You are now finished with the Basic Setup. Press the SETUP button to exit and return to normal operation. Balance Channel Levels For precise surround imaging, all 5 speakers in a 5. 1 system should play at equal volume levels. Even if all 5 high-range speakers are identical, some may be further away from the listening position than others, or be influenced by their surroundings. This difference will alter the level you hear from each speaker at the listening position. The AVS500 features a test tone to help calibrate the levels. You can adjust channel balance by ear, or you may use an inexpensive SPL meter such as Radio Shack #330-2050 for more precise adjustment. 21 OPERATION AND USE Playing DVD, VCD, SVCD, CD, JPEG Photo Disc or MP3 Music Files: Press the DVD key on the remote control.
