Caution

•Speakers whose settings are set to “NONE” in “1 SPEAKER SET” (except for “1A CENTER SP”) on the SET MENU will be skipped and no test tone will be output.

2 Adjust VOLUME +/– so you can hear the test tone.

Caution

•If the test tone cannot be heard, turn down the volume, set this unit in the standby mode and check the speaker connec- tions.

3 Press +/– repeatedly to adjust the output level of the effect speakers so that the output level coming from each speaker is the same.

Each speaker level can be adjusted in the range of –10 to +10 dB.

While adjusting, the test tone is heard from the selected speaker.

Cautions

•If “1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to “NONE”, the center channel sound is automatically output from the left and right main speakers.

•If “1C REAR L/R SP” on the SET MENU is set to “NONE”, the output level of the rear left, right and center speakers cannot be adjusted in step 3.

•If “1D REAR CT SP” on the SET MENU is set to “NONE”, the output level of the rear center speaker cannot be adjusted in step 3.

•Main L/R speaker level cannot be adjusted by itself. Use VOLUME to adjust the main volume.

4 Press TEST to enter the TEST DSP mode.

Press TEST again to stop the test tone and the DSP program name appears on the front panel display and the video monitor.

Notes

•The tonal quality of the speakers can be adjusted using the “4 CENTER GEQ”, “5 REAR CT GEQ”, and “6 CINEMA EQ” items in the SET MENU (see pages 55 to 57).

•You can increase the output levels of the effect channels (left rear, right rear, rear renter and center) to +10 dB. If the output level of the center, rear, and rear center speakers is lower than that from the main speakers even after you have increased the sound volume level of the center, rear, and rear center speakers up to +10 dB, set the “1G MAIN LEVEL” item in the SET MENU to “–10dB”. Setting the “1G MAIN LEVEL” item to this setting decreases the main speaker volume level to about one-third the normal level. After you set the “1G MAIN LEVEL” item in the SET MENU to “–10dB”, adjust the levels for the center, rear, and rear center speakers again.

•The adjustment of output levels of the center speaker, and left and right rear speakers is also effective to the speaker output level during the playback of the source connected to 6CH INPUT jacks.
