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 “AUTO SETUP” (page 26), “Speaker level” (page 57) and “Manually adjusting speaker levels” (page 51). Use the test tone to set speaker levels so that the volume from each speaker is identical when heard from your listening position.
Note
You cannot activate the test tone if headphones are connected to the PHONES jack. Remove the headphones from the PHONES jack.
