Channel level setting

The Auto MCACC feature (see page 23) should give you
the best surround sound setup. However you may find
that by further adjustment of the channel levels you can
improve the surround sound in your listening room.
This method of setting the channel levels allows you to
listen to a source and adjust the levels of each playback
channel. Note that the channel level settings for stereo
playback are independent of the settings for surround
sound playback.
A further method of setting the channel levels is to use
the test tone method. See Adjusting the channel levels
using the test tone on page 32 for more on this.
Note
1 There are other settings you can adjust from the Setup menu; these are explained in Listening to the radio on page 29 and Additional informa-
tion on page 37.
