OPERATION  25

Normal output-level adjustment for the 
AVR 200RDS is established using the Test Tone,
as outlined on page 17. In some cases, howev-
er, it may be desirable to adjust the output lev-
els 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 mate-
rial, first select the surround mode for which you
want to trim the speakers (see NOTE below) and
set the reference volume for the front-left and
front-right channels using the Volume Control
ˆ

. If you wish to vary the difference

between the left and right channels, use the
Balance Control 7.

Once the reference level has been set, press the
Channel-Select button q 32 and note that
FRONT L LEV

will appear in the Main

Information Display N. To change the level,
first press the Set button t 31, and then
use the Selector buttons 34 or the 

‹

›

buttons r to raise or lower the level. DO NOT
use the volume control, as this will alter the ref-
erence setting.

Once the change has been made, press the Set
button t 31 and then press the Selector
buttons 34 or the 

‹

›

buttons r to select

the next output channel location that you wish
to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press
the Selector buttons 34or the 

‹

›

buttons

r until S-WOOFER LEV appears in the
Main Information Display N.

Press the Set button t 31 when the name of
the desired channel appears in the Main Infor-
mation Display N, and follow the instruc-
tions shown earlier to adjust the level.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan-
nels requiring adjustment have been set. When
all adjustments have been made press the Set
button t 31 twice and the AVR 200RDS will
return to normal operation.

NOTE: 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 using the front-
panel buttons Ó Ô  Ò Ú or

on the

remote control and follow the instructions in the
steps shown above.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The output levels may also
be separately trimmed for each input selected to
compensate for different input levels from the
various sources used.

The AVR 200RDS is equipped for future
expansion through the use of optional, external
adapters for formats that the AVR 200RDS may
not be capable of processing. When an adapter
is connected to the 6-Channel Direct Input
·, you may select it by pressing the 6-Ch
Input Selector

$.

Note that 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 out-
puts when the 6-Channel Direct Input is in use.

This product is equipped with a memory backup
system that preserves tuner presets and system
configuration information if the unit is turned
off completelly, accidentally unplugged or sub-
jected to a power outage. This memory will last
for approximately two weeks, after which time
all information must be reentered.
