Notes
• When [Variable] is selected, the output level of all
speakers is uniformly set to –6.0 dB. The output level of
each speaker (center, surround, or sub woofer) can then be
adjusted in the range of –6.0 dB to 6.0 dB. "6.0 dB" is the
maximum level of [Variable] and also the level set for
[Fix]. Therefore, when [Variable] is selected, the output
level will usually be lower than when the setting is set to
[Fix].
• The [Variable] setting has no effect on CD and Video CD
playback.
• The test tone is not output when the setting is set to [2
Channel] in the [Audio Output] setting (page 32), while
the disc tray opens, or while a disc is playing.
