Setting the channel levels

You can set the relative channel levels from your main listening position for each listening mode, including all the Surround and Advanced Surround modes.

If you used the Room Setup feature (page 21), the channel levels for each listening mode will already be set. However, you can still fine- tune the levels here if you need to.

1 Press SURROUND or ADVANCED repeatedly to select a listening mode.

2Switch the remote control to SUB, then press TEST TONE to hear the test tone.

The test tone is output in the following order (from the speakers active in the current listening mode):

•L – Front left speaker

•C – Center speaker

•R – Front right speaker

•RS – Right surround speaker

•LS – Left surround speaker

•SW – Subwoofer

3Use the MASTER VOLUME +/– button to adjust the volume to an appropriate level.

4 Use the (cursor up/down) buttons to adjust the speaker levels in turn.

You should hear the test tone at the same volume from each speaker when seated in the main listening position. The channel level range is ± 10 dB.

5When you’re done, press ENTER to exit test tone setup.

•The speaker volume can be adjusted while listening to any sound source you

want by pressing CH LEVEL and then

using the (cursor up/down) buttons to adjust the channel levels. After you’re finished with one channel, use the (cursor left/right) buttons to move to the next.

•Since the subwoofer produces ultra-low frequencies its sound may seem quieter than it actually is.
