Adjusting Speaker Output Levels, Using the test tone

ADJUSTING SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS

This section explains how to adjust speaker output levels using the test tone generator. When this adjustment is complete, the output level heard at the listening position should be the same from each speaker. This is important for best performance of the various decoders (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS).

Note

•Since this system cannot enter the test mode while headphones are connected to the amplifier unit, be sure to unplug the

headphones from the	SILENT jack when using the test
tone.
