Balance
To set the channel levels, you will be adjusting the volume
level on each speaker to achieve balance.
Using the remote control unit, press the SELECT button to
select a channel as follows:
FL (front left) ÖCNT (center) Ö FR (front right) Ö SR
(surround right) Ö SL (surround left) Ö SUB (subwoofer).
The level of the selected channel will be displayed on the
television screen and on the front panel display.
Use the VOLUME+ button to ad
j
ust the selected channel’s
level between 00dB and +10dB as follows: 00DB Ö
+01DB Ö +02DB Ö +03DB Ö +04DB Ö +05DB Ö +06DB
Ö +07DB Ö +08DB Ö +09DB Ö +10DB.
Use the VOLUME- button to adjust the speaker channel’s
level between 00dB and -10dB as follows: 00DB Ö -01DB Ö
-02DB Ö -03DB Ö -04DB Ö -05DB Ö -06DB Ö -07DB Ö
-08DB Ö -09DB Ö -10DB.
Notes:
xThe default setting is 00DB. We suggest that you set you
subwoofer to +05DB for better balance.
xIf you do not press the SELECT, VOLUME + or
VOLUME – button after a few seconds, the value turns off
and is stored in the system.
xTo adjust the master volume (the volume of all the
speakers at once) use the VOLUME + and VOLUME –
buttons in normal mode.
