NOTE:
The AVR 340 is not equipped with a traditional
Balance control. When listening to two-channel materi-
als, if you wish to adjust the stereo image, you may
use the
Channel Adjust Selector
to increase or
decrease the level of the left front channel by up to +
or –10dB, and then to decrease or increase the right
front channel by the corresponding amount. However,
when listening to surround materials and most two-
channel materials, it is recommended that you leave
these settings at the results obtained during the config-
uration process described on pages 19 through 33.
