2 SETTINGS AND TESTING THE VOLUME OF THE
SPEAKER CHANNELS
In most cases the viewing/listening position must be chosen in a way that the distances to the different spea-
kers are not equal. Additionally, efficiency of different speaker types varies, so that the experienced volume level
at identical signal at the speaker output can be very different. This can reduce or undo the „surround" effect of
films. To avoid that, every speaker channel is separately adjustable in volume level.
If „5.1 CH INPUT" has been selected, these settings can not be changed.
If a source input channel with stereo audio format (CD, AUX1, AUX2, TUNER) has been
selected, the volume level differences of the rear channels and the center channel (LS, RS und CEN)
can not be changed.
Settings for speaker channels that are defined „NONE" or „N" in the „SPEAKER" (6)(39) menu can
not be changed.
If a source input with digital audio („OPTICAL" und „COAXIAL" (14)) has been selected, volume level
differences of the rear channels and the center channel (LS, RS und CEN) can not be changed when
a PCM stereo signal has been detected by the receiver or if one of the stereo-based sound playback
modes („STEREO", „3STEREO" and „PROLOGIC") has been selected.
Make sure the system volume level is at a low value. Activate the test sound using the „TEST" button (47)
while staying at your favourite viewing/listening position in the room. A hissing noise can be heard
changing through all used speaker channels that have not been deactivated in the „SPEAKER" (6)(39)
settings menu. Check which speaker channel volumes, compared with the front left channel, have to be
increased or decreased.
Press „TEST" (47) to deactivate the test sound. Press „CHANNEL" (5)(36), repetitive use changes the set-
tings display through all selectable speaker channels. Using the knob „MULTI CONTROL" (9) at the front
panel or the „SET" buttons (38) on the remote control, you can now eliminate differences in perceived
volume levels. Levels can be attenuated or amplified up to 10dB. Settings mode will be left if no input is
made for a few seconds. Check again, if all speaker channels have the same volume level at the listening
position. The following scheme shows the menu options:

All settings are „global", they have effect on all source input channels except „5.1 CH INPUT"
and in all sound playback modes.
