• The setting mode is automatically exited if no
operation is performed within 20 seconds.
• There are several other settings that you can make
from the System Setup menu to further tailor your
surround sound. See chapter 9 for more on this.
• The speaker distance settings have no effect when the
surround mode is set to
VIR.SURR.1 or VIR.SURR.2.
See page 23 for more on surround modes.
You can’t make these settings with the Record mode on.
See page 25 for how to switch the Record mode on/off.
Balancing the surround sound
You can further improve surround sound performance
by balancing the levels from the subwoofer, center and
surround speakers relative to the front left/right
speakers. To help you judge the sound level of each
speaker a test tone is played through each speaker in
turn (make sure that there are no headphones
connected). Adjust the levels until they all sound equal.
The levels you set here will apply to all surround modes.
However, you can set levels independently for each DSP
mode.
It may not be possible to accurately adjust the
subwoofer level using this method. You may prefer to
leave it on its default setting and adjust it to your liking
later when playing surround-sound sources.
• You cannot change the DSP mode when Record
mode is active (see Direct recording on page 25).
1 Press SURROUND MODE.
The surround mode can be set to anything except
SURROUND OFF or AUTO (No test tone is output in
these modes.)
2 Set the volume to a moderate level.
3 Press TEST TONE (SHIFT & CH LEVEL) to
start the test tone then adjust the volume
to a suitable level.
The test tone plays through each speaker in turn:
• Front left
• Center
• Front right
• Surround right
• Surround left
• Subwoofer
4 Use the 5 and ∞ buttons to adjust the
level of a speaker as the test tone plays.
For best results, sit in your main listening position when
doing this. You can adjust each speaker in the range of
+/-10dB.
5 When you're done, press TEST TONE
(SHIFT & CH LEVEL) to turn off the test
tone.
