Test Tone / Channel balance
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator
for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from
channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each
channel plays at the same loudness level.
Level adjustment & surround channel
level expectation
Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as
loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on
actual program material the surround channel is usually
much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to
readjust the surround level; program producers use
surround mostly for subtle atmospheric and ambience,
and only rarely for special effects. A good surround mix
doesn't call attention to itself; if it did, it would soon
become distracting.
Using Headphones
To listen privately through your
audio system, use the PHONES jack
on the receiver. However, make sure
you turn down the volume before
you put on the headphones. Increase
the volume to the desired level after
headphones are in place.
Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE DOWN
MIX 2 CHANNEL” will scroll on display. This feature
automatically converts multi-channel speaker outputs to
2 channel stereo for your listening pleasure.
Hearing Comfort & Well-Being
• Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
volume or discontinue use.
