6. During the adjustment, you will see the location of
the channel position being adjusted appear in the
on-screen display (if connected) and in the
Lower Display Line ¯, alternating with a read-
out of the output setting, relative to the reference
volume level, and in the
Speaker/Channel Input
Indicators
ˆ where the letters for the channel
being adjusted will flash to indicate the channel
from which the test tone should be heard. As the
adjustment proceeds, a few things will happen
simultaneously:
• The channel position being adjusted will flash in
the
Speaker/Channel Input Indicators ˆ.
If the test noise is heard from a channel other
than the one shown in the indicator, there is an
error in the speaker connections. If this is the
case, press the
Test Button i TWICE to
stop the adjustment. Then, turn the unit off and
verify that all speakers are connected to the
proper
Outputs ª‚⁄¤.
As the individual channels are set, the channel
name and the adjustment offset will appear in
the on-screen display (if connected) and the
Lower Display Line ¯. While the level is
changing, the
Program/SPL Indicator c will
change colors to reflect the output level in rela-
tion to the reference. A red indication shows
that the level is too high, while an amber indica-
tion shows that the level is too low. When the
indicator is green, the level is correct, and the
test noise will move to the next channel.
While adjustments are being made, the red LED
under the
AVR Selector f will flash. This is
normal, and indicates that EzSet is operating.
7. After the test noise has circulated once through
each channel, it will send the tone to each chan-
nel once again, to verify the settings.
8. After two complete circulations of the tone, the
levels are set. The
Program/SPL Indicator c
will remain green at each channel. Upon comple-
tion of the second circulation, the
Program/SPL
Indicator
c will flash green twice and then go
out. The tone will stop and the AVR 230 will
return to normal operation.
If you find that the output levels chosen by EzSet are
either uncomfortably low or high, you may repeat the
procedure. Return to Step 2 and adjust the master
volume either slightly higher or lower to accommodate
your particular room layout and your tastes. You may
repeat this procedure as many times as necessary to
achieve a desired result. In order to prevent possible
damage to your hearing or your equipment, we
emphasize that you should avoid setting the master
volume above 0dB.
NOTE: The subwoofer output is not adjusted when the
test tone is in use. To adjust the subwoofer output you
must use an external source, following the instructions
on page 29.
Manual Output Level Adjustment
Output levels may also be adjusted manually, either to
set them to a specific level with an SPL meter, or to
make fine-tuning adjustments to the levels obtained
using the EzSet remote.
Figure 8
Manual output level adjustment is most easily done
through the
CHANNEL ADJUST menu
(Figure 8). If you are already at the
MASTER
MENU
, press the
¤
Button n until the on-
screen
cursor is next to the CHANNEL
ADJUST
line. If you are not at the MASTER
MENU
, press the OSD Button v to bring up the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then press the
¤
Button n until the on-screen
cursor is next
to the
CHANNEL ADJUST line. Press the Set
Button
p to bring the CHANNEL ADJUST
menu (Figure 8) to the screen.
