Adjusting channel volume levels
Depending on your room and where you’re sitting, you
may want to adjust the relative volumes of one or more
speakers for a more balanced sound. You can do this in
any mode, including the surround, DSP, and stereo
modes. Settings that you make in any sound mode are
completely independent and don’t affect any other
mode.
• Each DSP effect has its own set of channel level
settings.
• The channel levels you set for the Surround mode
apply to Standard and all Advanced Theater effects.
• The headphone level is not affected by the channel
level settings.
1 Press CH LEVEL.
Adjustments to the channel volume levels will affect
only the current sound mode.
2 Use the
2
and
3
buttons to select a
channel to adjust.
The display shows the channel and its current setting.
• Remember that not all channels are available in all
sound modes.
3 Use the
5
and
∞
buttons to adjust the
volume of the current channel.
For best results, sit in your main listening position when
doing this. You can adjust each speaker in the range of
+/-10dB.
4 When you're done, press ENTER.
Dual-mono setting
The dual-mono setting applies only to Dolby Digital
discs that feature dual-mono material—see the disc
box for details.
Dual-mono discs are recorded with two independent
channels that may be played together or separately
depending on the situation. For example, a guitar
tuition disc might have the guitar recorded on one
channel and all the other instruments on the other. Use
the dual-mono setting to play just the guitar part on its
own; just the backing, or everything together (through
separate speakers, or mixed).
• You can’t change this setting if the Record mode is
on (see page 25).
1 Press SYSTEM SETUP.
2 Press the
2
or
3
button until you see
CH or MIX in the display.
3 Use the
5
and
∞
buttons to select a dual-
mono setting.
