ii an indoor antenna is used (either built Into the set or installed separately).
never allow any part of the antenna to touch the metal parts of other electrical
appliances such as a lamp. TV set stc.

CAUTION - POWER LINES: ANY OUTDOOR ANTENNA MUST BE
LOCATED AWAY FROM ALL POWER LINES.

OUTooon ANTENNA GROUNDING

it an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier. be sure
the antenna system Is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 oi the National Electrical
code. ANSIINFPA No. 704964. provides lnlormetion with respect to proper
grounding oi the mast and supporting structure. grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna, discharge unit. size cl grounding conductors. location of antenna
discharge unit. connection to grounding electrodes and requirements tor the
grounding electrode.

(1) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mmi copper. No. a Awe (8.4rnm2) aluminium. No.
17 AWG (1 .Omm) copper-clad steel or bronze wire. or larger. as aground wire.

(2) Secure antenna lead-In and ground wires to house with stand-oft
insulators spaced from 4-6 lest (1.22 -1.33 In) span.

(a) Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-In
enters house.

(4) Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm) copper. or the
equivalent. when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. See NEG
Section 810-21 (1).

SETTING up THE sunnouuo SYSTEM.

To work at its best. the output levels of the AV
316's surround facilities need to be adjusted so that
there is an even balance of sound from all the
speakers in the system. The Delay time fer the
Surround speakers also needs to be correctly set for
your normal listening position

The adjustment of speaker levels is done using the
Test and Speaker Level adjust functions on the

Remote Control.

it Is important first to correctly phase all the speak-
ers in the system. Check that the positive (4-)
terminals of the amplifier speaker outputs are con-
nected to the positive (4-) connector on the each of
the speakers.

Before starting the set-up procedure. ensure that
the CENTER Mode is set correctly for your speaker
configuration. TONE DEFEAT should be ON and the
BALANCE control set to the position normally used
for stereo sources (usually the 12 o'clock position).

USING TEST TO SET UP THE SURROUND

SYSTEM LEVELS.

With the speakers connected and the VOLUME
turned down to zero, select DOLBY PRO LOGIC
MODE. SPEAKER A and press TEST on the Remote
Control. This generates a test signal that Is ted to
each of the speaker channels in turn (left. center.
right and surround). so that each can be adjusted for
equal loudness at your listening position. The Display
Panel shows which speaker is being ted with the

test signal
Turn the VOLUME up until the signal Is moderately
loud through the lelt and right speakers. When the

Test signal reaches the Center speaker. press the .

CENTER VOLUME A or V button on the Remote
Control to adjust the Center speakers loudness so

mode, continue pressing the SLEEP buttbn until the .

that it matches the levels being produced by the left
and right- speakers. The relative level of the Center
channel is shown in the Display Panel and can be
,ohanged In dB steps. Below -20d! the Increments

become progressively coarser.

When you have finished. adjusting the level of the
Center channel the Test signal will automatically con-
tinue switching between the speakers. If you are

. unhappy with your initial setting. repeat the procedure

until the levels match.

Repeat the operation to set the surround speaker
level using the REAR VOLUME A or V button on the
Remote Control. The adjustment will affect the level
at both surround speakers simultaneously.

A more accurate adjustment can be made using a
sound level meter. if available. Set the meter to SloW
and 'C-weighted' modes and re-check the settings
with the. meter placed in several different positions in
the general listening area.

If a Sub-Woofer is used on the system, adjust the
Sub-Wooter's level control so that it Is audible. but
does not dominate the sound. Sub-Woofer levels can
be later tine-tuned using programme material.

SETTING THE SURROUND DELAY.

Because the Surround speakers are usually closer
to the listener than the Front speakers, there is a
tendency for the ear to Iocailse sounds to the rear.
because the ear takes most notice of the sounds that
arrive at the head first. To resolve this problem. the
Dolby Pro Logic circuit includes a Surround delay.
This ensures sound coming from the surround
speakers always arrives at the listener's ears after the
sound from the front speakers.

The exact amount of delay required depends on the
relative distances between the Front and surround
speakers and the listening position In the room.

First make a note of the distance between the
surround speakers and the listening position. Now
make a note of the distance between the front
speakers and the listening area. Note where the
two distances intersect this will give the correct
Delay setting (see Page 5).

To adjust the Daley setting. put the Av 316 into
Dolby Pro Logic mode and press DELAY on
the front panel or the Remote Control. Continue
pressing DELAY until the correct value is shown in
the Display Panel. .

Level and Delay settings are stored in the AV 316's
membry. They are automatically recalled when the
unit is switched on.

For your reference, use the boxes below to make a
note of your settings. if they are accidentally altered.
you can reset them without having to run the Test
procedure.
