CHANNEL LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS:
A properly setup Home Theater Surround Sound System
should have all Loudspeaker levels adjusted to the same
starting reference volume level in the Listening/Viewing
Area. The MVP861 includes a built-in test signal generator,
which can have its output switched into each Loudspeaker
manually or automatically. The desired test signal volume
levels of each Loudspeaker can be determined, in the Lis-
tening/Viewing Area, either by listening or with a sound
pressure meter. Level adjustments are made in small steps
(1dB) by using the MVP861 Remote Control Up
or
Down directional Push-buttons. The level can be ad-
justed over a 10dB range.
Note: Before performing the Loudspeaker Level
adjustments, you must first have completed the
Loudspeaker Size adjustments.
1. Use the Down directional Push-button to select
CHANNEL LEVEL followed by pressing the SELECT
Push-button on the Remote Control. Refer to figures 28

2. Use the Down directional Push-button to select
TEST TONE then press the Right or Left direc-
tional Push-buttons to select the MANUAL Selection
Mode of operation. Refer to figures 30 and 31.
Note: The procedure used for making the Loudspeaker
Level Adjustments is similar for both the Manual
and Automatic Modes. The only difference is, in the
Manual Mode the selection of the Loudspeaker is
performed by using the Up
or Down
directional Push-buttons before adjustments are
made. In the Automatic Mode, the MVP861 will
switch to the next Loudspeaker three seconds after
user adjustments have stopped. Refer to figures 32
