The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all five channels. The sequencer outputs a noise signal that “travels”from channel to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to achieve the same apparent loudness, at your listening position, from each channel.

1 Select the Dolby Pro Logic mode according to your current type and placement of the speakers.

(See page 13.)

2 Press the MANUAL SELECT button and hold it down for about two seconds until “L/R OdB” appears.

A noise signal is sent to each channel in turn as follows:

About the channels

The center speaker helps achieve precise sound positioning over a broad sound field.

The rear-mounted surround speakers enhance the “depth”of

the sound field.
