•You can increase the output levels of the effect speakers (center, left rear and right rear) 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 “1E MAIN LEVEL” on the SET MENU to –10 dB. This setting decreases the main speaker output level to about one-third of the normal level. After you have set “1E MAIN LEVEL” on the SET MENU to –10 dB, adjust the levels for the center and rear speakers again.
