The adjustments will be indicated on the receiver’s display as they are made. Follow the sequence below to make adjustments:
1.Press REAR•CENTER once and adjust the left main channel.
2.Press REAR•CENTER again and adjust the center main channel.
3.Press REAR•CENTER again and adjust the left rear channel.
4.Press REAR•CENTER two more times and adjust the right rear channel (the center main channel must be passed through to adjust the right rear channel).
5.Press REAR•CENTER again to adjust the right main channel.
6.Press TEST again to end the test.
3.You will make two passes at adjusting your speakers. In the first pass, adjust the bars on the Test Tone screen of your TV to equal levels.

Adjust all of the speaker outputs to “sound” equal from your position.
You may not need to check or adjust these levels again unless you move your system, rearrange the speakers, or change your preferred seating location in the room.
