Speaker Balance Setup
To ensure that the decoder supplies a balanced sound
image, the system allows you to adjust the volume of the
individual channels to provide a harmoniously balanced
arrangement.
The purpose of the
'
Speaker Balance Setup
'
is to adjust
the level of all the channels.
When you activate the
'
Speaker Balance Setup
'
you will
hear a hiss from the left main loudspeaker lasting two
seconds. You will find the data input position after the
first menu point.
'FL: 00
'
.
As the illustration shows, the hiss is reproduced on all
the channels in turn, in each case lasting about two sec-
onds:
•
Main loudspeaker front left
(
FL
)
•
Center loudspeaker front center
(
Center
)
•
Main loudspeaker front right
(
FR
)
•
Surround loudspeaker rear right
(
SR
)
•
Surround loudspeaker rear left
(
SL
)
The system skips any output channels which are not in
use (see
'
Speaker Setup
'
).
When the hiss is sounding on a particular channel, the
on-screen menu indicates the corresponding input posi-
tion. You can now alter the value within the range
–10
to
+10
using the change buttons. You can immediately
hear the result of any change you make.
If you alter the volume, the hiss continues on that chan-
nel for a further two seconds before moving on to the
next channel. The input position then changes accord-
ingly.
You can override the automatic cycling process by se-
lecting a particular channel using the select buttons; you
can then adjust its level as you wish.
Take your time to set all the channels to give as even an
impression of volume as possible!
Note:
The hissing sound used for this is not suitable for as-
sessing bass volume; the volume of the subwoofer
channel can be adjusted in the menu point
'
Subwoofer
level
'
, which is part of the
'
Main Menu
'
.
The levels you set for each channel are stored for use
when the surround system has been selected, and ap-
plies to all surround modes.
