memo You can change the channel level of each speaker at any time by using the EFFECT CH/SEL. and +/− buttons on the AMP SUB screen on the remote control. You can set the levels for each three

groups of the listening modes (STANDARD/HOME THX, ADVANCED CINEMA/ADVANCED CONCERT, STEREO) and MULTI CH IN mode but keep in mind that all your settings will be cleared if you use the Surround Setup or Auto Surround Sound Setup to set the channel levels at a later date.

Acoustic Calibration EQ

This setting is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers, excluding the subwoofer. You can select the frequency balance between your speakers that suits your personal tastes. This feature also allows you to increase the amount of a certain frequency in the soundtrack, which will have the effect of hearing more (or less) bass, mid-range or treble. Use this feature by following the on-screen displays (OSD) on your TV and using the arrow and ENTER buttons. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-4 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.37) first.
