Adjusting the speaker volume

The test tone feature lets you set the volume of your speakers to the same level. (If all of your speakers have equal performance, you don’t have to adjust the speaker volume.)

Using the controls on the remote lets you adjust the volume level from your listening position.

You will hear the test tone from each speaker sequentially.

2Adjust the volume levels so that you hear the test tone from each speaker at the same volume level when you are in your listening position:

To adjust the volume between the front right and front left speakers, use the BALANCE control on the front of the main unit.

To adjust the level of centre speaker, press CENTER LEVEL + or – on the remote.

To adjust the level of rear speakers, press REAR LEVEL + or – on the remote.

3Press TEST TONE on the remote to turn off the test tone.

Adjusting the delay time

You can make the surround sound more effective by delaying the output from the rear speakers (delay time). You can adjust the delay time in 5 ms steps within the range of 15 to 30 ms. For example, if you’ve placed the rear speakers in a large room or apart from your listening position, set the delay time shorter.
