3 Speaker Setup
3.1 AV2 speaker setup
The AV2 Speaker Setup routine both defines the
presence and type of speakers to be used in the system
and sets their listening distance and volume level
parameters.
To switch the AV2 into Speaker Setup mode press the handset
key, or press and hold the front
panel
button. The front panel mode button will flash.
To scroll down or up the setup parameters press the handset
buttons.
To select a setting for each parameter press the handset
keys or use the front panel rotary control.
The diagram opposite shows the list of speaker setup
parameters with some typical settings chosen. In this example,
large (full bandwidth) front speakers, a large centre speaker,
small (restricted bandwidth) surround speakers and a sub-woofer
have been specified.
Distances in metres from the speakers to the listening position
have been specified and relative volume levels between the
speakers have been adjusted using the test signal. Distance and
level parameters for extra rear speakers don’t appear because
they have been specified as not used.
To use the speaker test signal, set the AV2 volume to a
moderate level (use the handset
of 40 - 50 should be fine) and set TST to ON. Press the handset
key. A noise signal should be heard from the left front
speaker.
Listen to the noise through each speaker (handset
key) before making any adjustments - this will confirm the
speaker connections are correct and reduce the possibility of
unnecessary volume level adjustments being made.
Listen to each speaker once again (the AV2 user interface
cycles around the speaker volume level setup stages) and adjust
the levels so that each one is equally loud from the normal
listening position. In the example diagram the centre channel
has been adjusted upward slightly while the surround channels
have been lowered. The sub-woofer volume level is best set
somewhere between the highest and lowest levels for the other
speakers and then adjusted using its volume adjustment.
To return all input setup parameters to their default state press
and hold the handset
key while the AV2 is in input setup
mode.
To exit from Speaker Setup mode press the handset
key, or press and hold the front panel
