Getting Started

Test Tone / Channel balance

Channel balance

Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from chan- nel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level.

Please refer to “Fine setting your speaker” section for more details.

Level adjustment & surround channel level expectation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on actual program material the surround channel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the sur- round level; program producers use surround mostly for subtle atmosphereics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if it did, it would soon become distracting.

NOTE

The system is equipped with Dolby Digital, and manufactured under License from Dolby Laboratories.

Using Headphones
To listen privately through your	EN
audio system, use the PHONES jack
on the receiver. However, make sure
you turn down the volume before
you put on the headphones.
Increase the volume to the desired
level after headphones are in place.

Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE DOWNMIX 2 CHANNEL” will scroll on display. This feature automatical- ly converts multi-channel outputs to 2 channel stereo for your listening pleasure.
