15 INST ALLA TION AND CONNECTIONS After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need to make the connec- tions to your audio and video equipment. Audio Equipment Connections We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connec- tions to source equipment and recorders [...]

16 We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length piece of cable to connect the front-left and front-right or surround-left and surround-right speakers, even if the speakers have a different distance from the A VR480. 8. Connections to a subwoofer are normally made via a line-[...]

17 Speaker Selection The same model or brand of speaker should be used at least for the front-left, center and front-right speakers. This creates a seamless front soundstage and eliminates the possibility of distracting sonic disturbances that occur when a sound moves across mismatched front- channel speakers. Speaker Placement The placement of spe[...]

18 SY STEM CONFIGURA TION Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps are to program the system configu- ration memories. With the A VR480, two kinds of memories are used: those associ- ated individually with the input selected (e.g., surround modes) and others working independently from any input selected, suc[...]

19 Speaker Setup This setup tells the A VR480 which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that determine which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information and whether a center speaker should be used or not. The speakers may be configured independ- ently for each source input, but it is rec- ommended that th[...]

20 The choices available for the subwoofer position will depend on the settings for the other speakers, particularly the front left/right positions. If the front left/right speakers are set to SMALL , the subwoofer will automati- cally be set to SUB , which is the “on” position. If the front left/right speakers are set to LARGE , three options [...]

21 Configuring Global Settings After the settings described above have been made for all input sources in your system, the following settings will remain in effect independent of the input selected. Delay Settings For the Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic II modes, you may need to adjust the delay time setting. Note that the delay time is not adjust[...]

29 Night Mode A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night mode, which enables Dolby Digital input sources to be played back with full digital intelligibility while reducing the maximum peak level and lifting the low levels by 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 .

30 Output Level T rim Adjustment Normal output level adjustment for the A VR480 is established using the test tone, as outlined on page 22. In some cases, however , it may be desirable to adjust the output levels using program material such as a test disc, or a selec- tion you are familiar with. Additionally , the output level for the subwoofer and[...]
