Adjusting the Speaker Levels <LEVEL>

Adjustments and Settings

The LEVEL menu contains parameters that let you modify the output level of each speaker and perform a variety of other adjustments to control the sound mix. The settings available in this menu effect all the sound fields.

zMost of these settings can also be adjusted directly using the remote. See “Adjusting the speaker volume” (page 21).

pTest Tone

TEST TONE [OFF]

Initial setting : OFF

Lets you turn the test tone on or off.

•When OFF is set, the test tone is not output.

•[AUTO] outputs the test tone from each speaker in order automatically.

•L (left front), C (center), R (right front), RS (right surround), LS (left surround), or SW (sub woofer) outputs the test tone only from the corresponding speaker.

•The test tone can also be output using the supplied remote. See “Adjusting the speaker volume” (page 21).

pFront balance

FRONT L________R

Initial setting : center

Lets you adjust the balance between the front left and right speakers.

•This setting can also be adjusted directly using the supplied remote. See “Adjusting the speaker volume” (page 21).

pRear Balance

REAR L________R

Initial setting : center

Lets you adjust the balance between the rear left and right speakers.

•This setting can also be adjusted directly using the supplied remote. See “Adjusting the speaker volume” (page 21).

pCenter level

CENT.LEVEL –XX.XdB

Initial setting : 0 dB

Lets you adjust level of the center speaker.

•The level can be adjusted in 1 dB steps from –20 dB to +10 dB.

•This setting can also be adjusted directly using the supplied remote. See “Adjusting the speaker volume” (page 21).

pRear level

REAR LEVEL –XX.XdB

Initial setting : 0 dB

Lets you adjust level of the rear (left and right) speakers.

•The level can be adjusted in 1 dB steps from –20 dB to +10 dB.

•This setting can also be adjusted directly using the supplied remote. See “Adjusting the speaker volume” (page 21).

pSub woofer level

SUB WOOFER –XX.XdB

Initial setting : 0 dB

Lets you adjust the level of the sub woofer.

•The level can be adjusted in 1 dB steps from –20 dB to +10 dB.

pLFE (Low Frequency Effect) mix level

LFE MIX –XX.XdB

Initial setting : 0 dB

This parameter lets you attenuate the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel output from the sub woofer without effecting the level of the bass frequencies sent to the sub woofer from the front, center or rear channels via the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry.

•The level can be adjusted in 0.5 dB steps from –20 dB to 0 dB (line level). 0 dB outputs the full LFE signal at the mix level determined by the recording engineer.

•Selecting OFF mutes the sound of the LFE channel from the sub woofer. However, the low frequency sounds of the front, center, or rear speakers are output from the sub woofer according to the settings made for each speaker in the speaker setup (page 18~21).
