NOTE:

The AVR-3300 automatically sets the optimum surround delay time for the listening room.

• If the distance unit is changed after the delay time is set, the settings are reset to the factory default values (see page 17).

Setting the channel level

Use this setting to adjust so that the playback level between the different channels is equal.

From the listening position, listen to the test tones produced from the speakers to adjust the level.

The level can also be adjusted directly from the remote control unit. (For details, see page 44.)

When using both surround speakers A and B, their playback levels can be adjusted separately.
