System Configuration
Once the speakers have been placed
in their proper positions and connected
to the AVR55, the final steps in the instal-
lation process involve configuration of
the unit for the specific speaker types
in use and the balancing of speaker
output levels.
Before proceeding, check to make
certain that all connections are secure
and follow these steps:
1. Plug the unit into an unswitched AC
outlet and press the
Main Power
button
until it is flush with the
1
front panel. Note that the
Power
Indicator 3
will turn orange.
2. Install the supplied AAA batteries in the
remote control, as shown on page 15.
3. Press the
System Power Control

on the front panel or the
Main
button
c
on the remote
Power On
and note that the
Power Indicator
will turn green.

Bass Management
The settings made during the speaker
configuration process will determine
which speakers receive low-frequency
information, which are those sounds
below 100Hz. If a subwoofer is installed,
it will receive low-frequency information,
and none will be sent to the front
left/right speakers. If you do NOT have
full-range front speakers, it is important
that "NO" be selected as the subwoofer
setting option to prevent damage to your
front speakers.
