Adjusting the speaker level
Use the remote while seated in your listening
position to adjust the level of each speaker.
Note
The receiver incorporates a new test tone with a
frequency centered at 800 Hz for easier speaker level
adjustment.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.
2 Press TEST TONE on the remote.
“T. TONE” appears in the display and you
will hear the test tone from each speaker in
sequence.
3 Adjust the LEVEL parameters so that
the level of the test tone from each
speaker sounds the same when you are
in your main listening position.
Press LEVEL to adjust the balance and
level of speakers. For details on the LEVEL
menu, see pages 27 and 28.
While adjusting, the test tone is output from
the speaker whose adjustment is performed.
4 Press TEST TONE again to turn off the
test tone.
Tip
You can adjust the level of all speakers at the same
time. Turn MASTER VOLUME on the main unit or
press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote.
Notes
The test tone cannot be output when the receiver is
set to MULTI CH IN (STR-DE585 and
STR-DE485 only).
The adjusted value are shown in the display during
adjustment.
Although these adjustments can also be made via
the front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the
test tone is output, the receiver switches to the
LEVEL menu automatically), we recommend you
follow the procedure described above and adjust the
speaker levels from your listening position using the
remote.
Checking the connections
After connecting all of your components to the
receiver, do the following to verify that the
connections were made correctly.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.
2 Turn on the component that you
connected (e.g., CD player or tape
deck).
3 Press the function button to select the
component (program source).
4 Start playing.
If you do not obtain normal sound output after
performing this procedure, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 49 and take the
appropriate measures to correct the problem.
