The AVR 3550 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie sound tracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] Listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the Main Information Display N, while the speaker names are displayed one after another as shown in the Output Adjust Menu, see figure 7 on the next page. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated, turn the AVR 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. At the end of that pre-test turn the test tone off by pressing the Test button 8 again. Hold the remote in front of you at half arm's length, making sure not to cover the EzSet Sensor Microphone 7 at the top of the remote and aim it at the AVR, not vertically (like you'd do with a microphone). Release the button when the Program/SPL Indicator 2 stops flashing and you hear the test noise from the front left speaker. At this point, the EzSet circuitry 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. 22 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration 8. During the adjustment you will see the location of the channel position being adjusted appear in both the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display N, in front of a readout of the output setting, relative to the reference volume level. 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. [. . . ] 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.
