Adjust the output level from

the speakers (Gain setting)

This setting should be made when the AUDIO OUT (5.1 channel) jacks on the rear panel are connected to an AV amplifier or receiver. The output level of each speaker in your system can be set and confirmed. The factory setting is set to [Fix]. However, when you want to adjust the output level, select [Variable].

Notes

When [Variable] is selected, the output level of all speakers is uniformly set to –6.0 dB. The output level of each speaker (center, surround, or sub woofer) can then be adjusted in the range of –6.0 dB to 6.0 dB. "6.0 dB" is the maximum level of [Variable] and also the level set for [Fix]. Therefore, when [Variable] is selected, the output level will usually be lower than when the setting is set to [Fix].

The [Variable] setting has no effect on CD and Video CD playback.

The test tone is not output when the setting is set to [2 Channel] in the [Audio Output] setting (page 32), while the disc tray opens, or while a disc is playing.
