woofer.) You can also adjust the
balance between speakers.
2CH SWAP* You can adjust the speaker levels while
listening to the source (not the test
tone). Turn on the connected
component, start playback, then turn

(except when connected to the MULTI
CH IN jacks). The sound for the front
L/R speakers is output from the
surround R/L speakers. You can adjust
the level of surround speakers from the
listening position.

the level of the test tone from each
speaker sounds the same when you are
in your main listening position.
Press LEVEL to adjust the balance and
level of speakers. For details on the LEVEL
menu, see page 35.
While adjusting, the test tone is output from
the speaker whose adjustment is performed.

Press TEST TONE again to turn off the
test tone.
Tips
• You can adjust the level of all speakers at the same
time. Turn MASTER VOLUME on the main unit or
press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote.
• In step 3, you can select the mode using the jog dial
on the receiver.
Notes
• The adjusted value are shown in the display during
adjustment.
• Although these adjustments can also be made via
the front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the
test tone is output, the receiver switches to the
LEVEL menu automatically), we recommend you
follow the procedure described above and adjust the
speaker levels from your listening position using the
remote.
