can be performed with the system setup (see page 23) or from the remote control unit, as described below.
• Adjusting with the remote control unit using the test tones is only possible in the "Auto" mode and only effective in the DOLBY/DTS
SURROUND modes. The adjusted levels for the different modes are automatically stored in the memory.
