Page 10: Antenna Connections
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement. -
Page 11: Speaker Balance Adjustment
SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in test tone generator. With this adjustment, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor. - Page 12 Select the center channel output mode according to your speaker configuration. (Refer to “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” on page 6.) CENTER MODE On the feature of each mode, refer to the “Note” shown below. Note In step 7, when you select the center channel output mode, note the following.
- Page 13 Adjust the BALANCE control so that the effect sound output level of the left front speaker and the right front speaker are the same. BALANCE Adjust the sound output level of the center speaker to be at the same level as that of the front speakers with the CENTER LEVEL control.

Keep in mind that some of these are precise digital recreations of actual acoustic environments. The data for them was recorded at actual places using sophisticated sound field measurement equipment.
- Page 23 To play a source with the digital sound field processor Follow steps 1 – 6 shown in “BASIC OPERATIONS” on page 14. Turn the DSP on, so that a program name appears on the display. EFFECT Select the desired program that is suitable for the source.
