Channel Balance

How can you achieve optimal balance in volume lev- els from all speakers? The GFR-700HD supplies indi- vidual sliders and a “pink noise” test tone to aid you in balancing your speaker levels. For best results, it is recommended that you use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter to precisely measure the volume levels from each speaker. However, your ear aided by ex- perimentation is ultimately the best judge. The fol- lowing is an overview of the Channel Balance menu.

To access the Channel Balance menu:

1Press the Main button on the remote control.

2 Press the Setup button.

3 Use the / buttons to select CHANNEL BAL- ANCE, then press the Select button.

4 Use the / buttons to choose from the follow- ing menu items:

TEST TONE

Generates a “pink noise” test tone that you can move manually from speaker to speaker. This neutral tone provides an effective gauge to measure volume lev- els that is more objective than a movie sound track or other variable signal. Use the / buttons to se- lect:

•On or Off

•If you select On, the test tone does not begin until you first select a speaker (see below).

•If you select Off, the currently selected audio source will be heard instead of the test tone.

L SURR BACK / R SURR BACK

Adjusts the relative volume of the left/right surround back speakers. Use the / buttons to select:
