SYSTEM CONFIGURATION To enter individual settings for a specific channel, first make sure that you have either run EzSet/EQ and/or made any desired manual trim adjustments to set a baseline for all channels. After that is done, press the OSD Button U∫ to exit the menu system and then select the input for which you wish to enter different level settings by using either the Input Source Selector 7 on the front panel or the buttons on the remote that are used to select an input source deXh Next, return to the CHANNEL ADJUST submenu using the steps outlined above. At the CHANNEL ADJUST menu, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button n© until the cursor is pointing to the CH ADJUST line and then press the ‹/› Navigation Button n© once so that INDEPENDENT appears in highlighted video. When this setting is active you may change the channel output levels for any input without changing the settings previously established for another. NOTE: With the default GLOBAL setting, output levels are associated with the various surround modes. As you spend time listening to various materials and selecting a variety of surround modes, you may wish to revisit the CHANNEL ADJUST menu to set the output levels. When all changes to the Channel Output levels and the associated level trim settings have been made, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button n© until the cursor is on the BACK TO MANUAL SETUP menu and then pressing the Set Button pœ so that you may make any other adjustments to the system parameters. If the changes just made complete the manual adjustments needed, press the OSD Button U∫ to exit the menu system and resume normal system operation. Additional Input Adjustments After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and output levels, go back to the IN/OUT SETUP line on the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) and enter the settings for each input that you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode will be different from one input to the next, while the speaker type, crossover frequency, Night mode and output level settings will usually be the same and may be quickly entered by entering the same data used for the original input. Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR 445 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 pro- gram material. These advanced settings are described on pages 42 and 43 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 in this section. Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR 445, you are about to experience the finest in music and home theater listening. Enjoy! SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 33
