The AVR 210 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] Press the front panel < / > Selector buttons 5 or the //¤ buttons mq on the remote until the desired setting is shown, using the instructions for "large" or "small" shown earlier. If the configuration for another speaker position needs to be changed, press the front panel < / > Selector buttons 5 or the //¤ buttons mq on the remote to select a different speaker position, and then press the front panel < / > Selector buttons 5 or the //¤ buttons mq on the remote until the correct speaker setting is shown. To assist in making speaker configuration settings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators P change as the speaker type is selected at each position. When only the center icon box containing the abbreviation for the speaker position is lit, the speaker is set for "small. When the inner box and the two outer " boxes with circles inside them are lit, the speaker is set for "large. When no indicator " appears at a speaker location, that position is set for "none" or "no" speaker. NOTE: These icons are available only when making setup changes in the semi-OSD mode. For example, in Figure 6, the left front and right front speakers are set for "large, " the center, left surround (LS) and right surround (RS) speakers are set for small, and a subwoofer is set, as shown by the box with the abbreviation "LFE", which stands for "low-frequency effects. 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. Adjust the volume so that it is at -15, as shown in the on-screen display or Main Information Display X. Hold the remote in front of you at arm's length, being sure not to cover the EzSet Sensor Microphone 39 at the top of the remote. Release the button when the Program/SPL Indicator c stops flashing and you hear the test noise from the front left speaker. At this point, the EzSet circuitry will take over, adjusting the output level of each channel so that when the process is complete all levels will be equal and at the set reference point. This process may take a few minutes, depending on the extent of adjustment required. During the adjustment you will see the location of the channel position being adjusted appear in both the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display X, alternating with a readout of the output setting, relative to the reference volume level. As the adjustment proceeds, a few things will happen simultaneously: · The channel position being adjusted will flash in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators P. 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 h TWICE to stop the adjustment. Then, turn the unit off and verify that all speakers are connected to the proper Outputs >fi. · When the front left channel is being set at the beginning of the process, EzSet will adjust the main volume level, as shown by the indication of the FRONT L LEV alternating in the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display X with the volume indication. During the adjustment, the test tone may seem to pulse, or click, as EzSet changes L C R LS Figure 6 LFE RS Output Level Adjustment Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration process for any surround-sound product. It is particularly important for a Dolby Digital receiver such as the AVR 210, as correct outputs will ensure that you hear sound tracks with the proper directionality and intensity. [. . . ] Press the Input Selector e you wish to reassign and the Mute button 38 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e and the Program/ SPL Indicator c flashes amber.
