Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System
Adjusting the speaker level
Use the remote while seated in your listening
position to adjust the level of each speaker.
Note
The receiver incorporates a new test tone with a
frequency centered at 800 Hz for easier speaker level
adjustment.
1
Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.
2
Press TEST TONE on the remote.
You will hear the test tone from each
speaker in sequence.
3
Adjust the LEVEL parameters so that
the level of the test tone from each
speaker sounds the same when you are
in your main listening position (page
71).
4
Press TEST TONE again to turn off the
test tone.
To output the test tone from a
selected speaker
Use the LEVEL menu to set “TEST TONE” to
“FIX” (page 41). The test tone is output only
from the selected speaker.
For more precise speaker level
adjustment
You can output the test tone or sound source
from two adjacent speakers to adjust balance,
phase, and equalization. Set the SET UP menu
to test tone (T.TONE) and select the sound to
be output (test tone or sound source) (page 50).
Then, select the test tone parameter from the
the LEVEL menu to select the two speakers
you want to adjust (page 41).
Tips
• You can adjust the level of all speakers at the same
time. Turn MASTER VOLUME on the main unit or
press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote.
• You can use the jog dial on the receiver for the
adjustment.
Notes
• The adjusted value are shown in the display during
adjustment.
• Although these adjustments can also be made via
the front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the
test tone is output, the receiver switches to the
LEVEL menu automatically), we recommend you
follow the procedure described above and adjust the
speaker levels from your listening position using the
remote.
• When you select analog audio using the MULTI/
2CH ANALOG DIRECT button, the power of the
digital circuits is turned off.* Therefore, when you
output the test tone in this setting, it requires a few
seconds to output the test tone. However, this is not
a malfunction.
* When “D.POWER” is set to “AUTO OFF” in the
SET UP menu.

If you do not obtain normal sound output after
performing this procedure, see
