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.
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 When this function is set while MCACC Effect is on, the value for the same function adjusted with the Auto MCACC feature is overwritten.
When MCACC Effect is off, the value set here is applied, regardless of the value adjusted with the Auto MCACC feature. (The Auto MCACC
setting is not overwritten.)
2 The range of adjustment is limited when the volume level is set over 51.
