6 speakers required for a surround sound system. The adjustment of each speaker output level should be made at your listening position with the remote control. After completing the adjustments, use VOLUME +/– at your listening position to check if the adjustments are satisfactory.

The tonal quality of the center speaker can be adjusted by using “5 CENTER GEQ” on the SET MENU (see page 41).

You can increase the output levels of the effect speakers (center, left rear, right rear and rear center) to +10 dB. If the output level of these speakers is lower than that of the main speakers even after you have increased the output level of these speakers up to +10 dB, set “1F MAIN LEVEL” on the SET MENU to –10 dB (see page 40). This setting decreases the main speaker output level to about one-third of the normal level. After you have set “1F MAIN LEVEL” on the SET MENU to –10 dB, adjust the levels for the center, rear and rear center speakers again.
