6:Adjusting the speaker levels and balance
(TEST TONE)
Adjust the speaker levels and balance while listening the test tone from your listening position. Use the remote for the operation.
Tips
•The receiver employs a test tone with a frequency centered at 800 Hz.
•Although these adjustments can also be made via the LEVEL button on the front panel, we recommend you follow the procedure described below and make adjustments from your listening position using the remote.
1 Press ?/1 on the remote to turn on the receiver.
2 Press TEST TONE on the remote.
“TEST TONE” in the LEVEL menu appears in the display and the test tone is output from each speaker in sequence.
3 Adjust the speaker level and balance using the LEVEL menu so that the level of the test tone sounds the same from each speaker.
For details on the LEVEL menu settings, see page 44.
Tips
•To adjust the level of all speakers at the same time, press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote or turn MASTER VOLUME on the receiver.
•You can also use the jog dial on the receiver for the adjustment.
4 Press TEST TONE again after adjustment.
The test tone turns off.
To output the test tone only from a specific speaker
Set “TEST TONE” in the LEVEL menu to “FIX” (page 44). The test tone is output only from the selected speaker.
For more precise adjustment
You can output the test tone or sound source from two adjacent speakers to adjust their balance and level.
Set “T.TONE” in the CUSTOMIZE menu to “PHASE NOISE” or “PHASE AUDIO” (page 48). Then select the two speakers you want to adjust using “PHASE NOISE” or “PHASE AUDIO” in the LEVEL menu (page 44).
Note
When you select analog audio using the MULTI CH DIRECT or ANALOG DIRECT buttons, the power to the digital circuits is turned off.* When you output the test tone in this setting, it takes a few seconds to output the test tone. This, however, is not a malfunction.
*When “D.POWER” in the CUSTOMIZE menu is set to “AUTO OFF” (page 47).
