Page 11: Antenna Connections
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement. -
Page 12: Speaker Balance Adjustment
SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in test tone generator. With this adjustment, the sound 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. - Page 13 Select the center channel output mode according to your speaker configuration. (Refer to “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” on page 6.) CENTER NORMAL MODE WIDE PHANTOM On the feature of each mode, refer to the “Note” shown below. Note In step 6, when you select the center channel output mode, note the following.
- Page 14 Adjust the BALANCE control so that the effect sound output level of the left front speaker and the right front speaker are the same. BALANCE Adjust the sound output level of the center speaker to be at the same level as that of the front speakers with the CENTER LEVEL keys.
