OPERATION

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 240 is

established using EzSet+, or the internal test tone, as

outlined on pages 29–30. In some cases, however, it

may be desirable to adjust the output levels using pro-

ram material such as a test disc, or a selection you

are familiar with.

o adjust the output levels using program material, first

et the reference volume for the front left and front right

channels using the Volume Control Òb

If you are using a disc with test signals or an external

signal generator as the source from which to trim the

output levels, you may use a handheld SPL meter to

guide you to the correct SPL levels. Set the meter to

the C-Weighting Slow scale, and adjust the volume

until the meter reads 75dB.

Once the reference level has been set, press the

Channel Select Button

and FRONT L

LEVEL

will appear in the Lower Display Line

Q and semi-OSD. To change the level, first press

the

Set Button p, and then use the

⁄

Buttons

to raise or lower the level. DO NOT

use the volume control, as this will alter the

reference setting.

Once the change has been made, press the

Set

Button

p and then press the

⁄

Buttons

to select the next output channel location you wish to

adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press the

⁄

Buttons

until WOOFER LEVEL appears in

the

Lower Display Line Q and on screen.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels

requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjust-

ments have been made and no further adjustments

are made for five seconds, the AVR 240 will return to

nor

mal operation.

The channel output for any input may also be adjusted

using the full-OSD on-screen menu system. First, set

the volume to a comfortable listening level using the

Volume Control Òb. Then, press the OSD

Button

v to bring up the MASTER MENU

(Figure 1). Press the

Button n until the on-

screen

›

cursor is next to the MANUAL

SETUP

line

Press the

Set Button p to display

the

MANUAL SETUP submenu, and use the

⁄/¤ Buttons n to scroll to the CHANNEL

ADJUST

line. Press the Set Button p again to

display the

CHANNEL ADJUST submenu.

Once the menu appears on your video screen,

first

use the

⁄

Buttons n to move the on-screen

›

cursor so that it is next to the TEST TONE

line. Press the

‹

›

Buttons o so that OFF

appears

This will tur

n off the test tone and allow you

o use your external test disc or other source material

s the reference. Then, use the

⁄

uttons

until the › cursor is next to the TEST TONE

SEQ

line so that you may select between automatic

and manual movement of the test tone from one

hannel to the next. When

UTO

ppears, the test

tone will automatically circulate from one channel to

the next, pausing momentarily at each channel. If you

adjust the level of any channel, the test tone will

emain paused at that channel until several seconds

fter your last adjustment before continuing to the next

channel. When

MANUAL appears, the test tone will

remain paused at the last channel until you use the

⁄/¤ Buttons n to select another channel.

At each channel position, use the

‹

›

Buttons o

to change the output level.

Remember, the goal is to

have the output level at each channel be equal when

heard at the listening position.

If you wish to reset all the levels to their original

factory default of 0dB offset, press the

⁄

Buttons

n so that the on-screen cursor is next to the

CHANNEL RESET line and press the

‹

›

Buttons o so that the word ON appears.

After the

levels are reset, resume the procedure outlined above

to reset the levels to the desired settings. When all

adjustments are done, press the

⁄

Buttons

to move the on-screen

›

cursor so that it is next to

BACK TO MANUAL SETUP and then press

the

Set Button p if you wish to go back to the

manual setup menu to make other adjustments. If you

have no other adjustments to make, press the

OSD

Button

v to exit the menu system.

NOTE: The output levels may be separately trimmed for

each digital and analog surround mode by selecting that

mode and following the instructions shown above.
