Low Frequency Effects are not present on all films.

Finally, make sure all the speaker terminals are tightened particularly if using banana plugs.

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 direct-access level adjustment of these channels, over a range of ±12 dB. You can also adjust all channel levels using the front panel’s Levels key (see “Front Panel,” above), or via the <Channel Levels> line of the main <Setup> menu.

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 receiver through Standby.

Channel Levels are part of the T 743’s Preset system. See “Creating and Using Presets”.

Level settings are added/subtracted to the setup levels established by the T 743 level-calibration routine, invoked by the HTR 2 [Test] key. However, selecting any Preset will revert channel levels to those stored in the preset.

ADJUSTING THE TONE CONTROLS

The T 743 bass and treble controls are adjusted using the front panel’s TONE CONTROLS (and TONE DEFEAT) buttons; see “Front Panel”.

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.
