SURROUND
Before playing with the surround function
Before playing with the surround function, be sure to use the test tones to adjust the playback level from the different speakers. This adjustment
can be performed with the system setup (see page 19) or from the remote control unit, as described below.
Adjusting with the remote control unit using the test tones is only possible in the “Auto” mode and only effective in the DOLBY SURROUND
modes. The adjusted levels for the different modes are automatically stored in the memory.

NOTES:

–12 dB.
When using the DIRECT mode, the sound from the subwoofer
can be cut by lowering the SW (subwoofer) setting one step
from –12 dB (setting it to “OFF”).
