7Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to set the distance from your main listening posi- tion to the surround speakers.

8Press ENTER to exit.

•The setting mode is automatically exited if no operation is performed within 20 seconds.

•There are several other settings that you can make from the System Setup menu to further tailor your surround sound. See chapter 9 for more on this.

•The speaker distance settings have no effect when the surround mode is set to VIR.SURR.1 or VIR.SURR.2. See page 23 for more on surround modes.

You can’t make these settings with the Record mode on. See page 25 for how to switch the Record mode on/off.

Balancing the surround sound

You can further improve surround sound performance by balancing the levels from the subwoofer, center and surround speakers relative to the front left/right speakers. To help you judge the sound level of each speaker a test tone is played through each speaker in turn (make sure that there are no headphones connected). Adjust the levels until they all sound equal.

The levels you set here will apply to all surround modes. However, you can set levels independently for each DSP mode.

It may not be possible to accurately adjust the subwoofer level using this method. You may prefer to leave it on its default setting and adjust it to your liking later when playing surround-sound sources.

• You cannot change the DSP mode when Record mode is active (see Direct recording on page 25).

1 Press SURROUND MODE.

The surround mode can be set to anything except SURROUND OFF or AUTO (No test tone is output in these modes.)

2 Set the volume to a moderate level.

3Press TEST TONE (SHIFT & CH LEVEL) to start the test tone then adjust the volume to a suitable level.

The test tone plays through each speaker in turn:

•Front left

•Center

•Front right

•Surround right

•Surround left

•Subwoofer

4Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to adjust the level of a speaker as the test tone plays.

For best results, sit in your main listening position when doing this. You can adjust each speaker in the range of +/-10dB.

5When you're done, press TEST TONE (SHIFT & CH LEVEL) to turn off the test tone.
