En
Initial Set up
When sounding the TEST TONE for the SURROUND BACK speakers you must use the external amplifier
you hooked up with your SURROUND BACK (see p. 4, 19, 21, 36-37) so the amplifier must be on and
have the volume turned up (VSX-859RDS only).
It is possible to set channels levels independently for
2
/dts/MPEG, STEREO, MULTI CHANNEL IN and
each DSP mode for listening-once purposes (see p. 48) but if you do so these levels will remain in
2
Surround/dts setup mode unless put back to zero. They will show up the display in step 3.
Note that it is also possible to set channel levels temporarily. Then follow the same procedure as ex-
plained on this page. This function is designed to be used when you want to change the levels temporarily
to raise the level of one channel. Using this method you can set speaker levels in different modes, such
as, STEREO, and each DSP mode, independently. You should return the settings to their original state
when done. Doing the set up procedures on this page will erase any temporary/independent level settings
that have been made.
