4 Press the MANUAL SELECT button again to stop
the noise signal.
The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a
noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all five channels.
The sequencer outputs a noise signal that “travels” from channel
to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to
achieve the same apparent loudness, at your listening position,
from each channel.
1 Select the Dolby Pro Logic mode according to
your current type and placement of the speakers.
(See page 15.)
2 Press the MANUAL SELECT button on the remote
control and hold it down for about two seconds
until “L” of “L/R OdB” starts to flash.
A noise signal is sent to each channel in turn as follows;
DOLBY PRO LOGIC NORMAL or WIDE mode

CEN OdB (Center speaker)

“L” or “R” flashes to indicate one of the front speakers from which
the noise signal is output.
The noise signal is output from the L and R surround speakers at
the same time.
When adjusting the speakers level balance of the Dolby Pro
Logic, those of the DSP and 5.1 CH modes are also changed.
About the channels
The left and right speakers create the stereo effect.
The center speaker helps achieve precise sound positioning
over a broad sound field.
The rear-mounted surround speakers enhance the “depth” of
the sound field.
To change the surround speakers delay time of the Doiby
Pro Logic mode
The surround speakers reproduce sounds a split second after
the front speakers. The delay is initially set to 20 ms
(milliseconds).
To change this standard delay time, press the MANUAL SELECT
button on the remote control repeatedly so that “TIME20mS” is
displayed. Then, press the UP or DOWN button. Each time one
of the buttons is pressed, the delay time changes as shov/n
below.
