The AVR 110 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] 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. For example, in the following figure, 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. " 18 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration them to the same level. Note that when one of the buttons is pushed, the test noise circulation will pause on the channel being adjusted to give you time to make the adjustment. When you release the button, the circulation will resume after 15 seconds. Continue to adjust the individual speakers until they all have the same volume. Note that adjustments should be made with the / / ¤ buttons mq on the remote or the Selector buttons 5 on the front panel only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are using a sound pressure (SPL) meter for precise level adjustment, set the volume so that the meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting Slow. NOTE: The subwoofer output level is not adjustable using the test tone. To change the subwoofer level, follow the steps for Output Level Trim Adjustment on page 26. When you have adjusted the outputs so that all channels have the same level, press the Test button h on the remote to complete the adjustment. Delay Settings Due the different distances between the frontchannel speakers and the listening position compared to the surround speakers and the listening position, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or surround speakers is different. You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing to tailor the specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater. The factory setting is appropriate for most rooms, but some installations create an uncommon distance between the front and surround speakers that may cause the arrival of frontchannel sounds to become disconnected from surround-channel sounds. To resynchronize the front and surround channels, follow these steps: 1. Measure the distance from the listening/ viewing position to the front speakers. Measure the distance from the listening/ viewing position to the surround speakers. Subtract the distance to the surround speakers from the distance to the front speakers. When setting the delay time for the Dolby Digital surround modes, the optimal delay time is the result of that subtraction. For example, if the front speakers are ten feet away and the surround speakers are five feet away, the optimal delay time is figured as 10­5=5.
