Adjusting the speaker output levels

SUBWFR LVL (subwoofer output level)

FRONT L LVL (left front speaker output level)

FRONT R LVL (right front speaker output level)

CENTER LVL (center speaker output level)

SURR L LVL (left surround speaker output level)

SURR R LVL (right surround speaker output level)

S BACK LVL (surround back speaker output level)

S BACK L LVL (left surround back speaker output level)

S BACK R LVL (right surround back speaker output level)

You can adjust the speaker output levels.

By using Precise Surround Setup (see pages 16 to 18), you can set the output levels of all the speakers to the same levels.

Adjustable range: –10 (dB) to +10 (dB) (in 1 dB intervals)

Initial setting: 0 (dB) for all speakers

NOTES

If you have selected “NO” for a speaker (see page 30), the output level for the corresponding speaker is not adjustable.

If you have selected “1SPK” for “S BACK OUT” (see page 31), “S BACK LVL” appears instead of “S BACK L LVL” and “S BACK R LVL.”

While using the headphones, you cannot adjust the speaker output levels.

From the remote control:

1Press TEST to check the speaker output

balance.

“TEST FL” starts flashing on the display, and test tones come out of the speakers clockwise.

FL = C = FR = SR = SBR*

You can adjust the speaker output levels without the test tone.

2Adjust the speaker output levels.

Press the + or – button corresponding to the speaker you want to adjust.

3Press TEST again to stop the test tone.

*When using a single speaker for the surround back speaker, the test tone comes out of “SB” instead of “SBR” and “SBL.”

NOTES

No test tone comes out of the speakers for which the speaker setting is set to “NO” (see page 30).

No test tone is available when the headphones are in use.

If you have selected “1SPK” for “S BACK OUT” (see page 31), press S. BACK L +/– to adjust the output level.

When the PSS indicator is lit, the frequency response of each channel appears on the display with the test tone. (See page 18.)

Adjusting the equalization patterns—D EQ 63Hz/250Hz/1kHz/ 4kHz/16kHz

You can adjust equalization patterns in five frequency bands (center frequency: 63 Hz, 250 Hz, 1 kHz, 4 kHz, 16 kHz) for the front speakers.

Once you have made an adjustment, it is memorized for each source.

Adjustable range: –8 (dB) to +8 (dB) (in 2 dB intervals)

Initial setting:

0 (dB) for all bands

When making an adjustment, the DIGITAL EQ indicator lights up on the display.

If no adjustment is required, set all the frequency bands to “0 (dB).”

• The DIGITAL EQ indicator goes off from the display.

From the remote control:
