Getting Started

Test Tone / Channel balance

Channel balance

Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for
balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from chan-
nel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel
plays at the same loudness level.
Please refer to “Fine setting your speaker” section for more
details.

Level adjustment & surround channel level
expectation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud
as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on actual
program material the surround channel is usually much
lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the sur-
round level; program producers use surround mostly for
subtle atmosphereics and ambience, and only rarely for
special effects. A good surround mix doesn't call attention
to itself; if it did, it would soon become distracting.

Using Headphones

To listen privately through your
audio system, use the PHONES jack
on the receiver. However, make sure
you turn down the volume before
you put on the headphones.
Increase the volume to the desired
level after headphones are in place.

Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE DOWNMIX
2 CHANNEL” will scroll on display. This feature automatical-
ly converts multi-channel outputs to 2 channel stereo for
your listening pleasure.

Hearing Comfort & Well-Being

• Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue use.
