Adjusting the speaker volume
The test tone feature lets you set the volume of your
rear speakers and/or center speaker to the same level
as that of the front speakers to maximize the Dolby
Pro Logic Surround effect. (If all of your speakers are
equal in performance, you don’t have to adjust the
speaker volume.)
Using the controls on the remote, you can adjust the
volume level from wherever you’re listening.

(see the table on this page).

You will hear a test tone (see this page) from each
speaker sequentially.

test tone from each speaker sounds the same from
where you are listening.

What is a test tone?
A test tone is a signal that is produced by the receiver and used to
adjust speaker volume. The test tone is output from speakers in
the following two ways:
• When NORMAL, WIDE, or 3CH LOGIC mode is selected
The test tone is output from the front L (left), center, front R
(right), and rear speakers (except for 3CH LOGIC mode) in
succession.
3CH LOGIC
NORMAL/WIDE
• When PHANTOM mode is selected
The test tone is output from the front and the rear speakers
alternately.

See the table on page 28 for information on the output of the test
tone for sound fields other than PRO LOGIC.
