Adjusting the speaker level

Use the remote while seated in your listening position to adjust the level of each speaker.

Note

The receiver incorporates a new test tone with a frequency centered at 800 Hz for easier speaker level adjustment.

1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.

2 Press TEST TONE on the remote.

You will hear the test tone from each speaker in sequence.

3 Adjust the LEVEL parameters so that the level of the test tone from each speaker sounds the same when you are in your main listening position (page 71).

4 Press TEST TONE again to turn off the test tone.

To output the test tone from a selected speaker

Use the LEVEL menu to set “TEST TONE” to “FIX” (page 41). The test tone is output only from the selected speaker.

For more precise speaker level adjustment

You can output the test tone or sound source from two adjacent speakers to adjust balance, phase, and equalization. Set the SET UP menu to test tone (T.TONE) and select the sound to be output (test tone or sound source) (page 50). Then, select the test tone parameter from the the LEVEL menu to select the two speakers you want to adjust (page 41).

Tips

•You can adjust the level of all speakers at the same time. Turn MASTER VOLUME on the main unit or press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote.

•You can use the jog dial on the receiver for the adjustment.

Notes

•The adjusted value are shown in the display during adjustment.

•Although these adjustments can also be made via the front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the test tone is output, the receiver switches to the LEVEL menu automatically), we recommend you follow the procedure described above and adjust the speaker levels from your listening position using the remote.

•When you select analog audio using the MULTI/ 2CH ANALOG DIRECT button, the power of the digital circuits is turned off.* Therefore, when you output the test tone in this setting, it requires a few seconds to output the test tone. However, this is not a malfunction.

*When “D.POWER” is set to “AUTO OFF” in the SET UP menu.

Checking the connections

After connecting all of your components to the receiver, do the following to verify that the connections were made correctly.

1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.

2 Turn on the component that you connected (e.g., CD player or tape deck).

3 Rotate FUNCTION to select the component (program source).

4 Start playing.

If you do not obtain normal sound output after performing this procedure, see “Troubleshooting” on page 82 and take the appropriate measures to correct the problem.
