Surround Modes
The test tone is used to cali-
brate the volume settings of
the speakers. A static noise
will be heard cycling, in
order, from the front left,
center, right, and both sur-
round speakers.
Using the remote control,
adjust the Center and
Surround levels until the vol-
ume of all the speakers is the
same during the test.
Note:
The test tone is used
to calibrate the performance
of the system. When listening
to an actual recording, the
volume level of the surround
channels is generally much
lower than that of the front
channels. In fact, when lis-
tening to a movie, virtually
all of the dialogue and a sub-
stantial amount of the effects
are reproduced through the
center channel.
