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.

2
Press TEST TONE on the remote.
“T. TONE” appears in the display and 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.

level of speakers. For details on the LEVEL
menu, see pages 27 and 28.
While adjusting, the test tone is output from
the speaker whose adjustment is performed.

test tone.
Tip
You can adjust the level of all speakers at the same
time. Turn MASTER VOLUME on the main unit or

Notes
• The test tone cannot be output when the receiver is
set to MULTI CH IN (STR-DE585 and
STR-DE485 only).
• 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.
