Press
test tone
, and the test tone is heard
moving clockwise from speaker to speak-
er at 2 second intervals. The center chan-
nel display indicates the speaker under
test. The order should be left front, cen-
ter, right front, right rear and left rear. (No
test tone is heard from the
subwoofer. Adjust the subwoofer level
independently of the other channels
according to personal taste or to com-
pensate for the effects of room place-
ment). If the tone does not move contin-
uously from speaker to speaker then one
or more speakers is not connected to the
correct output on the subwoofer.
As the test tone rotates around the speakers,
you may notice that some speakers are louder
or softer than others. This is not due to any
defect, but to the difference in room acoustics
at different locations. The speaker levels
should be individually adjusted so they all
appear to have the same loudness at the lis-
tening position.
To adjust a specific speaker’s volume—
Press the button for the speaker you wish
to adjust. The display on the center chan-
nel speaker will indicate for the speaker
selected and the test tone will continue
to circulate.
Press the volume up or down button to
raise or lower the level of the selected
speaker. After 5 seconds, the function of
the volume button reverts to
Master
Volume
control.
Press
test tone
again to turn it off.
To adjust the subwoofer volume—
Press the subwoofer button (the display
indicates the subwoofer is undergoing
adjustment).
Press the volume button to raise or lower
the subwoofer level.
Even after calibrating the system, you may
want to adjust the loudness levels of the
center, satellite, or subwoofer channels to
personal taste. Speaker levels can be adjust-
ed at any time by selecting the speaker and
using the volume control.

Initial Setup – Test Tone
Before using the system, the relative speaker levels should be calibrated for optimum perform-
ance. This is easily accomplished by using the system’s built-in test tone to match the levels of the
front and rear channels. The
test tone
button on the remote control generates the test tone for
calibrating the speakers.
