After the above settings are completed, press the ENTER button.
The “Channel Level” screen reappears.

To cancel the settings, select “Level Clear” and “Yes” on the “Channel Level” screen, then make the settings again.

The level of each channel should be adjusted to 75 dB (C-weighted, slow meter mode) on a sound level meter at the listening position.
If a sound level meter is not available adjust the channels by ear so the sound levels are the same. Because adjusting the subwoofer level test
tone by ear is difficult, use a well known music selection and adjust for natural balance.
NOTE:

When adjusting the level of an active subwoofer system, you may also need to adjust the subwoofer’s own volume control.

a. If the “Auto” mode is selected:

Test tones are automatically emitted from the different speakers.
The test tones are emitted from the different speakers in the
following order, at 4-second intervals the first time and second time
around, 2-second intervals the third time around and on:

Use the CURSOR buttons to adjust all the speakers to the same
volume.
The volume can be adjusted between –12 dB and +12 dB in units of
1 dB.

b. When the “Manual” mode is selected

Use the CURSOR left and right to select the speaker for which you

want to output test tones, then use the CURSOR up and down to

adjust so that the volume of the test tones from the various speakers

is the same.

Example: When the volume is set to –12 dB

while the test tone is being
produced from the subwoofer
