Output Level Trim Adjustment
Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 130 is
established using the test tone, as outlined on pages
18 and 19. In some cases, however, it may be desir-
able to adjust the output levels using program material
such as a test disc, or a selection you are familiar
with. Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer
can only be adjusted using this procedure.
To adjust the output levels using program material, first
set the reference volume for the front-left and front-
right channels using the
Volume Control Ù .
Once the reference level has been set, press the
Channel Select Button m and note that
FRONT L LEVEL will appear in the Lower
Display Line
¯.To adjust the front left channel
level, press the
Set Button o@ and then press
the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n to raise or lower the level as
necessary. Press the
Set Button o@ again to
enter the level into the AVR’s memory.
To adjust another channel position, press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n until the channel position name appears
in the
Lower Display Line ¯ and then repeat the
process shown above.
Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels
requiring adjustment have been set. When no further
adjustments are made for five seconds, the AVR 130
will return to normal operation.
NOTES:
• The output levels may be separately trimmed for each
digital and analog surround mode. If you wish to have
different trim levels for a specific mode, select that
mode and then follow the instructions in the steps
shown earlier.
• In Surround Off DSP mode, only the front-left,
front-right and subwoofer channels may be
trimmed. It is not possible to trim the output levels
in the Surround Off (Bypass) mode, since the digital
circuitry used for output-level trimming are not
available in that mode.
6-Channel Direct Input
The AVR 130 is equipped for use with DVD-Audio
or SACD Players, or other products that include their
own onboard digital decoders for formats that the
AVR 130 may not be capable of processing.When
connections are made to the
6-Channel Direct
Inputs
a, you may select that device by pressing
the
6-Ch Direct Input Selector .The 6-Channel
Direct input may also be selected by pressing the
Input Source Selector Button ^ on the front
panel until
6CHDIRECT appears in the Upper
Display Line
˜, and the Input Indicator ı
for 6 CH lights.
When the 6-Channel Direct input is in use, you may
not select a surround mode, as the external decoder
determines processing. In addition, there is no signal
at the record outputs when the 6-Channel Direct input
is in use.
Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory backup
system that preserves the system configuration
information and tuner presets if the unit is accidentally
unplugged or subjected to a power outage. This
memory will last for approximately four weeks, after
which time all information must be reentered.
Display Brightness
The AVR 130’s front-panel display lines and indicators
are set at a default brightness that is sufficient for
viewing in a normally lit room. However, in some
home theater installations, you may wish to occasion-
ally lower the brightness of the display or turn it off
completely.
To change the display brightness, press the Dim
Button
h. The display lines and indicators will dim
to half brightness, and then go completely off. Note
that the
Power Indicator 2 will remain lit at normal
brightness to remind you that the unit is still turned on.
Once the desired brightness level is selected, it will
remain in effect until it is changed again or until the
unit is turned off.
