ADJUSTING SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS
This section explains how to adjust speaker output levels using the test tone generator. When this adjustment is complete, the output level heard at the listening position should be the same from each speaker. This is important for best performance of the digital sound field processor, and the various decoders (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS).
Note
•Since this system cannot enter the test mode while headphones are connected to this system, be sure to unplug the headphones from the PHONES ( SILENT) jack when using the test tone.
