Ok, I have a question about avr's. I had a problem with my sda 1b's and was looking at the troubleshooting guide in the vintage speakers section. I relize this is proably a old guide but it says to use your balance control to try to diagnose the problem. I have a denon 988 and do not have a balance control(didn' know this until now-never checked). I have fixed my problem(one out of phase) but was wondering has the balance control been eliminated and if so why. I relize that with 5 or 7 speakers the balance control is pretty much useless but what if i wanted to listen in 2 channel or if I could hear out of one ear better than the other wouldn't I still need a balance control. How would you work around this while trying to figure out your problem.

What problem are you trying to diagnosis that recommends using the balance control?
For a 'modern' avr - about the only thing you can do that would be close to a balance control is to go into the avr setup and reduce the volume on channel that seems louder in relation to the volume of all the other channels.
If your avr has memory settings, you could have different volume setups depending on what you are watching/listening to and save them. Then recall the saved setting for the 'mode' you want to listen in.
H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music. -
I have fixed my problem--one out of phase. If you look in the vintage speakers section under the sda schematics at the bottom there is a troubleshooting guide where it tells you to use your balance control. I no longer have a problem but was wondering if this has been eleminated on a modern avr and if so how would you work around this.
