If you don't hear a test tone from one of your
speakers, please refer to Speaker setting on
page 32 to make sure you have correctly
specified your speaker setup.
3 Press VOLUME +/– to adjust the volume
to an appropriate level.
4 Use LEVEL +/– to adjust the speaker
levels in turn.
You should hear the test tone at the same
volume from each speaker when seated in the
main listening position. The channel level range
is ± 10 dB.
5 When you're done, press TEST TONE to
turn off the test tone.
The speaker volume can be adjusted without
outputting the test tone by pressing CH
SELECT and then using LEVEL +/–. However,
you can only adjust the level of the speakers
currently active in the mode you're listening
to. You can set separate levels for the
STANDARD, STEREO and DVD 5.1 ch
modes, as well as for each ADVANCED
SURROUND mode.
• Since the subwoofer transmits an ultra-low
frequency its sound may seem quieter than it
actually is.
• Using test tones to set up your speaker
system will overwrite any previous settings
you had for the STANDARD or ADVANCED
SURROUND modes.
