The OUTPUT BALANCE screen provides a temporary adjustment to the relative output levels of each speaker in the system. Unlike the BALANCE CHECK calibration procedure, the changes made on this screen are temporary. They change the output balance only for the current source input and only until a different source is se- lected, when the settings will revert to the system-wide default established during the BALANCE CHECK calibration.

VOLUME: –40db

The MAIN menu provides status information and configuration op- tions for the source inputs and other system parameters. Some of the items shown above will not be available for all surround modes. For example, C DELAY and DYNAMIC will only appear in DOLBY DIGITAL mode.

S MODE: The currently selected surround mode. Change using the SURROUND MODE front panel button or the SURROUND + button on the remote.

Press the ON-SCREEN MENU button a second time to go to the next screen:

SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS: The main portion of the screen con- sists of labels for each of the speakers in the system, along with an output level setting. The screen above shows ALL possible speakers as would appear in a full system in Dolby Pro Logic mode. Depending on your system configuration and surround mode setting, you will see a smaller complement of speakers. For example, in STEREO mode, you will only see FRONT speakers (and the SUBWOOFER, if your system is configured for a subwoofer).

To adjust the output of your speakers:

1.Press the ENTER button on the remote. The first speaker label will flash. Adjust its output level up or down with the VOLUME controls on the front panel or remote.

2.Press the ENTER button on the remote again to move to the next speaker. Adjust its output level, and press the ENTER button again to continue the process until all speakers have been adjusted.

3.Press the ENTER button on the remote again to move to the next speaker. Adjust its output level, and press the ENTER button again to continue the process until all speakers have been adjusted.

4.Once you’ve started adjusting, the screen will return to the MAIN screen after 5 seconds of inactivity or when you press ENTER af- ter the final speaker.

NOTE: You can reset the temporary OUTPUT BALANCE settings to 0dB for all speakers at any time by pressing the RECALL button on the remote control.

S MONO: This indication appears in the screen only in DOLBY PRO LOGIC surround mode to indicate that the surround speakers re- produce a mono signal in this mode.
