Adjusting The Speaker Levels (TEST TONE)

After you have connected all 6 speakers to the main unit and positioned the speakers as described on the previous page, the next step is to adjust the sound level of each of the 5 satellites, using the Test Tone, so that the level at your normal listening position seems to be the same. This adjustment should be made with the Test Tone only, not while you are watching a DVD movie. Remember that most of the action and dialog in a movie will occur in front of you and the sound will come from the 3 front satellites and the subwoofer. The rear speakers are designed to operate only when there is some action or special sound effects taking place behind you. If you adjust the level of the two rear speakers incorrectly so that you constantly hear sound behind you, you will not get the proper surround effect.

1 Press the TEST TONE button on the remote control. The test tone sound signal will start at the front right (FR) speaker. After 3 seconds the sound will move to the center (C) speaker, and then to the front left (FL), surround right (SR) and surround left (SL) speakers in succession. The main display and the TV screen will show the word "TEST" and will also indicate which speaker is operating. The test tone continues cycling among the 5 speakers indefinitely.

2All 5 satellite speakers have been pre-set to the same level (00 db). If the tone signal from all 5 speakers sounds about the same at your normal listening position, no further adjustment is necessary. You can press the TEST TONE button again to cancel the test tone function.

IMPORTANT: It does not matter how loud or soft the test tone signal is. As long as all 5 speakers have the same level you do not need to make any adjustment. You can skip step 3 and go to the next section.

3 If the level of all 5 speakers does not sound the same at your normal listening position you can adjust each speaker up or down 10 db in 1 db steps. For example let's say that the test tone from the two surround speakers sounds lower than the 3 front speakers because the rear speakers are further away from your normal listening position. When the front panel display and the TV screen indicate that the tone is coming from the surround right (SR) speaker, press the VOL + button on the remote control to increase the level of that speaker. The front panel and TV screen will show the new level setting. After a few seconds the new setting will be memorized and the test tone will move to the surround left (SL) speaker. Adjust the surround left (SL) speaker in

•Press the POWER button on the front panel to turn the system ON. The unit will go into the Standby mode.

•Turn on your TV. If necessary adjust your TV to select the source which is connected to the Video In (or S-Video In) jack, depending on which jack you used to connect this system to your TV. The Emerson DVD logo screen should appear on your TV together with the words "NO DISC".
