Note that it is also possible to set channel levels temporarily. Then follow the same procedure as explained on this page. This function is designed to be used when you want to change the levels temporarily to raise the level of one channel. Using this method you can set speaker levels in different modes, such as, STEREO, and each DSP mode, independently. You should return the settings to their original state when done. Doing the set up procedures on this page will erase any temporary/independent level settings that have been made.
