6: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance
� TEST TONE
Adjust the speaker levels and balance while listening the test tone from your listening position. Use the remote for the operation. For details on the remote operation, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the remote.
Tip

The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker cannot be set more that 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the front speakers. Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set farther away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer. This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound. Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away. For example, setting the center speaker distance 1�2 meters (3�6 feet) closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being �inside� the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger sound stage. Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!

The receiver employs a test tone with a frequency centered at 800 Hz.
