This mode switches the test tone between each speaker automatically. Use this mode when balancing the speaker levels by ear.

The automatic test tone is output in the following order:

FL CT FR

SW SL SBL SBR SR

MANUAL (manual TEST TONE)

This mode lets you switch the test tone between each speaker manually. You can use this mode when you want to balance the speaker levels by ear at a more leisurely pace.

memo

A test tone will be output from the SURROUND BACK speakers but your external amplifier must be turned up at least a little in order to hear it. Be careful that it is not turned up too much because the test tone volume is quite loud.

3After selecting SETTING START with the ° button press ENTER button. The TEST

TONE will be output.

These settings will be displayed on your TV.
