Yamaha HTR-5560 question

[swgiust]

Helping calibrate a system this weekend. Had trouble finding the speaker level adjustments on a Yamaha HTR-5560 reciever. I could adjust the center and the
surrounds, but could not find the mains. The right main is down almost 5db from
the left. Am I missing something or is this reciever not able to adjust the level on
the left and right mains?

Thanks for any help!!

Hmm, yeah, the ol' analog balance control (which I always preferred, but isn't practical for a 5 or 7 channel system). I believe bargainseeker is right, my RX-V795a had one of those...

One thing I hate about digital precision is the lack of physical contact/interaction with the gear.
It's just not the same...

Guys, appreciate the help. I am concerned that using the balance will shift the
imaging. Is it really doing the same thing as individual level controls would do?
If so, great, it's an easy solution.

If memory serves, didn't the older Yammies use an analog dial attached to digital circuitry/processing for the front main speaker balance?
Either way, it shouldn't affect your imaging, but it will require you to match the mains first, then level match the other speakers after.
Good luck.
