also routed to the subwoofer). If you did not

Note
1 If you can’t get good bass results, listen to the bass response with the subwoofer set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers
set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option
is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.
2 For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker setting on page 33.
3 After the volume increases to the reference level, test tones will be output.
4 • If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and adjust the level
of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).
• The subwoofer test tone is output at low volumes. You may need to adjust the level after testing with an actual soundtrack.
• You can change the channel levels at any time by pressing
RECEIVER first and then starting the following operations:
CH SELECT and CH SELECT +/– on the remote control. You can also change the channel levels by pressing RECEIVER first and
then
TEST TONE. In this case, use the / buttons to select the channel and use the / buttons to adjust the level.
