Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR 520 is truly a multichannel receiver for the new millenium. [. . . ] To set the delay time for a specific input, the DELAY ADJUST menu (Figure 6) should be visible on your on-screen display. If the system is not already at that point, press the OSD Button v to bring up the MASTER MENU, press the > Button n three times or until the on-screen > cursor is pointing at the DELAY ADJUST line. Press the Set Button p to call up the menu. 23 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration 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. Finally, make certain that the Balance Control Ò is set to the center "12 o'clock" position. Using EzSet Harman Kardon's exclusive EzSet remote makes it possible to quickly and accurately set the AVR 520's output levels without the use of a sound pressure meter, although manual adjustment is also available. However, for the easiest set-up, follow these steps while seated in the listening position that will be used most often: 1. 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 Y. Hold the remote in front of you at arm's length, being sure not to cover the EzSet Sensor Microphone 44 at the top of the remote. Release it when the Program/SPL Indicator c stops flashing and and remains lit. Within five seconds, press the 5 Button r on the remote if your system is configured for 5. 1 operation with standard speakers or the 7 Button r on the remote if your system is configured for 6. 1/7. 1 operation with a full speaker complement including rear surround speakers. Once the correct channel configuration button has been pressed the test noise will be heard from the front left speaker. At this point, EzSet 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 the on-screen display (if connected) in the Main Information Display Y, alternating with a readout of the output setting, relative to the reference volume level, and in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Q where the letters for the channel being adjusted will flash to indicate from which channel the test tone should be heard. As the adjustment proceeds, a few things will happen simultaneously: · The channel position being adjusted will flash in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Q. 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 i TWICE to stop the adjustment. Then, turn the unit off and verify that all speakers are connected to the proper Outputs nop and that any connections made to rear surround speakers powered by optional amplifiers through the Preamp Outputs 38 are correct. · As the individual channels are set, the channel name and the adjustment offset will appear in the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display Y. While the level is changing, the Program/SPL Indicator c will change colors to reflect the output level in relation to the reference.
