The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a
noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all four channels.
The sequencer outputs a noise signal that "travels" from channel
to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to
achieve the same apparent loudness, at your listening position,
from each channel.
1 Select the Dolby Pro Logic mode according to
your current type and placement of the speakers.
(See page 18.)
2 Press the MANUAL SELECT (TEST) button and
hold it down for about two seconds until "L TEST"
appears.
A noise signal is sent to each channel in turn as follows:
DOLBY PRO LOGIC NORMAL or WIDE mode
re L. TEST: (Left speaker)» TEST R: (Right aed
SUR: (Surround speaker) —— CEN: (Center speaker)
DOL.BY PRO LOGIC PHANTOM mode
S L TEST——*>TEST R-—*SUR |
3CH LOGIC NORMAL or WIDE mode
ct L TEST—>TEST aay

surround speakers.
While "CEN" or "SUR" is displayed, press the UPA or
DOWNY buiton to adjust the volume of the center or surround
speakers to match the level of the left and right speakers.

About the channels
The left and right speakers create the stereo effect.
The center speaker helps achieve precise sound positioning
over a broad sound field.
The rear-mounted surround speakers enhance the "depth" of
the sound field.
To change the delay time
The surround speakers reproduce sounds a split second after
the front speakers. The delay is initially set to 20 ms
(milliseconds).
To change this standard delay time, press the MANUAL SELECT
(TEST) button twice or three times so that "TIME?" is displayed.
Then, press the UPA or DOWNY button. Each time one of the
buttons is pressed, the delay time changes as shown below.
20ms <=> 30ms
To change the sound levels after adjusting the balance
with the noise sequencer
The sound levels of the center and surround speakers can be
adjusted during play of a laser disc or video software.
1 Press the MANUAL SELECT (TEST) button once or twice to
select "CEN" or "SUR" (center or surround).
2 While the "CEN" or "SUR" is displayed, press the UPA or
DOWNY button to adjust the volume.
