System Configuration

To re-synchronize the front, center and surround

channels at first measure and note the distance

from the listening/viewing position to the front,

center, surround and surround back (if any)

speakers in meters.

If you have already calibrated your system using

Ezset/EQ the delay settings shown will reflect the

results of the measurements made by Ezset/EQ.

No further changes are needed unless you wish

to change an item to reflect your taste or a non-

standard system configuration. To change the

settings, follow the instructions below to enter

the distance between the speaker’s location and

your main listening position. The measurements

need not be accurate to the inch, as the system is

designed to accommodate typical listening rather

than a specific “sweet spot” position.

The Delay setting for all speakers configured for

your system will be available only (with 5.1 or

with 6.1/7.1 configuration) when any Dolby sur-

round mode is selected (except Dolby-3-Stereo).

In addition they are selectable with these modes

only, with all other modes the delay times are

fixed. Note that the Delay settings are "Global"

for all inputs, using those Dolby modes, and need

not to be repeated with any input.

To view or change the current delay settings,

make sure the

EZSET/EQ MAIN menu

(Figure 17a) is on the screen. Press the

⁄

Navigation Button

F to move the

cursor to

DELAY ADJUST and then press

the Set Button

Q. The DELAY

ADJUST

menu (Figure 21) will appear on the

screen.

Next move the ➞ cursor to the UNIT line and

select the unit for distances you prefer to enter,

feet or meter. Then move the ➞ cursor to the

FLline where the first adjustment is made. Now

press the

‹

›

Buttons

F until the

distance from the front left speaker to the

preferred listening position is entered. Next press

the

Button

F once to move to the next

line.

If you wish to reset all delay settings to the

factory defaults, as shown in Figure 21, press the

video. The settings will reset, and you may now

continue to make any needed changes following

the instructions shown below. Once you make

the first change to the default settings, the

setting on the

DELAY RESET line will return

OFF, indicating that the factory defaults are

no longer in effect.

Now the ➞ cursor will be at the

CEN line so

that the delay for the center speaker may be set.

Press the

›

Buttons

F until the

distance from the main listening position to the

center speaker is entered. Repeat the procedure

for all active speaker positions by pressing the

Button

F to change the setting.

If you have already run Ezset/EQ, return to the

highlighted in reverse video. The settings will be

resent to the values calculated by Ezset/EQ, and

the menu will be locked so that the settings may

not be changed. To go back into the menu and

make any manual changes to one or more

channels, you must first return the cursor to the

EZSET SETTINGS line and press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

F so that OFF is

highlighted in reverse video. This will unlock the

menu to allow changes.

When the delay time for all speaker positions has

been set you may return to the master menu by

pressing the

Delay button on the remote

. Then press the

⁄

Center or Rear channels for adjustment, followed

by a press of the Set button

. Next, press the

⁄

buttons

on the remote until the

desired figure appears in the Main Information

and press the Set button p

twice to confirm the setting and return to the

normal display.

When the delay settings are complete, press the

next to the

Q to

return to the

MANUAL SETUP menu.

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the

configuration of any surround-sound product. It

is particularly important for a digital receiver such

as the AVR, as correct outputs ensure that you

hear sound tracks with the proper directionality

and intensity.

In most cases, you will not need to make any

adjustments to the output level, as the settings

made by running Ezset/EQ are as accurate as

those made manually. However, you are able to

use the

CHANNEL ADJUST menu to trim

the settings to suit your personal preferences or

to configure the system so that the output set-

tings are different from one input source to

another. The ability to make individual output

level adjustments on a per-input basis is useful

for listeners who may prefer different settings for

the subwoofer or an individual channel group

such as the front speakers when playing musical

selections via the CD input as opposed to the

movie soundtracks more frequently used with the

DVD input. This menu also allows you to adjust

the output levels using external sources such as a

test disc or other program material that you use

as a standard, rather than the system’s test tone.

NOTE: Listeners are often 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 surround channels. This

is because they are only used when a movie

director or sound mixer specifically places sound

there to create ambience, a special effect or to

continue action from the front of the room to

the rear. When the output levels are properly

set, it is normal for surround speakers to

operate only occasionally. Artificially increasing

the volume to the rear speakers may destroy the

illusion of an enveloping sound field that

duplicates the way

you hear sound in a movie

theater or concert hall.

Before beginning the output level adjustment

process, make certain that all speaker

connections have been properly made. The

system volume should be turned down at first.

To view or change the current Channel Output

settings, make certain that the

EZSET/EQ

MAIN

menu (Figure 17a) is on the screen. Press

the

⁄

Navigation Button

F to move

the cursor next to

CHANNEL ADJUST and

then press the Set Button

Q.The

CHANNEL ADJUST menu (Figure 22) will

appear on the screen.
