CHANNEL LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS:

A properly setup Home Theater Surround Sound System should have all Loudspeaker levels adjusted to the same starting reference volume level in the Listening/Viewing Area. The MVP871 includes a built-in test signal genera- tor, which can have its output switched into each Loud- speaker manually or automatically. The desired test signal volume levels of each Loudspeaker can be determined, in

the Listening/Viewing Area, either by listening or with a sound pressure meter. Level adjustments are made in small steps (1dB) by using the MVP871 Remote Control Up or Down directional Push-buttons. The level can be adjust- ed over a 10dB range.

Note: Before performing the Loudspeaker Level adjust- ments, you must first have completed the Loudspeak- er Size adjustments.
