When you adjust the channel levels while in the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEL LEVEL mode, the channel
level adjustments made will affect ALL surround modes. Consider this mode a Master Channel Level
adjustment mode.
After you have completed the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEL LEVEL adjustments, you can then activate the
individual surround modes and adjust channel levels that will be remembered for each of those modes.
Then, whenever you activate a particular surround sound mode, your preferred channel level adjustments
for just that mode will be recalled. Check the instructions for adjusting channel levels within each
surround mode on page 27.
You can adjust the channel levels for each of the following surround modes: DIRECT, STEREO, 5CH/7CH
STEREO, DOLBY/DTS SURROUND, HOME THX CINEMA, WIDE SCREEN, SUPER STADIUM, ROCK
ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, CLASSIC CONCERT, MONO MOVIE, and MATRIX.
When using either surround speakers A or B, or when using surround speakers A and B at the same time,
be sure to adjust the balance of playback levels between each channel for the various selections of “A
or B” and “A and B”.
• This unit features a subwoofer peak limit control which prevents distortion and damage in the loudspeaker
system by controlling the maximum bass volume level. With this feature you may set the maximum bass level
for the system.
• This feature operates with or without a subwoofer in the system.
Subwoofer peak limit level setting
1
At the System Setup Menu select “Subwoofer Peak Limit
Lev.”.
2
Switch to the Subwoofer Peak Limit Level Setting screen.
3
Select “ON” for Peak Limiter.
4
The screen switches. Select “Setting
Start”, then select “Yes”.
The screen switches and a test noise is
produced from the speaker system.
5
Increase the master volume level until the test noise is
distorted.
The test noise (bass sound) is distorted when it sounds as if
the input is excessively high (when the sound crackles).
To cancel the setting, use the cursor buttons on the “Subwoofer Peak Limit Level Setting” screen after step
2 to select “OFF” for “Peak Limiter”.
6
Press the ENTER button at the point where the test noise starts sounding distorted.
The AVC-A11SR automatically sets the subwoofer peak limit level.
This prevents future inadvertent subwoofer overload due to excessively strong bass
content when the master volume control is at a high level.
CAUTION!
• The master volume is set to “–30 dB” when test tones are output.
• The test tones are for confirming the low frequency playback limits and are played at an extremely high
level. When using a low output subwoofer, be very careful about irregular operations exceeding clipping by
for example turning down the subwoofer’s attenuator before starting then slowly turning the attenuator up
to the listening level.
• Also, when the subwoofer is set to “No” in the speaker configuration, the test tones are output from the
front speakers. When using front speakers with low input resistance, check that the sound is not clipped
at sections where the signal is strong on the CD music source before starting the peak limit setting. The
peak limit setting should not be performed if the music source cannot be played with the master volume
set at “–15”. Set the front speakers to “Small” and the subwoofer to “Yes ” in the speaker configuration.
When this is done, the low frequencies are cut, so the effect is insufficient. We strongly recommend adding
a subwoofer.
• If the test tone is clipped when it is set to “–18 dB”, set the peak limit to “–18 dB”. In this case, the input
resistance of the subwoofer or front speakers is insufficient so clipping may occur when playing music. We
recommend switching to a subwoofer with a higher input resistance.
• This setting assigns the digital input jacks of the AVC-A11SR for the different input sources.
Setting the Digital In Assignment
1
At the System Setup Menu select “Digital In Assignment”.
2
Switch to the Digital In Assignment screen.
3
Select the digital input jack to be assigned to the input source.
• To select the input source
• To select the digital input jack
Select “OFF” for input sources for which no digital input jacks are used.
If “Yes ” is selected for “Default”, the settings are automatically reset to
the default values.
4
Enter the setting.
The System Setup Menu reappears.
