described in "Placing speakers" (page 9) and
"Checking if the sound comes from all
speakers" (page 14) before you customize a
sound field.

Tips
• To make more precise adjustment, start playing a
source encoded with multi channel surround effects
(DVD, etc.), then adjust the level and balance while
listening to the source.
• The system employs a test tone with a frequency
centered at 800 Hz.
• You can adjust the level of all speakers at the same
time. Turn MASTER VOLUME on the control
center or press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote.
Notes
• The front balance, surround balance, center level,
surround level, and subwoofer level are shown in
the display during adjustment.
• To enjoy the better sound quality, do not turn the
volume of the subwoofer too high.
