Test Tone / Channel balance
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator
for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels"
from channel to channel, press LEVEL key to adjust
corresponding channel and adjust by rotating the
volume knob until all channels are at the same loud-
ness level.
Level adjustment & surround channel level expec-
tation
Even though you adjust the surround channel to be
as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find
that on actual program material the surround chan-
nel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be
tempted to readjust the surround level; program pro-
ducers use surround mostly for subtle atmosphereics
and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A
good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if
it did, it would soon become distracting.
Connecting for Power
Make sure you connect all your other electronic com-
ponents and the
speakers before plug-
ging your receiver
into the outlet. Plug
the power cord in
the wall outlet,
matching the wide
blade of the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Be
sure to insert the plug completely.
Using Headphones
To listen privately through your
audio system, use the PHONES jack
on the receiver. However, make
sure you turn down the volume
before you put on the head-
phones. Increase the volume to the
desired level after headphones are in place.
Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE
DOWNMIX” will scroll on display. This feature auto-
matically converts multi-channel speaker outputs to 2
channel stereo for your listening pleasure.
Hearing Comfort & Well-Being
• Do not play your headset at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous extended
play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
volume or discontinue use.
