Please note that this operation will override the level adjustments made in “BASIC SETUP” (page 23), “SP LEVEL” (page 51) and “Manually adjusting speaker levels” (page 47). Use the test tone to set speaker levels so that the volume from each speaker is identical when heard from your listening position.
