Gain Settings
You may want to make this setting if you connected this player
to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs.
Under the default setting, all channels are output at the
relative volumes they were recorded at. Change the setting to
[Variable] if you want to adjust the relative volume levels of
any of the speakers. Adjustment is in the range of -6dB to
in steps of
When set to [Variable], the overall output level may sound
quieter than when set to [Fix]. This is not a malfunction.
Settings:
Fix
(Factory setting)
Variable

Press the cursor button
to display the Test Tone screen
To help you gauge the correct gain levels, set the [Test Tone]
to [On] (test tone from just that speaker) or [Auto] (test tone
from each speaker in turn, excluding the subwoofer) then
adjust the gain so that all speakers appear to be the same
volume from your listening position.
Follow the on-screen displays to select speakers and set the
channel levels.
Press the cursor (
A
) to select [Test Tone], then press the left
cursor button (4) to select the Gain Settings.
l
You can adjust the [Test Tone] setting only when the player
is stopped.
l
Many AV amplifiers allow you to make similar settings at the
amplifier stage. In this case, set the channel levels at the
player or the amplifier, not both.
As the test tone plays through a speaker, its name is
highlighted in yellow on-screen.

Setting this to [On] increases CD audio quality by bypassing
certain audio circuits in the player that audio signal would
otherwise pass through. However, this must be set to [Off] for
proper playback of DTS encoded CDs.

If this setting is set to [On] when a DTS CD is playback, noise is
