The AVR 3500 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie sound tracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] As the adjustment proceeds, a few things will happen simultaneously: · The channel position being adjusted will also flash in the Speaker/Channel Position 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 8 TWICE to stop the adjustment. Then, turn the unit off and verify that all speakers are connected to the proper Outputs DE. · When the front left channel is being set at the beginning of the process, EzSet will adjust its offset level, as shown by the indication of the F L in the on-screen display and the Main Information Display N in front of the offset level indication. During the adjustment, the test tone may seem to pulse, or click, as EzSet changes the level. · As the other channels are set, the channel name and the adjustment offset will appear in the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display N. While the level is changing, the Program/SPL Indicator 2 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 noise will move to the next channel. · While adjustments are being made, the red LED under the AVR Selector 5 will flash. After the test noise has circulated once through each channel, it will circulate once again to finally indicated the offset level of each channel. Upon completion of the channel adjustment, the AVR Selector 5 will flash twice and then go out. Manual Output Level Adjustment Output levels may also be adjusted manually, either to set them to a specific level with an SPL meter, or to make fine tuning adjustments to the levels obtained using the EzSet remote. Manual output level adjustment is most easily done through the OUTPUT ADJUST menu (Figure 7). If you are already at the main menu, press the ¤ buttons D until the onscreen > cursor is next to the OUTPUT ADJUST line. If you are not at the main menu, press the OSD button L to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then press the ¤ buttons D three times so that the on-screen > cursor is next to the Output adjust line. Press the Set button F to bring the OUTPUT ADJUST menu (Figure 7) to the screen. * F C F S S R R E R U U E OUTPUT O N O R R T N T N R R U T L ER T R RI LE RN ADJUST : : : : : EN 0 0 0 0 0 U d d d d d B B B B B * Continue to adjust the individual speakers until they all have the same volume. Note that adjustments should be made with the </> buttons EU on the remote only, NOT the main volume controls. You may also adjust the output levels manually while using the level indication feature of the EzSet remote. To activate the sensor and indicator, simply press and release the SPL Indicator Select button Z on the remote while the test tone is circulating. Adjust the level as outlined above until the LED lights green for all channels. [. . . ] The red LED under the Input Selector 4 will go out and the Program/SPL Indicator 2 will stop flashing and turn green. The Program/SPL Indicator 2 will remain green until the remote is reset. Note that this may take a while, depending on how many commands are in the memory and need to be erased. When the Program/SPL Indicator 2 goes out, the remote has been reset to the factory settings.
