ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE DURING PLAYBACK
64
The speaker settings configured by YPAO (page 21) are suitable for most conditions. However, depending on room
conditions or listening position, you may need to adjust the speaker balance manually. This adjustment is important
because it brings out the maximum effect of the DSP program, and faithfully reproduces the acoustic characteristics of
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS. You can adjust the speaker balance using test tones or
playback source.

Since the following procedures base on the volume level of the front speakers, you cannot adjust the front speaker’s L/R balance with
these procedures. To adjust the L/R balance of the front speakers, refer to “Configuring Various Parameters (Set Menu)” (page 75).
• Disconnect the headphones from the SILENT CINEMA jack on the CinemaStation before starting the setup procedure.
• Adjust the speaker balance at your listening position with the remote control.

• The volume level adjustment range is –10 to +10 dB.
• If you raise the volume level of the center and/or surround L/R
speakers to +10 dB and this is still less than the front speaker,
set “F. Level” to –10 dB in the Set Menu (page 77) and carry out
this procedure again.
• If “CENTER” is set to “NON” in the Set Menu (page 77), you
cannot adjust the center speaker volume.
• If “SUR.” is set to “NON” in the Set Menu (page 77), you
cannot adjust the surround speaker volume.
• If “BASS” is set to “FRONT” in the Set Menu (page 77), you
cannot adjust the subwoofer volume.
• The test tone output from the subwoofer is different from the
others, but this is not a defect.
