ADJUSTING SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS

This section explains how to adjust speaker output levels using the test tone generator. When this adjustment is complete, the output level heard at the listening position should be the same from each speaker. This is important for best performance of the digital sound field processor, and the various decoders (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic and DTS).

Note

Since this unit cannot enter the test mode while headphones are connected to this unit, be sure to unplug the headphones from the PHONES jack when using the test tone.

Using the test tone

Use the test tone to balance the output levels of the speakers. The adjustment of each speaker output level should be made at your listening position using the remote control.
