Using The Test Tone - Yamaha RX Z9 - AV Receiver Owner's Manual

Using the test tone

You can use the test tone feature to manually balance your
speaker levels. Please note that this operation will override
the level adjustments made in the auto setup procedure
(page 33) and "Speaker Level" (page 76). Use the test tone
to set speaker levels so that the volume from each speaker
is identical when heard from your listening position.
