Changing the Channel Level
The default channel level settings for each speaker is set to
0 dB . You can adjust the sound level for each speaker to
suit the listening area in your home. For example, if you are
closer to the left front speaker than to the right front speaker, the
left front speaker might seem “louder” than the right one. To
adjust it, you must change the channel level for one or both
speakers until the proper balance is achieved
