This explanation is for CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2.
1 Use  the 
 buttons to select 
CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2. Press 
ENTER.
2 Use  the 
 buttons to select ALL CH 
ADJUST or FRONT ALIGN and press 
ENTER.
The test tones will sound.
WARNING: the test tones are very loud!! Make sure 
there are no infants or small children in the room and that 
no one who will be scared, upset or damaged by loud 
noise is present. You yourself may want to wear earplugs.
Here the terms ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN 
represent two types of equalizer methods that emphasize 
different characteristics of the sound.
ALL CH ADJUST: In this method all the speakers 
(except for the subwoofer) are independent. The 
settings that were input when you did the AUTO 
SURROUND SETUP (see page 13) will be present 
but you can adjust each speaker individually to suit 
your taste. The test tones for each channel will 
sound individually.
FRONT ALIGN: In this method all speakers (except 
for the subwoofer) are set in accordance with the 
settings of the FRONT speakers. The settings that 
were input when you did the AUTO SURROUND 
SETUP (see page 13) will be present but you can 
adjust each speaker individually to suit your taste. 
This setting allows the listener to enjoy a sound 
balance defined by the front speakers. The front 
left speaker will serve as the reference tone. The 
front left tone and the target speaker (the one you 
are trying to adjust) will sound in turns, so you can 
judge which needs to be louder.
3 Use  the 
 buttons to select the 
channel that you want to adjust. 
Press ENTER.
For FRONT ALIGN you won’t be able to adjust the FRONT 
speakers.
4 Use  the 
 buttons to select the 
frequency you want to adjust. Press 
ENTER.
For the speakers you set to SMALL (see page 39) you 
won’t be able to adjust the 63 Hz setting.
