Speaker Levels
You can set the volume level of each speaker so that all
speakers can be heard equally at the listening position.
Note:
• These settings cannot be adjusted while a pair of head-
phones is connected, speaker set B is on, or the AV
receiver is muted.
• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX,
which is 0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you nor-
mally listen at volume settings below this, be careful
because the test tone will be much louder.
• Adjust the level control of the subwoofer to the
“THX” position before calibrating this system.
1 Press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE
MODE button, followed by the
[SETUP] button.
The main menu appears onscreen.
If the main menu doesn’t appear, make
sure the appropriate external input is
selected on your TV.
2 Use the Up and Down [ ]/[ ]
buttons to select “2. Speaker
Setup,” and then press [ENTER].
3 Use the Up and Down [ ]/[ ]
buttons to select “3. Level Cali-
bration,” and then press
[ENTER].
A pink noise test tone is output by the
front left speaker.
These settings are set automatically by the Automatic
Speaker Setup function (see page 42).
4 Turn up the volume so that you
can hear the test tone suffi-
ciently.
As each speaker outputs the test tone,
its name appears on the display.
If you’re using a handheld sound level
meter, adjust the level of each speaker
so it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening
position, measured with C-weighting
and slow reading.
5 Use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ]
buttons to adjust the speaker
level, and use the Down [
] but-
ton to select the next speaker.
The levels can be adjusted from –12 to
+12 dB in 1 dB steps (–15 to +12 dB
for the subwoofer).
6 Repeat step 5 so that the level of
the test tone coming from each
speaker is the same.
Speakers that you set to No in the
“Speaker Configuration” on page 81 do
not output the test tone.
7 Press the [SETUP] button.
Setup closes.
Don’t forget to turn down the volume if
you turned it up while setting the levels.
