Adjusting the channel levels using the test tone
If you prefer, you can set the channel levels using a test tone as a reference, rather than playing a source (see Channel level setting on page 21). A test tone is played through each speaker in turn, allowing you to adjust the level as it plays.
Note that the channel level settings for stereo sources are independent of the settings for surround sound sources.

SURROUND ADVANCED F.S.SURR MCACC
CHANNELVOLUME
1Press SURROUND to select the Auto listening mode.
•If you want to set the channel levels for stereo (two channel) playback, select the STEREO listening mode.
2Press TEST TONE.
The test tone is output from each speaker in turn.
3 While a test tone is playing, use the (cursor up/down) buttons to adjust that channel level.
The aim is to adjust the levels so that you hear the test tone at the same volume from each speaker. You can adjust the level of each channel by ±10 dB.
•You can adjust the overall volume of test tone output using the VOLUME +/– buttons (this does not affect the channel level settings).
•If the system is in Stereo or Virtual mode, you will not be able to adjust the center or surround channels.
•Because of the ultra low frequencies the subwoofer produces, it may sound quieter than it really is. We suggest adjusting the subwoofer level while listening to a source. See the method described in Channel level setting on page 21.
4When you’re done, press ENTER to exit test tone setup.
•If you use the Auto MCACC feature again, it will overwrite the settings you have made here.
