[. . . ] To change the setting, first make sure that the onscreen cursor is pointing to FL, and press the < / > Navigation Button n© until the distance from the center speaker to the preferred listening position is entered. Next, press the ¤ Navigation Button n© to move the cursor to the next line and use the < / > Navigation Button n© again to enter the distance from the main listening position to the center speaker. Repeat the procedure for all active SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 31 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION Before beginning the output level adjustment process, make certain that all speaker connections have been properly made. The system volume should be set to the level that you will use during a typical listening session. We recommend that EzSet/EQ be used when the AVR is first installed to establish the initial level settings. To make changes to the channel output settings, go to the CHANNEL ADJUST submenu within the EZSET/EQ MANUAL SETUP menu (Figure 17). To do this, first press the OSD Button U so that the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. Next, press the // ¤ Navigation Button n© until the cursor is on the EZSET/EQ line, and press the Set Button poe. Navigate to EZSET/EQ MANUAL SETUP and press the Set Button poe. In the EZSET/EQ MANUAL SETUP menu, press the // ¤ Navigation Button n© again until the cursor is on the CHANNEL ADJUST line; then press the Set Button poe to view the CHANNEL ADJUST menu (Figure 21). * CHANNEL ADJUST * FL : 0dB SBR: 0dB CEN: 0dB SBL: 0dB FR : 0dB SL : 0dB SR : 0dB SUB: 0dB TEST TONE : AUTO OFF MAN LEVEL RESET: OFF ON CH ADJUST: GLOBAL EZSET SETTINGS: OFF ON BACK TO MANUAL SETUP AVR 445 back on and return to this menu to resume the channel adjustment procedure. If any speaker connections were changed we also recommend that you rerun EzSet/EQ before making any manual calibration adjustments. 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 </> Navigation Button n© on the remote to bring all speakers to the same volume level. When the </> Navigation Button n© 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 </> Navigation Button n© on the remote control only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are using a soundpressure level (SPL) meter for precise level adjustment, set the volume so that the meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting Slow. When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. To exit this menu, press the //¤ Navigation Button n© until the cursor is next to the BACK TO MANUAL SETUP line, and then press the Set Button poe to return to the EZSET/EQ MANUAL SETUP menu. In addition to having the test tone circulate automatically, you may also turn the test tone on, but advance it from one channel to the next manually. This allows you to make calibration adjustments, but to have more control over the way the test tone is moved among the channels.
