After the "SPEAKER" key (10)(30) was pressed seve-
ral times from standard mode, you enter the possible
settings for the type and size of the speakers used.
Every additional pressing of the "SPEAKER" key
(10)(30) advances to the setting for the next speaker
or group of speakers. The settings described below for
the currently selected speaker channel can be
changed using the rotating "PARAMETER" knob (1) or
the "SET" keys (31).
As „SMALL" speakers all speaker models without
nameable bass (frequencies below 80 Hz) playback
Front Speakers If the front speakers are able to transmit the complete audio frequency spectrum or
if no subwoofer will be installed, choose "L", otherwise choose "S".

ability are declared, irrespective their size. „LARGE"
speakers are all used speakers that have the ability to
playback low bass frequencies. No speaker
(„NONE") means that it is not used in the system. If,
for example, no rear surround speakers have been
installed, the required setting is „NONE".
A separate setting can not be made for the Rear
Centre channel. This channel is activated or deactivat-
ed together with the right and left rear channel.

CHANNEL-VOLUME-SETTING AND CHANNEL TEST
("CHANNEL" AND "TEST" KEYS)
In most cases the viewing/listening position must be
chosen in a way that the distances to the different
speakers are not equal. Additionally, efficiency of dif-
ferent speaker types varies, so that the experienced
volume level at identical signal at the speaker output
If one of the inputs "CD/AV1", "DVD/AV2" (sound connection set to analogue) or "XLR/AV4" is
selected, the speaker differences of the surround channels, the subwoofer and the centre channel (SL,
SC, SR, SW and CE) cannot be changed.
Only the volume of those channels active in the currently selected playback mode can always be
changed. See section "Sound playback modes ("MODE" key)". For example, the relative volume of
the rear centre channel can only be adjusted in the "DIG.EX", "DTS.EX" or "PLOGII" modes.
Also, it is impossible to adjust all channels deactivated by setting them to "N" using "SPEAKER"
(10)(30).
The test sound cannot be activated for the "CD/AV1", "DVD/AV2" inputs (sound connection set to
analogue) or the "XLR/AV4" and "6.1CHANNEL" inputs. The "TEST" (27) is also impossible if the
audio playback mode was set to "STEREO".
Ensure that the volume is set to a low level. Select a
preamplifier input, for which an audio playback mode
is adjustable, which supports all speaker channels
("CD/AV1", for example, with the digital sound con-
nection selected). Use the "MODE" key (7)(26) to
select an audio playback mode, which also supports
all speaker channels ("DIG.EX", for example).
Activate the Test sound by using the "TEST" key (27)

Adjust the volume so that the test sound can be heard
clearly. Check which speaker's volume has to be
changed in comparison to the front left channel. You
can now remove the difference in volume of the requi-
site audible channel using the rotating "PARAMETER"
knob (1) on the unit or the "SET" keys. The signals of
the individual channels can be raised or lowered by a

"TEST" key (27) again. The adjustment process can
also be carried out without the test sound.
Repeatedly pressing the "CHANNEL" key (8)(33)
scrolls through the speaker channels. The values can
be adjusted using the "PARAMETER" knob (1) or the
"SET" keys (31) as already described.
