Notes

!If needed, select speakers and adjust their ‘ab- solute’ output levels. (Refer to Adjusting the speaker output levels on the previous page.)

!To adjust the speaker output levels in this mode is the same as making the speaker out- put levels at Speaker Level (speaker output level). Both provide the same results.
