You can achieve better surround sound by
properly adjusting the overall balance of your
speaker system. The following setting can help
you make detailed adjustments that you may
not achieve using the Manual speaker setup on
page 42.
1 Select 'Fine Ch Level' from the Manual
MCACC setup menu.
You'll hear test tones from each speaker in
turn. Since the left speaker is the main
reference speaker, the level is fixed.
Caution

increases to –13dB automatically).
