30 OPERATION
Operation
Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan-
nels requiring adjustment have been set. When
all adjustments have been made and no further
adjustments are made for five seconds, the
AVR will return to normal operation.
The channel output may also be adjusted using
the full-OSD on-screen menu system. First, set the
volume to a comfortable listening level using the
Volume Control ı
d. Then, press the OSD
button L to bring up the
MASTER MENU
(Figure 1). Press the ¤ Button D four times
until the on-screen › cursor is next to the
CHANNEL ADJUST line. Press the Set
Button F to activate the
CHANNEL
ADJUST menu (Figure 10).

When the menu appears, the internal test tone
will be turned off. This will allow you to use your
external test disc or other source material as the
test signal. Then, use the
⁄ / ¤ Buttons D to
select the channels to be adjusted. At each
channel position use the
‹ / › Buttons Ea
to change the output level.
Remember, when you are using a disc with test
signal (e.g. pink noise) or an external signal
generator as the source, the goal is to have the
output level at each channel be equal when
heard at the listening position, with any surround
mode selected. When your test source is a normal
disc with music signals, you may adjust the level
for each channel and surround mode as you pre-
fer, e.g. you may lower the center channel level
when you find it to be too high or increase the
level of the rears when you find it to be too low
with specific surround modes.
If you wish to reset all the levels to their original
factory default of 0dB offset, press the
⁄ / ¤
Buttons D so that the on-screen cursor is next
to the CHANNEL RESET line and press the
‹ / › Buttons Ea so that the word ON is
highlighted. After the levels are reset, resume the
procedure outlined above to reset the levels to
the desired settings. When all adjustments are
done, press the
⁄ / ¤ Buttons D to move the
on-screen ➞ cursor so that it is next to
BACK
T O MASTER MENU and then press the Set
Button F if you wish to go back to the main
menu to make other adjustments. If you have no
other adjustments to make, press the OSD
Button
L to exit the menu system.
NOTE: The output levels may be separately
trimmed for each digital and analog surround mode.
If you wish to have different trim levels for a specific
mode, select that mode and then follow the instruc-
tions in the steps shown above.
With Stereo and Vmax modes the adjustment
procedure described above is the only way to trim
the output level, e.g. to match the Stereo or Vmax
level with other modes.
Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory backup
system that preserves tuner presets and system
configuration information if the unit is turned off
completely, accidentally unplugged or subjected
to a power outage. This memory will last for
approximately two weeks, after which time all
information must be reentered.
