Pressing “+” transfers the test-tone to the right front effect speaker, and “–” to the left front effect speaker.

*Pressing and holding the parameter select ▼ or ▲ key (only when the PARAMETER/SET MENU switch is set to the PARAMETER position) fixes the test-tone on the speaker that is currently outputting the test-tone.

When this adjustment is finished, press the TEST switch once again.
