Adjusting the Speaker Volume Level
The default settings of the Speakers are suitable for most conditions.
However, depending on room conditions or listening position, you may
need to adjust the Speaker volume level, especially when changing
speaker or furniture position.
This adjustment is important because it brings out the maximum effect of
the DSP Program, and faithfully reproduces the acoustic personalities of
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS.
Even after performing the test tone, you may still like to adjust the
speaker volume level for some sources. In this case see page 60,
“Adjusting the Speaker Volume Level During Playback”.
• You cannot adjust the volume level while connected to headphones. To adjust, disconnect
your headphones.
Adjust the volume so that it is the same for each speaker
from your listening position.
• To adjust the sound, use the Remote Control from your listening
position.
Press AMP.
Press TEST.

• If you raise the volume level of the Center and Surround L/R Speakers to + 10 dB and this is still less than the Front Speakers,
set the “* F. Level” in the SET MENU to -10 dB and lower the volume level of the Front Speakers by about 1/3. If you change
the volume level of the Front Speakers, adjust the volume level of the Center and Surround L/R Speakers once again.
Adjust the overall sound using the VOLUME +/-
so that you can hear the test tone.
The picture on the left shows the test tone order: LEFT
(Front L Speaker) → CENTER (Center Speaker) →
RIGHT (Front R Speaker) → R SUR. (Surround R
Speaker) → L SUR. (Surround L Speaker) →
SUBWOOFER (Subwoofer). Each speaker outputs sound
for about 2 seconds. The speaker currently outputting a
test tone appears in the CinemaStation Display.
While a test tone is outputting from the speaker
you want to adjust, press q or w and tune it to
the same volume level as the Front Speakers.
Only the speaker currently being adjusted produces a test
tone.
• While in test tone mode you cannot adjust the volume level of the
Front Speakers which serve as the standard. If you need to adjust the
volume level of the Front Speakers, press VOLUME +/-.
When adjustment is finished, press TEST.
The test tone stops.
Note
• If “* CENTER” in the SET MENU is set to “NON”, the Center Speaker signal is distributed to the Front L/R Speakers at the
same volume level and output. In this case, you cannot adjust the audio output level of the Center Speaker.
• If “* SUR”. in the SET MENU is set to “NON”, you cannot adjust the volume level of the Surround L/R Speakers. The test tone
skips the Surround L/R Speakers and continues its cycle.
• If “* BASS” in the SET MENU is set to “FRONT”, the test tone skips the Subwoofer and continues its cycle.
• The test tone for Subwoofer is different from the others, but this is not a defect.

Adjusting the Speaker Volume Level During Playback
• The volume level adjustment range is +10 dB to -10 dB.
• You cannot adjust the Left and Right Surround Speakers individually. The same adjustment level will be applied to both.
If the level adjusted during the sound test was different for Left and Right and one speaker was then tuned to a maximum of +10
dB or a minimum of -10 dB, the value cannot be adjusted any further up or down.
• We recommend that you first adjust the speaker balance with a test tone. See page 58, “Adjusting the Speaker Balance
with a Test Tone”.
• If you change the speaker volume level with the SW, CENTER or SURR buttons, the levels you adjust with the test tone also
change.
