• You can increase the output levels of the effect speakers
(center, left rear, right rear and rear center) to +10 dB. If the
output level of these speakers is lower than that of the main
speakers even after you have increased the output level of these
speakers up to +10 dB, set “1F MAIN LEVEL” on the SET
MENU to –10 dB (see page 43). This setting decreases the
main speaker output level to about one-third of the normal
level. After you have set “1F MAIN LEVEL” on the SET
MENU to –10 dB, adjust the levels for the center, rear and rear
center speakers again.
