• Although these adjustments can also be made via the
front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the test
tone is output, the receiver switches to the LEVEL
menu automatically), we recommend you follow the
procedure described above and adjust the speaker
levels from your listening position using the remote.
• The bass redirection circuitry is always active, so you
may hear some sound output from the sub woofer
when test tone is output from other speakers.
However, this is not a malfunction.
