24 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
System Configuration
Continue to adjust the individual speakers until
they all have the same volume. Note that adjust-
ments should be made with the
‹/› buttons
EU
on the remote only, NOT the main vol-
ume controls.
You may also adjust the output levels manually
while using the level indication feature of the
EzSet remote. To activate the sensor and indica-
tor, simply press and release the SPL Indicator
Select button
Z
on the remote while the test
tone is circulating.The Program/SPL Indicator
2
will change color to indicate the level.
Because the remote functions as level sensor, in
that case all further adjustments can be made
with the front panel buttons only, with help of
an assisting person.Adjust the level using the
‹/› buttons
5
on the front panel until the LED
lights green for all channels. When it is red the
level is too high; when it is amber the level is
too low. Press the SPL Indicator Select
Z
button when you are finished to turn the sensor
and Indicator off.
NOTE: The subwoofer output level is not
adjustable using the test tone. To change the
subwoofer level, follow the steps for Output
Level Trim Adjustment on page 30.
When all channels have an equal volume level,
the adjustment is complete. Now turn the
Volume
(
X
down to about -40dB, other-
wise the listening level may be too high as soon
as the source’s music starts to play. To exit this
menu, press the
⁄/¤ buttons
D
until the on-
screen
› cursor is next to the RETURNTO
MENUline, and then press the Set button
F
to turn the test tone off and return to the
MASTER MENU.
The output levels may also be adjusted at any
time using the discrete buttons and semi-OSD
system.To adjust the output levels in this fash-
ion, press the Test Tone Selector

.As
soon as the button is pressed, the test tone will
begin to circulate as indicated earlier.The correct
channel from which the test noise should be
heard will be shown in the lower third of the
video screen and in the Main Information
Display

.As an added assist, while the test
noise is circulating, the proper channel position
will also be indicated in the Speaker/Channel
Indicators

by a blinking letter within the
correct channel.Turn up the Volume

until you can hear the noise clearly.
To adjust the output level, press the Selector
buttons on the front panel

or the ‹/› but-
tons
EU
until the desired level is shown in
the display or on screen. Once the buttons are
released, the test noise will begin to circulate
again in five seconds.
When all channels have the same output level,
turn the Volume
(
X
down to about -40dB,
otherwise the listening level may be too high as
soon as the source’s music starts to play. After-
wards press the Test Tone Selector

button again to turn the test tone off and com-
plete the process.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Output level adjust-
ment made will be effective for all inputs, but
only for the actual surround mode selected.To
be effective for any other mode select that mode
(with any input) and repeat the level adjustment
described above. This will also allow you to com-
pensate level differences between speakers, that
may be different with each surround mode, or to
increase or decrease the level of certain speakers
intentionally, depending on the surround mode
selected.
Note: Output level adjustment is not available
for the VMAx or Surround Off mode, as no sur-
round speakers are used (so level differences
between the speakers in the room cannot
occur). But to compensate level differences
between stereo, VMAx and other surround
modes (independently from the input selected)
the outputs can be adjusted with the Level Trim
Adjustment procedure, see page 30, also for the
Surround Off (Stereo) and VMAx modes.
Once the settings outlined on the previous
pages have been made, the AVR 3000 is ready
for operation.While there are some additional
settings to be made, these are best done after
you have had an opportunity to listen to a
variety of sources and different kinds of program
material. These advanced settings are described
on pages 34-35 of this manual. In addition, any
of the settings made in the initial configuration
of the unit may be changed at any time.
As you add new or different sources or speakers,
or if you wish to change a setting to better
reflect your listening taste, simply follow the
instructions for changing the settings for that
parameter as shown above. Note that any
settings changed at any time, also when the
discrete buttons are used only, will be stored in
memory in the AVR3000, also if it´s turned off
completely, unless it will be reset (see page 48).
The settings will either depend on the input
(Speaker configuration, analog/digital input
selection, surround mode) or on the surround
mode selected (speaker output level), as
described on previous pages.
Having completed the setup and configuration
process for your AVR 3000, you are about to
experience the finest in music and home theater
listening. Enjoy!
