To help you fine tune your speakers
levels, a Test Tone generator is provided
which sends a neutral “white noise” for
~5 seconds to each speaker.
1. Press the TEST TONE button.
2. The Test signal will be sent to the Left
Front, Center, Right Front, Right Rear,
Left Rear and Subwoofer, in that
order.
3. While the Test signal is playing, use
the VOLUME +/– keys or VOLUME
knob to fine-tune your levels.
4. Press the TEST TONE button again to
cancel.

1. Measure the distance from your front
speakers to your primary listening area
(e.g., 10 feet)
2. Measure the distance from your center
speaker to your primary listening area
(e.g., 7 feet) and your rear speakers to
your primary listening area (e.g., 4 feet).
3. Calculate the difference between these
two distances (10-7=3 feet, and 10-4= 6
feet).
4. Assuming 1 MS (millisecond) delay for
every foot of distance, calculate the
proper delay, e.g. 3 MS for the center
delay and 6 MS for the rear delay.
