The AVR 132 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie sound tracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] The system volume should be turned down at first. For the easiest set-up, follow these steps while seated in the listening position that will be used most often: 1. Make certain that all speaker positions have been properly configured for their "large" or "small" settings (as outlined above) and turn off the OSD system if it is in use. Adjust the volume so that it is at -15, as shown in the on-screen display or Main Information Display F. To adjust and calibrate the output levels, follow these steps. For accurate calibration, it is a good idea to make these adjustments while seated in your favorite listening position. As the adjustment must be made for each surround mode, it is best to select any input associated with any Dolby Pro Logic II mode, make the adjustment for that surround mode, then step through all inputs you´re using (and thus through all surround modes associated with the inputs) and repeat the adjustment when any surround mode appears that has not yet been adjusted. Select any input associated with any Dolby Pro Logic II surround mode by pressing the Input Source Selector A 4 until the Pro Logic II Surround Mode Indicator D on the frontdisplay lights up. Press the Test Tone button 7 on the remote. The words TEST-T F L 0DB will appear in the Main Information Display F. The test noise will immediately begin to circulate in the speakers in a clockwise rotation, pausing at each position for two seconds. As the test noise rotates the speaker positions FL, C, FR, SR, SL (Front Left, Center, Front Right, Surround Right, Surround Left) will be shown in the Main Information Display F. As an added assist, while the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/Channel Indicators 5 by a blinking letter within the correct channel. Turn up the volume now until you can hear the noise clearly. Night mode will not function. MID: When MID is shown in the display, a mild compression will be applied. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 19 ENGLISH System Configuration IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this test noise will have a much lower level than normal music, the volume must be lowered after the adjustment for all channels is made, BEFORE you turn the test tone off. NOTE: This is a good time to verify that the speakers have been properly connected. As the test noise circulates, listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the Main Information Display. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, turn the AVR off using the Main Power Switch 0 and check the speaker wiring to make certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal. 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 K/L buttons C on the remote to bring all speakers to the same volume level. Note that when one of the K/L buttons 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 speakers until they all have the same volume. [. . . ] For example, while using and controlling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a cable box or satellite receiver without having to change the device selected by the AVR or the remote. To program the remote for Channel Control PunchThrough, follow these steps: PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 31 Function List No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 Button Name Power On Power Off Mute AVR DVD CD Tape VID 1 VID 2 VID 3 DIM AM/FM 6 CH Input Select Sleep Test TV Volume Up Surround Select Night Spare Volume Down Channel/Guide K AVR Function Power On Power Off Mute AVR Select DVD Input Select CD Input Select Tape Input Select Video 1 Select Video 2 Select Video 3 Select DIM Tuner Select 6 CH Input Selector Sleep Test Tone Volume Up Surround Mode Select Night Mode Select Volume Down Channel Trim Move/Adjust Up Speaker Adjust Set Digital Input Select Move/Adjust Down Delay Adjust 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Tuner Mode 9 0 Memory Tune Up Direct Tuner Entry Clear Preset Tune Up Tune Down RDS Select Preset Tune Down DVD Power On Power Off CD/CDR Power On Power Off DVD Select CD Select TV/DVD Volume Up Subtitle on/off Volume Down Title Up Menu Left Enter Right Open/Close Down Return 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Chapter 9 0 Audio Angle Clear Slow Forward -/Input Select -/CDP Select -/CDR Select Speaker/Menu A Intro/- Set B Digital/Exit L 48 51 55 58 61 63 66 64 67 52 56 59 49 53 50 54 57 60 62 65 68 Delay/Prev. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Tun-M 9 0 Memory Tune Up Direct Clear Preset Up Tune Down Tone Mode RDS Preset Down M1 M2 M3 M4 Dolby DTS Sur DTS Neo:6 Night Logic 7 Stereo Skip Down Skip Up Rewind Play Fast Forward Record Stop Pause Open/Close 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Repeat 9 0 Time/CDR Display Random Clear +10/-/Track Increment Disc Skip Disc Skip Slow Rev Dolby Mode Select DTS 5. 1 Select DTS Neo:6 Select Night Mode Select Logic 7 Select Stereo Select Skip ­ Skip + R.
