Adjusting the channel levels using the
test tone
If you prefer, you can set the channel levels using a test
tone as a reference, rather than playing a source (see
Channel level setting on page 21). A test tone is played
through each speaker in turn, allowing you to adjust the
level as it plays.
Note that the channel level settings for stereo sources
are independent of the settings for surround sound
sources.

1 Press SURROUND to select the Auto listening
mode.
• If you want to set the channel levels for stereo (two
channel) playback, select the STEREO listening
mode.
2 Press TEST TONE .
The test tone is output from each speaker in turn.
3 While a test tone is playing, use the
up/down) buttons to adjust that channel level.
The aim is to adjust the levels so that you hear the test
tone at the same volume from each speaker. You can
adjust the level of each channel by ±10 dB.
• You can adjust the overall volume of test tone output
using the VOLUME +/– buttons (this does not affect
the channel level settings).
• If the system is in Stereo or Virtual mode, you will not
be able to adjust the center or surround channels.
• Because of the ultra low frequencies the subwoofer
produces, it may sound quieter than it really is. We
suggest adjusting the subwoofer level while listening
to a source. See the method described in Channel
level setting on page 21.
4 When you're done, press ENTER to exit test tone
setup.
• If you use the Auto MCACC feature again, it will
overwrite the settings you have made here.
