Balancing the surround sound
You can further improve surround sound performance by balancing the levels from the subwoofer, center and surround speakers relative to the front left/right speakers. To help you judge the sound level of each speaker a test tone is played through each speaker in turn (make sure that there are no headphones connected). Adjust the levels until they all sound equal.
The levels you set here will apply to all surround modes. However, you can set levels independently for each DSP mode.
It may not be possible to accurately adjust the subwoofer level using this method. You may prefer to leave it on its default setting and adjust it to your liking later when playing
• You cannot change the DSP mode when Record mode is active (see Direct recording on page 25).
