BALANCE

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.

Preparation

•Before adjusting the speaker level balance, be sure to set the speaker size, distance and existance correctly.

•Before adjusting the speaker level balance, turn off the DSP surround system.

•Operate the unit while playing the source recorded in Dolby Digital surround or Dolby Pro Logic.

1Turn SURROUND on.
2Press and hold MANUAL SELECT on the remote
control until “L” of “L/R 0dB” starts to flash.

A noise signal is sent to each channel in turn at the interval of

2 seconds as follows:

L/R 0dB (Left front speaker)*

C 0dB (Center speaker)

L/R 0dB (Right front speaker)*

S 0dB (Right surround speaker)

S 0dB (Left surround speaker)

*L or R flashes to indicate one of the front speakers from which the noise signal is output.

3 Adjust the sound level of the center and surround speakers.

While “C” or “S” flashes in the display, press JOG +or -on the remote control so that the sound level of the center or surround speakers matches that of the front speakers.

The blance of the front speakers can be adjusted as well while “L/R” is displayed.
