Multi channel surround setup (continued)
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.
“T. TONE” appears in the display and 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.
Press LEVEL to adjust the balance and level of speakers. For details on the LEVEL menu, see pages 27 and 28.
While adjusting, the test tone is output from the speaker whose adjustment is performed.
4 Press TEST TONE again to turn off the test tone.
Tip
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.
Notes
•The test tone cannot be output when the receiver is set to MULTI CH IN
•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.
