Test Tone / Channel balance
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator
for balancing the channels, As the signal "travels"
from channel to channel, adjust the level controls
until each channel plays at the same loudness level.

Level adjustment & surround channel level
expectation
Even though you adjust the surround channel to be
as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find
that on actual program material the surround chan-
nel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be
tempted to readjust the surround level; program pro-
ducers use surround mostly for subtle atmospherics
and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A
good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if
it did, it would soon become distracting.
