Adjusting speaker balance

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, surround speakers and the subwoofer by using the built-in test tone generator. Make this adjustment so that each speaker output level becomes almost the same when heard at the listening position. This is important for high performance of the builtin DTS decoder and Dolby Digital decoder.

*Once you have completed this adjustment, you can adjust the overall volume level of this system only by using the MASTER VOLUME control.
