Operation

until the on-screen

menu (Figure 10).

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

select the channels to be adjusted. At each
channel position use the

‹

›

Buttons

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

so that the on-screen cursor is next

to the

CHANNEL RESET

line and press the

‹

›

Buttons

so that the word

O N

is high-

lighted. After the levels are reset, resume the pro-
cedure outlined above to reset the levels to the
desired settings. When all adjustments are done,
press the

⁄

Buttons

to move the on-

screen

›

cursor so that it is next to

BACK T O

AUDIO SETUP MENU

and then press the

Set Button

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

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.

Dim Function

Since the AVR will often be used when movies or
other video programming is viewed under low-
light conditions, you may wish to lower the bright-
ness of the front-panel displays and indicators so
that they do not distract from the video presenta-
tion. You may dim the displays using the menu
system, as shown on page 41, or you may control
the brightness directly from the remote.

Simply press the

Dim Button

once to dim

the front panel to half the normal brightness level;
press it again to turn the displays off. Note that
when the displays are dimmed or turned off, the
blue lighting around the

Standby/On Switch

will continue to stay lit as a reminder that the AVR
is still turned on.

The accent lighting for the

Volume Control

will remain at its normal level, rather than dim
when the panel displays are at half brightness.

Note that all changes to the front-panel bright-
ness level are temporary; the displays will return
to full brightness after the AVR is turned off and
then on again. To return the displays to full bright-
ness without turning the unit off, press the

Dim

Button

as needed until the displays are on.

In addition to lowering the brightness of the dis-
plays or turning them off completely, you may
wish to have them appear whenever a button on
the remote or front panel is pushed, and then
gradually fade out after a set time period. You
may do this by making the appropriate settings in
the

VFD FADE TIME OUT

line of the

ADVANCED

Menu, as shown on page 42.

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.
