You are now ready to power up the AVR 120 to
begin these final adjustments.
1. Plugthe Power Cordi_) into an
unswitchedACoutlet.
2. Pressthe Main Power Switch[] in until
it latchesandthe word "OFF" onthe top
of the switchdisappearsinsidethefront
panel.Notethat the Power Indicator []

the (+) and (-) polarityindicatorsthat are
onthe bottom of the batterycompartment.
5.TurntheAVR120on eitherbypressingthe
SystemPower Control [] on thefront
panel,or viathe remotebypressingthe

System Setup
TheAVR 120featuresan advancedmemory
systemthat enablesyouto establishdifferent
configurationsfor the bassmanagement,digital
input, surroundmode,delaytimesand output
levelsfor eachinput source.Thisflexibility
enablesyou to custom-tailorthe wayin which
youlisten to eachsourceand havethe AVR120
memorizethose settings.Thismeans,for exam-
ple,that you mayusedifferentoutput levelsor
trimsfor differentsources,or setdifferent
speakerconfigurationswith the resultant
changesto the bassmanagementsystem.Once
thesesettingsare made,they will automatically
be recalledwheneveryouselectthat input.

probablywantto changethe settingsfor most
inputs sothat they are properlyconfiguredto
reflectthe useof digital or analoginputs,the
typeof speakersinstalledand the surround
modespecifics.Rememberthat sincethe
AVR120 memorizesthe settingsfor eachinput
individually,youwill needto makethese
adjustmentsfor eachinput used.However,
oncetheyare made,furtheradjustmentis
only requiredwhen systemcomponentsare
changed.
Onceyou havecompletedthe settingsfor the
first input, manysettingsmaybeduplicatedfor
the remaininginputs.Rememberthat oncethe
settingsare enteredfor one input,they mustbe
completedfor all other input sourcesin your
system.
Speaker Setup
Theseadjustmentstell the AVR120which type
of speakersare in use.Thisis importantas it

when "small" speakersare used,a subwoofer
is requiredto reproducelow-frequencysounds.
Rememberthat the "large" and "small"
descriptionsdo not refer to the actualphysical
sizeof the speakers,butto their ability to
reproducelow-frequencysounds.If youare in
doubt asto which categorydescribesyour
speakers,consultthe specificationsin the
speakers'owner'smanual,or ask yourdealer.
With theAVR120 turned on,follow these steps
to configurethe speakers:
