Manually adjusting speaker levels

 

Using the test tone

You can adjust the output level of each speaker while listening to a music source. This is also possible when playing sources through the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Please note that this operation will override the level adjustments made in “BASIC SETUP” (page 23), “SP LEVEL” (page 51) and “Using the test tone” (page 47).
