Before playing with the surround function

•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 34~35) 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 STANDARD

(DOLBY/DTS SURROUND) modes. The adjusted levels for the different modes are automatically stored in the memory.

1Press the TEST TONE button.

2Test tones are output from the

different speakers. Use the channel

volume adjust buttons to adjust so

that the volume of the test tones is

the same for all the speakers.
