ADJUSTING SPEAKER LEVEL
BALANCE
The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a
noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all five channels.
The sequencer outputs a noise signal that "travels" from channel
to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to
achieve the same apparent loudness, at your listening position,
from each channel.
1 Select the Dolby Pro Logic mode according to
your current type and placement of the speakers.
(See page 18.)
2 Press the MANUAL SELECT button on the remote
control and hold it down for about two seconds
until "L" of "L/R OdB" starts to flash.

About the channels
The left and right speakers create the stereo effect.
The center speaker helps precise sound positioning over a
broad sound field.
The rear-mounted surround speakers enhance the "depth" of
the sound field.
To change the surround speakers delay time of the Dolby
Pro Logic mode

the front speakers. The delay is initially set to 20 ms
(milliseconds).
To change this standard delay time, press the MANUAL SELECT
button on the remote control repeatedly so that "TIME20mS'" is
displayed. Then, press the "A or \V button or turn the MULTI
