ADJUSTING SPEAKER LEVEL BALANCE

The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a
noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all 4 channels.
The sequencer outputs a noise signal that “travels” from channel
to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to
achieve, at the listening position, the same apparent loudness
from each channel.
Use the remote control.
1 Press DOLBY PRO LOGIC to select “NORMAL”.
“NORMAL” is displayed.
If “PHANTOM” or “3 STEREO” is displayed, press DOLBY
PRO LOGIC repeatedly until “NORMAL” is selected.
To adjust the balance between the left and right front speakers,
see page 9. At this time, the DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode should
be canceled by pressing DOLBY PRO LOGIC until the “PRO­
OFF” is displayed.
4 Press MANUAL SELECT again to stop the noise
signal.
When the sequencer outputs a noise signal, a clicking sound
might be heard from the speakers due to the characteristics of
the circuit. This is not malfunction.
About the channels
The left and right front 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 delay time
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
MANUAL SELECT
on the remote control repeatedly until “TIME” is displayed. Then,
press
DOWN or ►► UP. Each time one of the buttons is
pressed, the delay time changes as shown below.
