CHANNEL SELECT CHANNEL VOLUME

4Use the + or – buttons to adjust speaker levels so that you hear the test tone at the same volume from each speaker when seated in your main listening position.

•If a speaker is deselected in the center, surround speaker or subwoofer setting mode (see page 30) then no test tone will be output for that speaker.

•The channel level range is ± 10 dB.

•Levels can be set for each surround mode.

5 Press TEST TONE to turn off the test tone.

•Since the subwoofer transmits an ultra-low frequency its sound may seem quieter than it actually is. Be careful not to turn up your subwoofer too much and check the volume with an actual source.

•The subwoofer volume is best controlled with the volume control on the powered subwoofer.

•The speaker volume can be adjusted without

outputting the test tone by pressing CH SELECT and +/− button.

•The default setting is 0 dB for all channels.

•If you have adjusted the channel level using the + button, even if the master volume is all the way up you’ll never actually get a volume level that is 0 dB (full volume).
