Typographical Conventions In order to help you use this manual with the remote control, front-panel controls and rear-panel connections, certain conventions have been used. [. . . ] When the </> Navigation Button 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 </> Navigation Button o on the remote only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are using a sound-pressure 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 o until the cursor is next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line, and then press the Set Button q to return to the MASTER 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. To change the tone manually, first make certain that the CHANNEL ADJUST menu is on the screen, following the instructions shown above, and then press the until the cursor is on the TEST TONE line. Next, press the </> Navigation Button o until MAN is in highlighted video. This will start the test tone from the front left speaker position, but rather than circulating to the next channel every five seconds, as is the case in the automatic mode, the you must press the //¤ Navigation Button o to change the channel the test tone is being sent to. When you have circulated through all channels the test tone will stop, but you may restart it by returning to the TEST TONE line again and activating manual sequencing. The final option for tone adjustment using the menu system is to not use the internal test tone at all. To do this, simply use the //¤ Navigation Buttons o to change the channel and then use the </> Navigation Buttons o to change the output level. When making channel output adjustments without the internal test tone we strongly recommend that you use a test disc in the "repeat" mode on your DVD or CD player so that the signal being used is constant throughout the adjustment process. 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 f. 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 @ by a blinking letter within the correct channel. To adjust the output level, press the //¤ Navigation Button o until the desired level is shown in the display or on screen. [. . . ] These settings are not lost when the batteries are changed quickly.

Processor Reset In the rare case where the unit's operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the system's memory or microprocessor. To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least 3 minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power cord and check the unit's operation. [. . . ]
