control. The speaker output level calibration process compen-
sates for any characteristics of your room or loudspeakers,
and it is recommended that you leave the settings as they
are after you have completed Initial Setup. However, you may
manually adjust the levels of the left and right channels –
decreasing one and increasing the other by the same amount
– using the Channel Adjust submenu, as described in the
Advanced Functions section. This achieves the same effect
as a balance control.
