Advanced Setup—Continued

4

Use the Left and Right [

]/[ ]

 

buttons to adjust the speaker

 

level, and use the Down [

] but-

 

ton to select the next speaker.

The level can be adjusted from –12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps (–15 to +12 dB for the subwoofer).

5

Repeat step 4 so that the level of

 

 

the test tone from each speaker

 

is the same.

 

Speakers that you set to No or None in

 

the Speaker Configuration (page 32) do

 

not output the test tone.

 

 

6

Press the [SETUP] button.

 

 

Setup closes.

 

Don’t forget to turn down the volume if

 

you turned it up while setting the levels.

 

 

Note:

•A quicker way to adjust the speaker levels is to press the remote controller’s [TEST TONE] button to output the test tone, use the [LEVEL–] and [LEVEL+] but- tons to adjust the levels, and use the [CH SEL] button to select the speakers.

•If the multichannel input is selected (page 35), in step 2, the “3. MultiLevel” menu appears instead of the “3. Level Cal” menu, and you can adjust the level of each channel of the multichannel input regardless of the Speaker Configuration settings.

Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format auto- matically. However, if you experience either of the fol- lowing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS:

•If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM.

•If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.
