Advanced Setup—Continued

Speaker Levels

With this function, you can adjust the volume of each speaker so that all speakers can be heard equally at the listening position.

• The speaker levels cannot be adjusted while a pair of headphones is connected, speaker set B is on, or the AV receiver is muted.

• Because the AV receiver supports THX, the test tone is output at the standard level of

0 dB (relative volume setting 0). If you nor- mally listen at volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.
