When the delay time for all speaker positions has
been set you may return to the master menu by
pressing the

until the ➞ cursor is pointing to BACKTO
MASTERMENU and then pressing the Set
Button
F
.
However, if you have a digital video source or a
digital video display that causes lack of lip sync
you may use the A/V Sync adjust feature to delay
the audio signal as it is sent to all channels (as
opposed to the individual settings) so that the
picture and sound are brought back together.We
recommend that this adjustment be made using
the direct access controls on the remote, as
shown below. That enables you to see the image
while making the adjustment; however, you may
also adjust it here using the menu system.
To adjust the A/V Sync delay, press the

matches the on-screen video.
The delay settings may be adjusted at any time
using the remote control and while viewing an

.The A/V Sync Delay setting is first,
and it may be adjusted by pressing the Set

brings the video and sound back in sync. Press
the Set Button

again to enter the setting.
Note that the A/V Sync delay setting is unique to
each video input source, so you may enter a
different setting to compensate for the differ-
ences between any product attached to the
Video 1, 2 or 3 inputs.

Output Level Adjustment
Output level adjustment is a key part of the
configuration of any surround-sound product. It is
particularly important for a digital receiver such
as the AVR, as correct outputs ensure that you
hear sound tracks with the proper directionality
and intensity.
NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the
operation of the surround channels. While some
assume that sound should always be coming
from each speaker, most of the time there will be
little or no sound in the surround channels.
This is because they are only used when a movie
director or sound mixer specifically places sound
there to create ambience, a special effect or to
continue action from the front of the room to the
rear. When the output levels are properly set, it
is normal for surround speakers to operate only
occasionally.
Artificially increasing the volume to the rear
speakers may destroy the illusion of an
enveloping sound field that duplicates the way
you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall.
If you have already calibrated your system using
EzSet/EQ the output level adjustments shown will
reflect the results of the measurements made by
EzSet/EQ. No further changes are needed unless
you wish to change a specific item to reflect your
personal taste or a non-standard system
configuration.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The output level can be
adjusted for each digital and analog surround
mode individually. This allows you to compensate
for level differences between speakers, that may
also vary with the surround mode selected, or to
increase or decrease the level of certain speakers
intentionally, depending on the surround mode
selected. Note that adjustments made for any
surround mode are effective with all inputs
associated with the same surround mode.
Before beginning the output level adjustment
process, make certain that all speaker connec-
tions have been properly made. 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.
2. Adjust the volume so that it is at
-15,as
shown in the on-screen display or Main
Information Display
Ò
.
3. Select any input associated with the surround
mode for which you want to adjust the output
levels. Remember that the same adjustments
must be made with all other surround modes
you´ve in use.
4. Manual output level adjustment is most easily
done through the
CHANNELADJUST
menu (Figure 12). If you are already at the
main menu, press the
¤
Button
D
until the
on-screen ➞ cursor is next to the
MANUAL
SETUPline. If you are not at the main menu,
press the OSD Button v to bring up the
MASTERMENU (Figure 1), and then press
the
¤
Button
D
three times so that the on-
screen ➞ cursor is next to the
MANUAL
SETUPline. Press the Set Button
F
to
bring the
MANUALSETUP menu (Figure 8)
to the screen, and then scroll down until the
➞ cursor is pointing at the
CHANNEL
ADJUSTline and press the Set Button
F
.
Figure 12
When the CHANNELADJUST menu first
appears, the test tone is off. Use the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button
D
to select any channel
for adjustment using an external source, such as
a test disc, from which to judge the output levels.
After the ➞ cursor is pointing to the channel to
be adjusted, press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button
Ea
to raise or lower the output level.
However, before proceeding with any manual
adjustment we recommend that you first use the
AVR’s internal test tone generator and automatic
sequencer to send a tone to each channel so that
you may verify that all speaker connections have
been properly made.
