Adjusting speaker balance
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level
balance between the front, center and surround speakers
by using the built-in test tone generator. Make this
adjustment so that each speaker output level is about 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 by using
only the MASTER VOLUME control.
