							BEFORE MAKING THE ADJUSTMENT ON THIS UNIT
Be sure to adjust the output level balance among the
left main, center, right main and surround channels for
Dolby Pro Logic on the amplifier (or receiver)
connected to this unit using a test tone generator built
into the amplifier. Adjust the balance so that the levels
of those channels become almost the same when you
hear the test tone at the listening position.
If you have finished adjusting the output balance on the
amplifier, then go on to the adjustment on this unit by
following the procedure below.
* For output balance adjustment for Dolby Pro Logic on
the RX-V2090, refer to the instructions on the section
“ADJUSTMENT BEFORE OPERATION” of the RX-
V2090’s manual.
1Turn down the volume to a minimum level on the
amplifier or receiver.
2Press once or more until “B”
appears on the left side of
the display.
3Press once or more until the
following message appears
on the display.
4Press “+” side once so
that the arrow points
“ON”.
5Turn up the volume on the amplifier.
You will hear a test tone (like pink noise) from the left
main speaker, then the center speaker, then the right
main speaker, then the right surround speaker and
then the left surround speaker, for about two seconds
each. The display changes as shown below.

OUTPUT BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the output level balance among all the channels are very important to maximize the performance of your system including
this unit. This unit lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the left and right surround channels using the built-in test
tone generator. Before making the adjustment on this unit, you should make the output balance adjustment for Dolby Pro Logic on
the amplifier (or receiver) connected with this unit. Follow the instructions below.

B4. LFE MIX LEVEL
B5. OUTPUT TRIM
Description of each function
B2. LEFT SURROUND LEVEL
Control range: –6 dB to +6 dB (in 1 dB step)
Preset value: 0 dB
Adjusts the output level at the left surround channel.
You had already adjusted the level in “OUTPUT BALANCE
ADJUSTMENT” on page 13, however you can change the
level if you wish.
B3. RIGHT SURROUND LEVEL
Control range: –6 dB to +6 dB (in 1 dB step)
Preset value: 0 dB
Adjusts the output level at the right surround channel.
You had already adjusted the level in “OUTPUT BALANCE
ADJUSTMENT” on page 13, however you can change the
level if you wish.
B4. LFE MIX LEVEL
Control range: MUTE, –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB step)
Preset value: 0 dB
Adjusts the output level at the LFE (low frequency effect)
channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals at the main
channels, only the level of the LFE signals are adjusted.
When adjusted to MUTE, only the LFE sound will not be
output.
B5. OUTPUT TRIM
Control range: –9 dB to 0 dB (in 0.5 dB step)
Preset value: 0 dB
Adjusts the output level at all channels.

ADJUSTING DELAYS AND DYNAMIC RANGE
This unit provides you with the following functions to make the AC-3 sound field suitable for the conditions of your listening room.
A1. CENTER DELAY
A2. SURROUND DELAY
A3. DYNAMIC RANGE
A4. HIGH LEVEL CUT SCALE
A5. LOW LEVEL BOOST SCALE
Description of each function
A1. CENTER DELAY
Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms step)
Preset value: 0 ms
Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main
channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel).
The larger the value, the later the dialog is generated.
A2. SURROUND DELAY
Control range: 0 ms to 15 ms (in 1 ms step)
Preset value: 5 ms
Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main
channels) and the effect sounds (at the surround channels).
The larger the value, the later the effect sounds are generated.
A3. DYNAMIC RANGE
Choices: MAX/STANDARD
Preset position: MAX
MAX:“Dynamic range” is the difference between the
maximum level and the minimum level of sounds.
Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie
theaters feature very wide dynamic range.
AC-3 technology can bring the original sound track
into a home audio format with this wide dynamic
range unchanged.
In this position, an AC-3 source is reproduced in the
original sound track’s wide dynamic range providing
you with powerful sounds like a movie theater.
Selecting this position will be more ideal if you can
listen to a source in a high output level in a room
specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.
STANDARD:
Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range
are not always suitable for home use. Depending
upon the condition of your listening environment, it
may not possible to increase the sound output level
as high as a movie theater, however, in a level
proper for listening to in your room, the low level
parts of source sound cannot be heard as well
because they will be lost among noises in your
environment.
AC-3 technology also makes it possible to reduce an
original sound track’s dynamic range for a home
audio format by “compressing” the data.
In this position, an AC-3 source is reproduced in the
“compressed” dynamic range of the source suitable
for low level listening.
If you desire, you can also adjust the dynamic range
on function A4 and A5 only when this position is
selected. (See the right side for details.)
A4. HIGH LEVEL CUT SCALE
Control range: 0.0 to 1.0 (in 0.2 step)
Preset value: 1.0
Adjusts the dynamic range of high level signals of source. The
larger the value, the range is more reduced. The smaller the
value, the range is more widened.
Note:This function is available only when the “STANDARD”
position is selected on the function A3.
A5. LOW LEVEL BOOST SCALE
Control range: 0.0 to 1.0 (in 0.2 step)
Preset value: 1.0
Adjusts the dynamic range of low level signals of source. The
larger the value, the range is more widened. The smaller the
value, the range is more reduced.
Note:This function is available only when the “STANDARD”
position is selected on the function A3.

completely inserted.
Incorrect input or output cord
connections.
Improper input mode selection.
Improper input mode selection on the
amplifier.
