Before playing with the surround function

Fader function

This function makes it possible to lower the volume of the front channels (FL, C and FR) or the rear channels (SL, SR and SB) together. Use it for example to adjust the balance of the sound from the different positions when playing multi-channel music sources.

Before playing with the surround function, be sure to use the test tones to adjust the playback level from the different speakers. This adjustment can be performed with the system setup (see page 12) or from the remote control unit, as described below.

Adjusting with the remote control unit using the test tones is only possible in the “Auto” mode and only effective in the DOLBY/DTS SURROUND modes. The adjusted levels for the different modes are automatically stored in the memory.
