you turned it up while setting the levels.

 

When you want to go back up one

 

menu level to “Level Cal,” press the

 

[RETURN] button.

 

 

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 37), 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.

You can adjust the volume of each speaker from – 12 dB to +12 dB (–30 dB to +12 dB for the sub- woofer).

Normally, the AV receiver detects the signal format auto- matically. However, if you experience either of the fol- lowing issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can manually set the signal format to PCM or DTS:

If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM.

If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD, try setting the format to DTS.
