System Setup
Once the speakers have been placed in the
room and connected, the final step in the
setup process is to enter the settings that
configure the AVR35RDS’s bass
management system for the type of
speakers used in your system, the
calibration of the output levels and the
delay times used by the surround sound
processor. Before proceeding further, this is
a good time to review the installation
section of the manual to make certain that
all connections are properly made.

You are now ready to power up the
AVR35RDS to begin these final
adjustments.

1. Plug the 

‹

to an

unswitched AC outlet.

2. Press the 

1

in

so that it latches in with the “OFF”
wording on the top of the switch inside
the front panel. Note that the 

3

will turn amber,

indicating that the unit is in the
Standby mode.

3. Install the four supplied AAA batteries

in the remote as shown. Be certain to
observe the (+) and (–) polarity
indicators shown in the bottom of the
battery compartment.

4. Turn the AVR35RDS on either by

pressing the 

2

on the front panel, or via the remote

by first pressing the 

b

,

and then pressing the 

button

d

. The 

3

will

turn green to confirm that the unit is
on, and the 

˝

will also light up.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Each step of all
following configurations is indicated in
the display only for some seconds, the 

j ˜

and 

h ¸

buttons for

changing and confirming any selection
must be pressed within the appropriate
indication time. If the display has returned
to normal mode you’ve to re-start with this
configuration step.

Speaker Configuration
The first few adjustments tell the
AVR35RDS, which type of speakers are in
use. This is important as it adjusts the
settings that determine which speakers
receive low-frequency (bass) information.
For each of these settings use the 

LARGE

setting if the speakers for a particular
position are traditional full-range loud-
speakers that are capable of reproducing
sounds below 100Hz. Use the 

SMALL

setting for smaller, frequency-limited
satellite speakers that do not reproduce
sounds below 100Hz. Note that when
“small” front (left and right) or center
speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to
reproduce low-frequency sounds (see
below). Remember that the “large” and
“small” descriptions do not refer to the
actual physical size of the speakers, but
their ability to reproduce low-frequency
sounds. If you are in doubt as to which
category describes your speakers, consult
the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s
manual, or ask your dealer.

With the AVR35RDS turned on, follow these
steps to configure the speakers:

1. Put the AVR35RDS in the Dolby Pro

Logic mode by pressing the 

Ó

on the front

panel or by pressing the 

g

on the remote,

followed by the 

⁄

¤

buttons 

h

until

PRO LOGIC

appears in the 

V

and the

indicator 

F

lights.

2. Press the 

button 

z ˘

on

the remote or front panel. The words

FRNT SPEAKER

will appear in the

V

.

3. Press the 

button 

j ˜

. The

display will show the actially selected
front speaker mode now.

4. Press the 

⁄

¤

buttons 

h

on the

remote or the 

buttons

¸

on

the front panel until either 

LARGE

or

SMALL

appears to match the type of

speakers you have at the left front and
right front positions, as described by the
definitions shown below.

When 

SMALL

is selected, low-

frequency front channel sounds will be
sent to the subwoofer output only. Note
that if you choose this option, and there
is no subwoofer connected, you will not
hear any low-frequency sounds with
front signals.
