RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS) RDS is a method for the transmission of additional information from local radio stations (the system only operates for radio stations broadcasting in FM). Using RDS data you can see the name of the radio station, the name of the program and/or the type of program, all shown on the multi-function display (Note: RDS only functions when the local radio station includes the RDS transmission within its signal and when the signal is strong enough).
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION, DELAY TIME & DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL SPEAKER CONFIGURATION It is important to configure your speakers correctly in order to get the most from your AV Receiver. This versatile AV Receiver provides the flexibility to experience multi-channel surround sound without a center speaker.
TEST TONE Speaker Level balance Adjustment The test tone function is useful to adjust the relative volume between speakers in DOLBY DIGITAL or DOLBY PRO LOGIC II mode. Once the balance is set, you don’t have to change the balance as long as the speakers aren’t moved.
SURROUND MODE The surround modes create a “live” atmosphere such as that experienced in movie theaters, discos, stadiums and concert halls. Select the appropriate surround mode according to the program source. (Note: Surround speakers are needed for DTS/DOLBY DIGITAL Dolby Pro Logic II surround modes to function). It is recommended to use a Center speaker when operating this unit in DTS/DOLBY DIGITAL/Dolby Pro Logic II surround modes.
Suggestion Check and reconnect the speakers to the correct output on the AVR-320 rear panel. Place this product as far as possible from electric devices which emit electrical interference.
