Adjusting the speaker balance
This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center and surround speakers by using the
built-in test tone generator. Make this adjustment so that each speaker output level is about the same when heard at the
listening position. This is important for high performance of the built-in DSP (Digital Sound field Processor), the Dolby Digital
decoder and the DTS decoder.
If this unit is set to the “Virtual 3D” mode (the surround speakers are not used) in the Application Software, you can adjust the
sound output levels of the speakers in the sound field of the “Virtual 3D” mode (including two virtual surround speakers).
Refer to “Setting adjustment on the Setup panel” on page 27. This setting cannot be made by using the front panel controls or
the remote control.)
