Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR 5550 is truly a multichannel receiver for the new millennium. [. . . ] However, 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 - 1 5, as shown in the on-screen display or Main Information Display ~. Select any input associated with the surround mode for which you want to adjust the output levels. Remember that the same adjustments must be made with all other surround modes you´ve in use. Hold the remote in front of you, being sure not to cover the EzSet Sensor Microphone h at the top of the remote and aim it at the AVR 5550, don´t hold it vertically (like a microphone). Release it when the Program/SPL Indicator 2 stops flashing and remains lit. Press the 5 Button H on the remote if your system is configured for 5. 1 operation with standard speakers or when it is configured for 7. 1 operation but the surround back speakers are not in use with the surround mode currently selected. Press the 7 Button H on the remote only if your system is configured for 6. 1/7. 1 operation with a full speaker complement including rear surround speakers and the surround back speakers are in use with the surround mode selected. Note that all speakers currently in use always are indicated by the Speaker/Channel Indicators E in the front panel display. Once the correct channel configuration button has been pressed the test noise will be heard from the front left speaker. At this point, EzSet 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. During the adjustment, you will see the location of the channel position being adjusted appear in the on-screen display (if connected) and in the Main Information Display ~, alternating with 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 flash in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators E. If the test noise is heard from a channel other than the one shown in the Indicator, the on-screen display or the front panel display, 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 DEFc. · As the individual channels are set, the channel name and the adjustment offset will appear in the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display ~. 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 orange 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. [. . . ] 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.
