or ADVANCED SURROUND button to select a listening mode to set up channel levels for.

2Use MASTER VOLUME to adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
3Press TEST TONE to output the test tone.

The test tone is output in the following order (from speakers that are switched on and are appropriate for the current listening mode):

L – Front left

C – Center

R – Front right

RS – Right surround

LS – Left surround

SW – Subwoofer

4Use the LEVEL +/– buttons to adjust speaker levels so that you hear the test tone at the same volume from each speaker when seated in your main listening position.

The channel level range is ± 10 dB.

5Press TEST TONE to turn off the test tone.

Since the subwoofer transmits an ultra-low frequency its sound may seem quieter than it actually is. Be careful not to turn up your subwoofer too much and check the volume with an actual source.

The subwoofer volume is best controlled with the volume control on the subwoofer unit itself.

The speaker volume can be adjusted without outputting the test tone by pressing CH SELECT then using the LEVEL +/– buttons.

The level setting mode is automatically exited after 5 seconds of inactivity.

The default setting is 0 dB for all channels.
