The unit outputs test tone from each channel in turn at the
specified level for each channel.
< Test tone at very high levels may not be good for your
speakers. Make sure the level of your system is turned down
to a reasonable level before carrying out this operation.
< Test tone from subwoofer may be nearly inaudible. Check the
level of subwoofer using source material containing low
frequency sound.
< The unit won’t output test tone when “i.60958” is selected.
Select “i.PCM” to use test tone (see page 42).
< The unit won’t output test tone when an SACD disc is (or had
been) loaded. In this case, remove the disc, turn the unit off
and on, and try again.
2. Adjust the levels and continue using the test tone as
necessary until you are happy with the balance.

digital signals are converted, and output at 48kHz or
44.1kHz. Use this if your amplifier does not have
96kHz/88.2kHz capability.
Note that even when downsampling is turned off, some discs
are automatically downsampled to 48kHz or 44.1kHz.
Also note that even when downsampling is turned off, all
discs with sampling frequencies of 192kHz or 176.4kHz are
always downsampled to 96kHz or 88.2kHz respectively.
