SYSTEM CONFIGURATION NOTE: The subwoofer level is not adjustable when the normal test tone is in use. The subwoofer output level may be adjusted when the channel levels are being trimmed to an external program source rather than the test tone, as shown on page 42. Using the Semi-OSD System The output levels may also be adjusted at any time using the remote control and semi-OSD system. To adjust the output levels in this fashion, press the Test Button i. 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 Lower Display Line Q. While the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators O by a blinking letter within the correct channel. To adjust the output level, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons n 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 5 seconds. When all channels have the same output level, press the Test Button i again to complete the process. If you find that the output levels are either uncomfortably low or high, you may repeat the procedure, but first adjust the master volume either slightly higher or lower (but not higher than 0dB) to compensate. Do not adjust the volume during the procedure, as that will cause the output levels to be higher or lower for only some channels, resulting in uneven balance. NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available for the VMAx or Surround Off modes. Additional Input Adjustments After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode, digital input (if any) and speaker type, go back to the INPUT 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 will automatically be carried over when the previously configured surround modes are selected. However, you will need to reenter the delay and output level settings for each surround mode. When all settings and adjustments have been made, press the OSD Button v to return to normal operation of the AVR. Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR 340 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 44-45 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. At this time, we recommend that you enter your system's settings into the worksheet provided on page 66 so that you may easily reenter the data in the event of a power loss or for some other reason. Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR 340, you are about to experience the finest in music and home theater listening. Enjoy! SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 33
