Adjusting Speaker Balance; Playing A Source - Yamaha TSS-1 Owner's Manual

Adjusting speaker balance

This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level
balance between the front, center, surround speakers and
the subwoofer by using the built-in test tone generator.
Make this adjustment so that each speaker output level
becomes almost the same when heard at the listening
position. This is important for high performance of the built-
in DTS decoder and Dolby Digital decoder.
* Once you have completed this adjustment, you can
adjust the overall volume level of this system only by
using the MASTER VOLUME control.
