OPERATING THE RECEIVER

BALANCING THE SPEAKER SYSTEM

To reproduce sound effects as they were intended, the speakers must be correctly balanced.

To balance the speakers using the test tone, all speakers must be connected to your receiver. Your receiver must be in the Dolby® Pro Logic Surround, Dolby 3 Stereo or Hall Mode.

TO BALANCE THE SPEAKERS

1.Press TEST on the receiver’s front panel. The receiver generates “pink noise” and applies it at 2-second intervals to the left main, center, right main, and left and right rear channels (simultaneously), in that order.

2.Make adjustments by pressing REAR•CENTER. Press + or – on your remote control (LEVEL up or down on the receiver) to adjust the balance for each channel. Each time you press these buttons, the receiver provides you with 4 more seconds of pink noise to that channel before moving on to the next. The adjustments will be indicated on the receiver’s display as they are made. Follow the sequence below to make adjustments:

1.Press REAR•CENTER once and adjust the left main channel.

2.Press REAR•CENTER again and adjust the center main channel.

3.Press REAR•CENTER again and adjust the left rear channel.

4.Press REAR•CENTER two more times and adjust the right rear channel (the center main channel must be passed through to adjust the right rear channel).

5.Press REAR•CENTER again to adjust the right main channel.

6.Press TEST again to end the test.

3.You will make two passes at adjusting your speakers. In the first pass, adjust the bars on the Test Tone screen of your TV to equal levels. In the second pass, stand at the spot in the room where you are most likely to listen to your system (the rear speakers’ sound should be coming from behind your head). Adjust all of the speaker outputs to “sound” equal from your position.

You may not need to check or adjust these levels again unless you move your system, rearrange the speakers, or change your preferred seating location in the room.
