Notes
• When [Variable] is selected, the output level of all speakers is
uniformly set to –6.0 dB. The output level of each speaker
(center, surround, or sub woofer) can then be adjusted in the									ADJUSTING
range of –6.0 dB to 6.0 dB. "6.0 dB" is the maximum level of
[Variable] and also the level set for [Fix]. Therefore, when
[Variable] is selected, the output level will usually be lower than
when the setting is set to [Fix].
