Adjusting the Surround Sound Effect
The surround processor requires the following two adjustments to produce the maximum
surround sound effect:
* center channel level and rear channel level
¢ delay time
NOTE: With conventional surround processors, you must adjust the input signal
balance. The RX-SO9TN, however, adjusts this balance automatically. When you
set the center mode to “OFF” , you can check the effect of this automatic balancing.
After selecting “PRO LOGIC” program, make adjustment as follows:
Step 1 Press the TEST button.
The test tone will move clockwise from speaker to speaker.
Step 2 Adjust the center channel level using the CENTER LEVEL buttons. Adjust the rear
channel level using the REAR LEVEL buttons.
You can adjust these levels in 2 dB units within a range of +20 dB. The sound levels
of the left and right speakers should be the same.
Step 3 Press the TEST button.
The test tone will cease.
NOTES:
¢ If “PHANTOM” is selected as the center channel mode, the CENTER LEVEL button
is disabled.
¢ When you are not using rear speakers, you can adjust the center channel level after
selecting “3CH LOGIC” program. In this case, the REAR LEVEL button is dis-
abled.
¢ Itis covenient to use the remote while sitting in your listening position.
Use the DELAY TIME buttons to compensate for variations in the distance between your
listening position and different sets of speakers. Delay time can be set in 3 steps.
“DELAY-1” When the distance to your surround speakers is greater than the distance to
your main speakers.
“DELAY-2” When the distance to your surround speakers is almost equal to the distance
to your main speakers.
“DELAY-3” When the distance to your surround speakers is less than the distance to your
main speakers.
NOTE: You can customize the “DELAY TIME” settings for “HALL” program.
