What is a test tone?

A test tone is a signal that is produced by the receiver and used to adjust speaker volume. The test tone is output from speakers in the following two ways:

•When NORMAL, WIDE, or 3 STEREO mode is selected

The test tone is output from the front L (left), centre, front R (right), and rear speakers (except for 3 STEREO mode) in succession.

Front (L) Front (R)

Centre

3 STEREO

Rear (L, R)

•When PHANTOM mode is selected

The test tone is output from the front and the rear speakers alternately.
