6: Adjusting the speaker
levels and balance
(TEST TONE)
Adjust the speaker levels and balance while
listening the test tone from your listening
position. Use the remote for the operation.
Tips
• The receiver employs a test tone with a frequency
centered at 800 Hz.
• Although these adjustments can also be made via
the LEVEL button on the front panel, we
recommend you follow the procedure described
below and make adjustments from your listening
position using the remote.
1
Press ?/1 on the remote to turn on the
receiver.
2
Press
on the remote repeatedly until
RECEIVER menu appears.
3
Move the easy scroll key to select
"TEST TONE", then press the key to
enter the selection.
"TEST TONE" in the LEVEL menu
appears in the display and the test tone is
output from each speaker in sequence.
4
Adjust the speaker level and balance
using the LEVEL menu so that the level
of the test tone sounds the same from
each speaker.
For details on the LEVEL menu settings,
see page 44.
Tips
• To adjust the level of all speakers at the same
time, press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote or
turn MASTER VOLUME on the receiver.
• You can also use the jog dial on the receiver for
the adjustment.

remote repeatedly again until

To output the test tone only from a
specific speaker
Set "TEST TONE" in the LEVEL menu to
"FIX" (page 44). The test tone is output only
from the selected speaker.
For more precise adjustment
You can output the test tone or sound source
from two adjacent speakers to adjust their
balance and level.
Set "T.TONE" in the CUSTOMIZE menu to
"PHASE NOISE" or "PHASE AUDIO" (page
48). Then select the two speakers you want to
adjust using "PHASE NOISE" or "PHASE
AUDIO" in the LEVEL menu (page 44).
Note
When you select analog audio using the MULTI CH
DIRECT or ANALOG DIRECT buttons, the power to
the digital circuits is turned off.* When you output
the test tone in this setting, it takes a few seconds to
output the test tone. This, however, is not a
malfunction.
* When "D.POWER" in the CUSTOMIZE menu is
set to "AUTO OFF" (page 47).
