Adjusting the Speaker Balance During Playback

The speaker settings configured by YPAO (page 21) are suitable for most conditions. However, depending on room conditions or listening position, you may need to adjust the speaker balance manually. This adjustment is important because it brings out the maximum effect of the DSP program, and faithfully reproduces the acoustic characteristics of Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS. You can adjust the speaker balance using test tones or playback source.

y

Since the following procedures base on the volume level of the front speakers, you cannot adjust the front speaker’s L/R balance with these procedures. To adjust the L/R balance of the front speakers, refer to “Configuring Various Parameters (Set Menu)” (page 75).

Notes

•Disconnect the headphones from the SILENT CINEMA jack on the CinemaStation before starting the setup procedure.

•Adjust the speaker balance at your listening position with the remote control.

Notes

•If “CENTER” is set to “NON” in the Set Menu (page 77), you cannot adjust the center speaker volume.
