Tips
• You can adjust the level of all speakers at the same
time. Turn MASTER VOLUME on the main unit or
press MASTER VOLUME +/– on the remote.

on the receiver.

• 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.
