Notes
! If needed, select speakers and adjust their ab-
solute output levels. (Refer to Adjusting the
speaker output levels on the previous page.)
! To adjust the speaker output levels in this
mode is the same as making the speaker out-
put levels at FRT-L. Both provide the same re-
sults.

nor F/R is selected in POSI.
