The AVR 125 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] If you choose the SMALL configuration and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds. When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front-left and front-right speakers, and NO low-frequency signals will be sent to the subwoofer output. L SL C R 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 125, as correct output levels will ensure that you hear sound tracks in their proper place with the LFE SR To adjust and calibrate the output levels, follow these steps. For accurate calibration, it is a good idea to make these adjustments while seated in your favorite listening position: 18 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 1. Put the AVR 125 in the Dolby Pro Logic II mode by pressing the Surround Mode Selector 7 on the front panel, or by pressing the Surround Mode Selector j on the remote, until DOLBY PRO LOGIC II­MOVIE scrolls across the Main Information Display F and the Pro Logic II Indicators D 29 light. Output level adjustment using the test tone is not available in the Stereo modes. However, in the Stereo-Digital mode, you may trim the output levels using program material, as described on page 25. TEST FL 0dB will appear in the Main Information Display F and the letters FL will flash once each second. The test noise will immediately begin to circulate among the speakers in a clockwise rotation, pausing at each position for three seconds. As the test noise rotates, the speaker position will be shown in the Main Information Display F. 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 125 off using the Main Power Switch 1 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, and listen to see which channels sound louder than the others. Using the front left (FL in the display) speaker as a reference, press the / Buttons mq on the remote or the Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel for each channel to begin to bring 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 25.
