  • Page 22: Delay Settings

    To avoid problems, we recommend that delay times be adjusted using the Dolby Digital mode. If a different mode is selected at a later time, the AVR 330 will automatically restrict the delay settings to those required by the surround mode in use.

  • Page 23: Output Level Adjustment

    Output level adjustment is a key part of the configura- tion of any surround sound product. It is particularly important for a digital receiver such as the AVR 330, as correct outputs ensure that you hear soundtracks with the proper directionality and intensity.

    ¯. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, turn the AVR 330 off using the Main Power Switch 1 and check the speaker wiring or connections to external power amplifiers to make certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal.

    Surround Mode Chart MODE FEATURES Dolby Digital Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency effects (LFE) channel. Dolby Digital EX Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the latest version of Dolby Digital. When used with movies or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 sound field is available.
  • Page 28 Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7. Since the range of available surround modes is dependent on the type of digital data that is present, the AVR 330 uses a variety of indicators to let you know what type of signal is present.

    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 330 will return to normal operation. The channel output for any input may also be adjusted using the full-OSD on-screen menu system.

    Turn-On Volume Level As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when the AVR 330 is turned on, it will always return to the volume setting in effect when the unit was turned off. However, you may prefer to always have the AVR 330 turn on at a specific setting, regardless of what was last in use when the unit was turned off.
