Channel Balance

If your center speaker, surround speakers, or sub- woofer are too loud relative to your front speakers, you can lower their signal levels in 1 db increments. Use the built-in noise generator (labeled “TEST”) to check the balance among the six channels.

Open “Main Menu”

When in play or stop mode, press the SETUP button.

Select “Audio Options”

Press the UP/DOWN button to select AUDIO OPTIONS, then press ENTER.

Select “Speaker Setup”

Use the UP/DOWN button to select SPEAKER SETUP, then press ENTER. The Speaker Setup menu will appear.

5 Listen to the Channel Balance

As the test signal moves from speaker to speaker, listen to the level of your center and surround speakers relative to your front speakers. The speakers that are closer to you may be too loud. Press ENTER to stop the test signal.

6 Select Channel Levels

Use the UP/DOWN or LEFT/RIGHT buttons to highlight the decibel settings for the center speaker, surround speakers or subwoofer, then press ENTER.

4

Start Test Signal

Use the UP/DOWN or LEFT/RIGHT buttons to highlight TEST, then press ENTER.

A “white noise” test signal will be generated in the left front speaker. It will play for five seconds, then continue in a clockwise direction through all active speakers until you press ENTER.

7 Adjust Channel Levels

Use the UP/DOWN button to set the selected channel level from 0 to -6 db, in 1 db increments, then press ENTER.

8 Repeat

Repeat steps 4-7 until you have fine-tuned the channel balance for your listening area.

NOTES:

You can adjust the speaker level during playback of a disc by pressing the VOL. SETUP button on the remote control. You may find this more convenient than using the “white noise” generator in the Main Menu.

The test output signal of the subwoofer is lower than the other speakers.

For best results, use a Sound Pressure Level Meter (available at your local electronics retailer) to measure the strength of the signal from each speaker.
