Changing Balance and Fade on the DCP501
You can define the balance between left and right speakers, and between front and rear
speakers with the balance and fade settings. Balance and fade settings should only be used to
perform minor adjustments to the sound playback once the Speaker Test Tone Adjust has been
conducted. This must be performed while sitting at the listening position. Balance/fade
adjustments can reduce the maximum volume of the DCP501.
Balance and fade on the DCP501 are adjusted by attenuating the opposite set of channels. For
example, if you want the balance all the way to the right, the DCP501 and the on-screen display
show
B A L A N C E : L - 2 0
. Balance all the way to the left reads
B A L A N C E : R - 2 0
. The factory
setting is
