Speaker levels cannot be adjusted while the AV receiver is muted.

The level can be adjusted from –12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps (–15 to +12 dB for the subwoofer).

Speakers that you set to No or None in the Speaker Configuration (page 48) do not output the test tone.

Don’t forget to turn down the volume if you turned it up while setting the levels.

Note:

A quicker way to adjust the speaker levels is to press the remote controller’s [TEST TONE] button to output the test tone, use the [LEVEL–] and [LEVEL+] but- tons to adjust the levels, and use the [CH SEL] button to select the speakers.

If the multichannel input is selected (page 35), in step 2, the “3. MultiLevel” menu appears instead of the “3. Level Cal” menu, and you can adjust the level of each channel of the multichannel input regardless of the Speaker Configuration settings.
