USING THE T 163
SURROUND SOUND CHANNEL CHART
The following table shows which channels work when a particular mode is selected:
X = | Speaker channel available. |
X* | Only if selected in Speaker Setup Menu. |

ADJUSTING CHANNEL LEVELS “ON THE FLY”
You can make changes to the relative levels of center, surround, and subwoofer outputs. This may prove useful in a number of circumstances; for example, to increase (or tone down) a film's dialog level by raising (lowering) the center channel, or to reduce excessive deep bass (or enhance deep bass) by lowering (raising) the subwoofer level without having to go into the CHANNEL LEVELS OSD menu.
TO ADJUST CHANNEL LEVELS
Use the HTR 2 remote's [Surr.], [Center], and [Sub] [ / ] keys for
NOTE THAT: The surround back channels (if any) adjust in lockstep with the surround channels;
Channel Level changes made via the HTR 2 are retained even if you cycle the tuner preamplifier through
Standby.
Channel Levels are part of the T 163’s Preset system. See “Creating and Using Presets,” below.
Level settings are added/subtracted to the setup levels established by the T 163
ADJUSTING THE TONE CONTROLS
The T 163 bass and treble controls are adjusted using the front panel’s TONE CONTROLS (and TONE DEFEAT) buttons; see “Front Panel,” above.
NOTE: Bass/treble settings affect only the front left/right channels, and are active in all listening modes.
Bass/treble settings are part of a Preset: Bass/treble settings in effect when a Preset is stored will be reinstated whenever that Preset is recalled.
