The AVR 132 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie sound tracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] IMPORTANT NOTE: The output level can be adjusted for each digital and analog surround mode separately. This allows you to compensate for level differences between speakers, that may also vary with the surround mode selected, or to increase or decrease the level of certain speakers intentionally, depending on the surround mode selected. Note that adjustments made for any surround mode are effective with all inputs associated with that surround mode. Before beginning the output level adjustment process, make certain that all speaker connections have been properly made. 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 F. For accurate calibration, it is a good idea to make these adjustments while seated in your favorite listening position. As the adjustment must be made for each surround mode, it is best to select any input associated with any Dolby Pro Logic II mode, make the adjustment for that surround mode, then step through all inputs you´re using (and thus through all surround modes associated with the inputs) and repeat the adjustment when any surround mode appears that has not yet been adjusted. Select any input associated with any Dolby Pro Logic II surround mode by pressing the Input Source Selector A 4 until the Pro Logic II Surround Mode Indicator D on the frontdisplay lights up. The words TEST-T F L 0DB will appear in the Main Information Display F. The test noise will immediately begin to circulate in the speakers in a clockwise rotation, pausing at each position for two seconds. As the test noise rotates the speaker positions FL, C, FR, SR, SL (Front Left, Center, Front Right, Surround Right, Surround Left) will be shown in the Main Information Display F. As an added assist, while the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/Channel Indicators 5 by a blinking letter within the correct channel. Turn up the volume now until you can hear the noise clearly. Night mode will not function. MID: When MID is shown in the display, a mild compression will be applied. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 19 ENGLISH System Configuration IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this test noise will have a much lower level than normal music, the volume must be lowered after the adjustment for all channels is made, BEFORE you turn the test tone off. NOTE: This is a good time to verify that the speakers have been properly connected. As the test noise circulates, listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the Main Information Display. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, turn the AVR off using the Main Power Switch 0 and check the speaker wiring to make certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal. After checking for speaker placement, let the test noise circulate again, and listen to see which channels sound louder than the others. Using the front left speaker as a reference, press the K/L buttons C on the remote to bring all speakers to the same volume level. Note that when one of the K/L 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 five seconds. Continue to adjust the individual speakers until they all have the same volume. [. . . ] When the Program Indicator 2 goes out, the remote has been reset to the factory settings. Transport Control Punch-Through The AVR's remote may be programmed to operate so that the Transport Control Functions L (Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in conjunction with one of the other devices controlled by the remote. For example, while using and controlling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your VCR or DVD without having to change the device selected by the AVR or the remote. To program the remote for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow these steps: 1. Press the Input Selector 4 for the device you wish to have the transport control associated with and the Mute button X at the same time until the red light illuminates, under the Input Selector 4 and the Program Indicator 2 flashes orange.
