Phantom Mode: Select this mode if a
center channel speaker is not used. The
AVR11 will create a "phantom" center
channel using the outputs of the left and
right speakers. Note that the Phantom
mode is not available when Dolby 3
Stereo is selected as a surround mode.
DELAY SETTINGS
Delay time adjustment enables you to
adjust the timing between signals at the
front and rear channels. While the factory
setting is appropriate for most rooms,
some installations create an uncommon
distance between the front and rear
speakers that may cause the front
channel sounds to become disconnected
from the surround channels.
To re-synchronize the front and rear
channels press the DELAY button
the remote until the delay between front
and rear channels is more appropriate to
your room.

OUTPUT LEVEL CALIBRATION
For proper operation in the surround
modes it is important that the level from
all channels be as close to one another as
possible (with test signal). A small
amount of time spent to properly
calibrate the AVR11's output levels will

enable the unit to deliver all the
performance it is capable of within the
specific environment of your listening
room.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Many people are
confused about the operation of the
surround channels. While some assume
that sound should always be coming
from each speaker, most of the time there
will be little or no sound in the rear
channels. This is because they are only
used when a movie director or sound
mixer specifically places sound there to
create an effect or pull you into the
action. When the output levels have been
properly set it is normal for the rear
speakers to only operate occasionally.
Artificially increasing the volume to the
rear speakers will destroy the illusion of
an enveloping surround field that
duplicates the way you hear sound in a
movie theater or concert hall.
To calibrate your system,
h
on
follow these steps:
1. Select the Dolby ProLogic mode using
the
SURROUND MODE 4
the front panel.

2. Place the front panel
control at its midpoint position, so that
the indicator is pointing straight up in
the 12 o'clock position. If you normally
leave the
position to compensate for speaker
placement relative to your preferred
listening position, leave it in that spot.
3. Sit in the location that you will
normally occupy when using your AVR11.
4. Press the
remote and note that a test noise signal
will circulate between the channels.
• As the test noise circulates among the
channels the word
channel name will appear in the front
panel information display window. As the
names change you should first listen to
the location of the tone and verify that it
matches the name displayed in the
display. If the display indicates a different
location than the speaker the test noise is
coming from you should turn off the unit
and verify that the connections to the
speakers are made to the correct
terminals on the rear panel.
5. As the test signal circulates among the
channels, use the
UP/DOWN j
UP/DOWN m
to adjust the level so that the volume
from all channels sounds equal.
6. Press the
the test signal off. Your system is now
properly calibrated and further volume
adjustment should be made using the
button on
MASTER VOLUME
remote or the front panel volume control.
