25 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
System Configuration
Continue to adjust the individual channels until
the volume level sounds the same from each
speaker. Note that adjustments should be made
with the
‹
/
›
buttons o on the remote
only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are
using a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter for
precise level adjustment, set the volume so that
the meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting Slow.
You may also adjust the output levels manually
while using the level indication feature of the
EzSet remote. To activate the sensor and indica-
tor, simply press and release the
SPL Indicator
Select
button on the remote while the
test tone is circulating. The
Program/SPL
Indicator
c will change color to indicate the
level. Adjust the level using the
‹
/
›
buttons
o until the LED lights green for all chan-
nels. When it is red, the level is too high; when
it is amber, the level is too low. Press the
SPL
Indicator Select
button when you are
finished to turn the sensor and Indicator off.
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 31.
When all channels have an equal volume level,
the adjustment is complete. To exit this menu,
press the
⁄
/
¤
buttons n until the on-screen
›
cursor is next to the RETURN TO
MENU
line, and then press the Set button
p to return to the MASTER MENU.
The output levels may also be adjusted at any
time using the discrete buttons and semi-OSD
system. To adjust the output levels in this fash-
ion, press the
Test Tone Selector ˆi.As
soon as the button is pressed, the test tone will
begin to circulate as indicated earlier. The cor-
rect channel from which the test noise should
be heard will be shown in the lower third of
the video screen and in the
Main
Information Display
Y. While the test noise
is circulating, the proper channel position will
also be indicated in the
Speaker/Channel
Input Indicators
Q by a blinking letter
within the correct channel.
To adjust the output level, press the
Selector
buttons 5 on the front panel or the
‹
/
›
buttons o until the desired level is
shown in the display or on screen. Once the
buttons are released, the test noise will begin
to circulate again in five seconds.
When all channels have the same output level,
press the
Test Tone Selector ˆi button
again to complete the process.
NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available
for the VMAx or Surround Off mode.
Additional Input Adjustments
After one input has been adjusted for Surround
mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and
output levels, go back to the
INPUT
SETUP
line on the MASTER MENU and
enter the settings for each input that you will
use. In most cases, only the digital input and
surround mode will be different from one input
to the next, while the speaker type, crossover
frequency, Night mode and output level settings
will usually be the same and may be quickly
entered by entering the same data used for the
original input.
Once the settings outlined on the previous
pages have been made, the AVR 510 is ready
for operation. While there are some additional
settings to be made, these are best done after
you have had an opportunity to listen to a vari-
ety of sources and different kinds of program
material. These advanced settings are described
on pages 28 to 34 of this manual. In addition,
any of the settings made in the initial configu-
ration of the unit may be changed at any time.
As you add new or different sources or speak-
ers, or if you wish to change a setting to better
reflect your listening taste, simply follow the
instructions for changing the settings for that
parameter as shown in this section.
Having completed the setup and configuration
process for your AVR 510, you are about
to experience the finest in music and home-
theater listening. Enjoy!
