    SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT This operation uses an internal test-tone generator for balancing the levels of the main, center, rear and front effect speakers. The adjustment of each speaker output level should be done at your listening position with the remote control unit. Otherwise, the result may not be satisfactory.
  • Page 36 NOTE: If there is insufficient volume from the effect speakers, you may decrease the main speaker volume level by setting the MAIN LEVEL switch on the rear panel to “–10 dB”, and adjust each speaker level again. Volume controls on external power amplifiers may also be adjusted if necessary to achieve proper balance.
