SOUND ADJUSTMENTS
Stereo balance
The feeling of direction and depth that
sound pro-
duces is greatly diminished if the volume levels of the two channels
are not balanced to produce a well-defined stereo image.
Adjust the BALANCE control buttons as necessary. Proper setting
of the BALANCE control will vary with different program sources
because of differences in recording levels. Stereo balance is
affected by the acoustics of the listening room, which itself is
dependent on the shape and size of the room, the
of the
room’s furniture, and the carpet and wall coverings.

The manipulation of the tone control section does not interrupt the
signal path in the amplifier. However, its overuse may adversely af-
fect amplifier tone quality.
