[. . . ] Next, press the // ¤ Navigation Button o until the cursor is on the MANUAL SETUP line on the menu in use and press the Set Button q. When the MANUAL SETUP menu is shown, press the // ¤ Navigation Button o again until the cursor is on the CHANNEL ADJUST line and press the Set Button q to view the CHANNEL ADJUST menu (Figure 20). * CHANNEL ADJUST * FL : 0 dB SBR: 0 dB CEN: 0 dB SBL: 0 dB FR : 0 dB SL : 0 dB SR : 0 dB SUB: 0 dB TEST TONE : AUTO OFF MAN LEVEL RESET: OFF ON LEVEL TRIM: GLOBAL EZSET SETTINGS: OFF ON BACK TO MANUAL SETUP Figure 20 To provide the maximum flexibility, channel output level adjustments may be made either with or without the internal test tone, and when the tone is in use it may be programmed to automatically circulate among the active channels or to only move from one channel to the next on your command. When the CHANNEL ADJUST menu first appears we recommend that you always run the test tone once the automatic mode to verify that the speakers have been properly connected. To do this, press the // ¤ Navigation Button o again until the cursor is on the TEST TONE line and then press the </ > Navigation Button o until AUTO is in highlighted video. This will cause the test tone to circulate among all of the channels for five seconds at each position. As the test tone circulates, the cursor will flash and move next to each position to indicate where the tone should be coming from. If the tone is coming from a different speaker than the one indicated on the menu screen turn the AVR 635 off using the Main Power Switch A and check the speaker wiring or connections to external power amplifiers to make certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal. When you have verified that all speakers are connected to the correct output terminal, turn the AVR 635 back on and return to this menu to resume 30 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 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 o on the remote to bring all speakers to the same volume level. 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 MANUAL SETUP line, and then press the Set Button q to return to the MANUAL SETUP. 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. [. . . ] It is normal for the fan to be inactive at normal volume levels. Unit does not respond to remote commands · Weak batteries in remote · Wrong device selected · Remote sensor is obscured Intermittent buzzing in tuner · Local interference Letters flash in the channel indicator display and digital audio stops Fan does not appear to operate · Digital audio feed paused · Additional cooling may not be required In addition to the items shown above, additional information on troubleshooting possible problems with your AVR 635, or installation-related issues, may be found in the list of "Frequently Asked Questions" which is located in the Product Support section of our Web site at www. harmankardon. com. 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. If the system still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the problem. [. . . ]
