Output Level Trim Adjustment
Normal output level adjustment for the
AVR5 is established using the Test Tone,
as outlined on page 16. In some cases,
however, it may be desirable to adjust the
output levels using program material
such as a test disc, or a selection you are
familiar with. Additionally, the output
level for the subwoofer may only be
adjusted using this procedure.
To adjust the output levels using pro-
gram material, first select the Pro Logic
mode using the Pro Logic Selector
*
on the front panel or the Surround/
Channel buttons on the remote. Next
set the reference volume for the front
left/right channels using the Volume
Control
Úµ
. If you wish
to vary the difference between the left
and right channels, use the Balance
Control 9.
Once the reference level has been set,
press the Channel Select button
ı
:
and note that FLT0will appear
in the Information Display ¯. To
change the level, first press the Set but-
ton Û}within five seconds, and
then use the Selector buttons
˜
or the
‹
/
›
buttons
{
to raise or lower the
level. DO NOT use the volume control, as
this will alter the reference setting.
Once the change has been made, press
the Set button Û}and then press
the Channel Select button
ı:
to
select the next output channel location
that you wish to adjust. To adjust the sub-
woofer level, press the Channel Select
button
ı:
until SUBW appears in
the Information Display ¯.
Repeat the procedure as needed until all
channels requiring adjustment have
been set. When all adjustments have
been made, the AVR5 will return to nor-
mal operation when no adjustments are
made for five seconds.
Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory
backup system that preserves tuner pre-
sets and system configuration informa-
tion if the unit is accidentally unplugged
or subject to a power outage.
Processor Reset
In the rare case where the unit’s opera-
tion 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 three 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.
If the system still does not respond, it
may be necessary to perform a complete
reset. To reset the system, first turn the
AVR5 off by pressing the Main Power
Switch 1 and then releasing it so that
it extends out beyond the front panel and
the word “OFF” is visible in red lettering
at the top of the switch.
Next, press and hold the T•Mon and CD
Input Selector buttons ! on the front
panel ONLY. While holding these buttons
in, press the Main Power Switch 1 in
until it latches so that the button is flush
with the front panel.
The Information Display will briefly
show the word RESET, and then return
to normal operation.
Note that when the system is reset in this
fashion, all tuner presets and other con-
figuration information such as center
channel speaker type and output levels
will be lost and must be re-entered.
If the system is still operating incorrectly,
there may have been an electronic
discharge or severe AC line interference
that has corrupted the memory or
microprocessor.
If these steps do not solve the problem,
consult an authorized Harman Kardon
service depot.
