4. When the CHANNEL ADJUST menu

appears, press the

Button n until the on-

screen

›

cursor is next to the TEST TONE

line. Press the

‹

›

Buttons o so that ON is

shown and the AVR’s internal test tone will begin

to circulate from speaker to speaker in a clock-

wise direction into all speakers. The test noise will

play for two seconds in each speaker before cir-

culating, and a blinking on-screen cursor will

appear next to the name of each speaker location

when the sound is at that speaker.

5. Verify that the speakers have been properly con-

nected. As the test noise circulates, listen to make

certain that the sound comes from the speaker

position shown next to the

›

cursor in the on-

screen display and by the flashing indication in

the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators ˆ.

If the sound from a speaker location does NOT

match the position indicated in the display, turn

the AVR 135 off using the

Main Power Switch

1 and check the speaker wiring or connections

to exter

nal power amplifiers to make certain that

each speaker is connected to the correct output

terminal.

Note: Remember that when your system has only a

single Surround Back speaker and is thus configured

for 6.1-channel operation,

you will hear the test tone

twice from the back speaker, once with the SBL indi-

cation and once with the SBR indication. This is nor-

mal,

and it allows you to adjust the output balance for

the mixing circuit that creates a 6.1 output when 7.1

modes such as Logic 7/7.1 are used.

6. After checking for speaker placement, let the test

noise circulate again, and listen to see which

channels sound louder than the others

Using the

front left speaker as a reference, press the

‹

›

Buttons o on the remote to bring all speakers

to the same volume level. When one of the

‹

›

Buttons o is pushed,

the test noise circulation

will pause on the channel being adjusted to give

you time to make the adjustment.

When you

release the button, the circulation will resume

after five seconds.

Continue to adjust the individual channels until the

volume level sounds the same from each speaker

Adjustments should be made with the

‹

›

Buttons

o on the remote only, NOT the main volume con-

trols. If you are using a sound-pressure level (SPL)

meter for precise level adjustment, set the volume

so that the meter reads 75dB on the C-W

eighting,

Slow scale.

If you find that the output levels are either uncomfort

ably low or high, you may repeat the procedure.

Return to Step 2 and adjust the master volume either

slightly higher or lower to accommodate your particu-

lar room layout and your tastes. You may repeat this

procedure as many times as necessary to achieve a

desired result. In order to prevent possible damage to

your hearing or your equipment, we emphasize that

you should avoid setting the master volume above

0dB.

When all channels have an equal volume level, the

adjustment is complete. Use the

⁄

Navigation

Buttons

n to move the

›

cursor next to the

TEST TONE line, and press the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons o until the word OFF

appears to stop the test tone. Copy down the final

level settings for each channel so that you can easily

set them for the other source inputs. To exit this menu,

press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons n until the

on-screen

›

cursor is next to the BACK TO

MASTER MENU line, and then press the Set

Button

p to return to the MASTER MENU.

NOTE: The subwoofer level is not adjustable when the

normal test tone is in use. The subwoofer output level

may also be adjusted when the channel levels are

being trimmed to an exter

nal program source rather

than the test tone, as shown on page 27.

Using the Semi-OSD

System

The output levels may also be adjusted at any time

using the remote control and semi-OSD system. To

adjust the output levels in this fashion, press the

Test

Button

As soon as the button is pressed,

the

test tone will begin to circulate as indicated earlier. The

correct channel from which the test noise should be

heard will be shown in the lower third of the video

screen and in the

Lower Display Line ¯. While the

test noise is circulating

the proper channel position will

also be indicated in the

Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators

ˆ by a blinking letter within the correct

channel.

To adjust the output level, press the

⁄

Buttons

n until the desired level is 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 Button i again to complete the process.

If you find that the output levels are either uncomfort-

ably low or high, you may repeat the procedure, but

first adjust the master volume either slightly higher or

lower (but not higher than 0dB) to compensate. Do

not adjust the volume during the procedure, as that will

cause the output levels to be higher or lower for only

some channels, resulting in uneven balance.

NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available for the

VMAx or Surround Off

modes.

Additional Input Adjustments

After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode

digital input (if any), speaker type, and output levels,

go back to the

INPUT SETUP line on the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1) and enter the set-

tings for each input that you will use. In most cases,

only the digital input and surround mode will be differ-

ent 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.

When all settings and adjustments have been made,

press the

OSD Button v to return to normal oper-

ation of the AVR.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have

been made, the AVR 135 is ready for operation. While

there are some additional settings to be made, these

are best done after you have had an opportunity to lis-

ten to a variety of sources and different kinds of pro-

gram material. These advanced settings are described

on pages 28 and 29 of this manual.

In addition,

any

of the settings made in the initial configuration of the

unit may be changed at any time. As you add new or

different sources or speakers, 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 135, you are about to experience the

finest in music and home theater listening

. Enjoy!
