Adjusting Bass and Treble (Tone Control)
You can use BASS +/– or TREBLE +/– buttons to adjust the low and high frequencies for each individual set of
speakers. If the receiver is in STEREO mode you can only adjust the FRONT speakers. In a surround mode
(STANDARD, ADVANCED THEATER, etc.) you can adjust the FRONT, CENTER, SURROUND and SURROUND
BACK speakers. The TONE button can also be used to bypass the tone circuitry (See p.22).
