the audio levels for each speaker channel. It will send a broad-band noise signal to
each channel that can be measured with a sound level meter or judged by ear from
the center listening position. The test starts in one channel and proceeds to the next
channel every two seconds. Begin by turning the main volume down. When using a
sound level meter you should raise the volume for an average level around 80dB.
Using the On Screen Display when playing the Test Tones provides a graphic
illustration that shows which speaker is being fed the tone. Testing proceeds through
the following sequence:
TEST L
TEST C
TEST R
TEST SR
TEST BR
TEST BL
TEST SL
TEST SW
Simply press the “TEST” key on the remote and the sequence of test tones will
automatically start and move from channel to channel. By using the down or up
arrows you can change each channel’s volume level +/- 10dB. Using the sound level
meter (or by ear) try to get all the channels as close to the same volume as possible in
the center listening position.
The Test Tones can also be accessed through the main MENU by scrolling to the
FUNCTION sub-menu and selecting “FUNC TEST”.
