The AVR 220 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] Adjust the volume so that it is at -15dB, as shown in the on-screen display or Main Information Display S. 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 process, 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 S, 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 L. 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. · As each channel is set, the channel name and the adjustment offset will appear in the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display S. While the level is changing, the Program/SPL Indicator c will change colors to reflect the output level in relation to the reference. A red indication shows that the level is too high, while an amber indication shows that the level is too low. When the indicator is green, the level is correct, and the test L SL Figure 6 C NIGHT R LFE SR 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 220, as correct outputs will ensure that you hear sound tracks with the proper directionality and intensity. IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the surround channels. While some assume that sound should always be coming from each speaker, most of the time there will be little or no sound in the surround channels. This is because they are only used when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound there to create ambience, a special effect or to continue action from the front of the room to the rear. When the output levels are properly set it is normal for surround speakers to operate only occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of an enveloping sound field that duplicates the way you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall. Before beginning the output level adjustment process, make certain that all speaker connections have been properly made. The system volume should be set to the level that you will use during a typical listening session.
