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 menu key followed by the mode
key, or press
and hold the front panel mode button. The front panel
mode button will flash.
To scroll down or up the setup parameters press the
handset 8
or 2 keys or the front panel input or
mode buttons.
To select a setting for each parameter press the handset
4 or 6 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 vol
and vol keys - a
value of 40 - 50 should be fine) and set TST to ON. Press
the handset 8
key. A noise signal should be heard from
the left front speaker.
Listen to the noise through each speaker (handset 8
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 disp key while the av2 is in
input setup mode.
To exit from Speaker Setup mode press the handset menu
key followed by the mode
key, or press and hold the
front panel mode button.
