Adjusting The Speaker Output Levels; Before You Begin; Using The Test Tone (Test Dolby Sur.) - Yamaha RX-V1200 RDS Owner's Manual

ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS

This section explains how to adjust the speaker output
levels by using the test tone generator. When this
adjustment is made, the output level heard at the listening
position will be the same from each speaker. This is
important for the best performance of the digital sound
field processor, and various decoders (Dolby Digital,
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic , DTS, DTS ES, and
DTS Neo: 6).
Note
• Since this unit cannot enter the test mode while headphones are
connected to this unit, be sure to unplug the headphones from
the PHONES jack when using the test tone.
