Adjusting Bass and Treble

You can use BASS +/– or /– buttons to adjust the low and high frequencies for each individual set of
speakers. If the receiver is in STEREO mode you can only adjust the FRONT speakers. In a surround mode
(STANDARD, ADVANCED THEATER, etc.) you can adjust the FRONT, CENTER, SURROUND and SURROUND
BACK speakers. The TONE button can also be used to bypass the tone circuitry (see p.22).

1 Press the TONE button on the front panel to

put the receiver in tone TONE: ON mode.

2 Press the CHANNEL SELECT button on the

front panel to cycle through the different
tone adjust modes.

The button cycles though the possibilities in the following
order:

adjust the low or high frequencies of each
channel.
