In some cases, however, it may be desirable toadjust the output levels using program material such asa test disc, or a selection you are familiar with. Additionally,the output level for the subwoofer can only be adjustedusing this procedure.To adjust the output levels using program material, firstset the reference volume for the front left and front rightchannels using the Volume Control Ù î.If you are using a disc with test signals or an externalsignal generator as the source from which to trim theoutput levels, you may use the EzSet feature of theremote to guide you to the correct SPL level. To usethe remote for this purpose, press and quickly releasethe SPL Selector Button to activate the sensor.While the test tone is circulating, the Program/SPLIndicator c will change color to indicate the level.Adjust the level using the ⁄/¤ Buttons n untilthe LED lights green for all channels. When it is red,the level is too high; when it is amber, the level is toolow. Press the SPL Selector Button to turn thesensor and indicator off.Once the reference level has been set, press theChannel Select Button m and FRONT LLEV will appear in the Lower Display Line ¯.To change the level, first press the Set Button p,and then use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to raise orlower the level.

To adjust the subwoofer level, pressthe ⁄/¤ Buttons n until WOOFER LEVappears in the Lower Display Line ¯.Repeat the procedure as needed until all channelsrequiring adjustment have been set. When all adjust-ments have been made and no further adjustmentsare made for five seconds, the AVR 330 will return tonormal operation.The channel output for any input may also be adjustedusing the full-OSD on-screen menu system.

Then, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons nto select the channels to be adjusted. At each channelposition, use the ‹/› Buttons o to change the out-put level. Remember, the goal is to have the outputlevel at each channel equal when heard at the listeningposition.If you wish to reset all the levels to their originalfactory default of 0dB offset, press the ⁄/¤ Buttonsn so that the on-screen cursor is next to theCHANNEL RESET line and press the ‹/›Buttons o so that the word ON appears. After thelevels are reset, resume the procedure outlined aboveto reset the levels to the desired settings.
