System Configuration
Continue to adjust the individual channels until
the volume level sounds the same from each
speaker. Note that adjustments should be made
with the buttons on the remote
/
31
only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are
using a sound pressure level (SPL) meter for
precise level adjustment, set the volume so that
the meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting Slow.
You may also adjust the output levels manually
while using the level indication feature of the
EzSet remote. To activate the sensor and indica-
tor, simply press and release the SPL Indicator
Select button on the remote while the
36
test tone is circulating. The Program/SPL
Indicator will change color to indicate the
level. Adjust the level using the
/
until the LED lights green for all chan-
31
nels. When it is red the level is too high; when
it is amber the level is too low. Press the SPL
Indicator Select button when you are
36
finished to turn the sensor and Indicator off.
NOTE: The subwoofer output level is not
adjustable using the test tone. To change the
subwoofer level, follow the steps for Output
Level Trim Adjustment on page 30.
When all channels have an equal volume level,
the adjustment is complete. To exit this menu,
press the buttons until the on-screen
/
cursor is next to the
line, and then press the Set button
to return to the main
menu.
The output levels may also be adjusted at any
time using the discrete buttons and semi-OSD
system. To adjust the output levels in this fash-
ion, press the Test Tone Selector
soon as the button is pressed, the test tone will
begin to circulate as indicated earlier. The cor-
rect channel from which the test noise should
be heard will be shown in the lower third of
the video screen and in the Main
Information Display . While the test noise
is circulating, the proper channel position will
also be indicated in the Speaker/Channel
Indicators by a blinking letter within the
correct channel.
24 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
To adjust the output level, press the Selector
buttons on the front panel
buttons until the desired level is
31
shown in the display or on screen. Once the
buttons are released, the test noise will begin
to circulate again in five seconds.
When all channels have the same output level,
press the Test Tone Selector
again to complete the process.
NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available
for the VMAx or Surround Off mode.
Additional Input Adjustments
After one input has been adjusted for surround
buttons mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and
output levels, go back to the
line on the
menu and enter the settings for each input that
you will use. In most cases, only the digital
input and surround mode will be different from
one input to the next, while the speaker type,
crossover frequency, night mode and output
level settings will usually be the same and may
be quickly entered by entering the same data
used for the original input.
Once the settings outlined on the previous
pages have been made, the AVR 310 is ready
for operation. While there are some additional
settings to be made, these are best done after
you have had an opportunity to listen to a vari-
ety of sources and different kinds of program
material. These advanced settings are described
on pages 27 to 31 of this manual. In addition,
any of the settings made in the initial configu-
ration of the unit may be changed at any time.
As you add new or different sources or speak-
. As ers, or if you wish to change a setting to better
reflect your listening taste, simply follow the
instructions for changing the settings for that
parameter as shown in this section.
Having completed the setup and configuration
process for your AVR 310, you are about
to experience the finest in music and home-
theater listening. Enjoy!
