Yamaha RX-V496RDS Adjusting the Speaker Balance, Before You Start Adjusting Using the Test Tone

Page 20

ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the main, center and rear speakers by using the built-in test tone generator. When this adjustment is performed, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor, the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder and DTS decoder.
