How To Adjust Tone & Sub Output Without The Remote?
Hi,
I bought a Sony STR-DG500 receiver locally that didn't have a remote. I didn't think it would matter, until I got it hooked up. It sounds very flat, the tone controls must have reverted to the flat position while it was unplugged, and I can't find a way to adjust them without buying a brand new remote that costs more than the receiver did...
Can you please offer any suggestions? Is there a way to access the menu functions somehow using the front panel buttons?
Thank you very much!
