ADVANCED OPERATIONS

Using the test tone

You can use the test tone feature to manually balance your speaker levels. Please note that this operation will override the level adjustments made in the auto setup procedure (page 31) and “Speaker Level” (page 69). Use the test tone to set speaker levels so that the volume from each speaker is identical when heard from your listening position.
