25.Keep in mind that this may, or may not, be the actual center of the room, although it appears at the center on the graph.

When adjustments are made at this screen, you are making adjustments to the relative position of the room center, or to compensate differences that occur when listening to actual program material as opposed to setup using the test noise signal provided for Speaker Level adjustments. Moving the on-screen “o” cursor point on this menu is similar to using the left/right “balance” and front/back “fade” controls on conventional audio products.

To assure proper settings, it is recommended that program material representative of the type of movie or music that will be used most often with this source be played while the adjustments are made.

If you feel that the sound does not appear to be “centered” in the room correctly, use any of the Ü Ý ÚÛ Menu Control buttons i to move the sonic center of the room. As you listen to the sound change in the room, you will see the visual indication of the current center position by the location of the “o” cursor on the screen. The readout at the bottom of the on- screen display provides a relative indication by noting

the offset from center to the left or right by the number after the “R/L” indication, with “LF” indicating a left offset and “RT” indicating a right offset. When the “o” is on the center vertical line, a “0” appears after the R/L indicating no balance offset.

Similarly, the right side of the displays shows the front/back fade next to the “F/B” indication. A number followed by “FT” indicates you have moved more volume level to the front, while a “BK” indicates an offset to the back of the room. When a “0” appears after the F/B, and the cursor is on the horizontal center line, there is no fade offset.

If this adjustment must be made when the on-screen display is not available, you may judge the relative balance position using the numeric scales explained above as they appear in the front panel Information Display (Figure FPD-6).
