Level Calibration

Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the
built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the
same at the listening position.

`

–15.0dB to 0.0dB to +12.0dB in 0.5 dB steps.

Note

• These settings cannot be calibrated in either of the following

cases:
– a pair of headphones is connected.
– the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (

page 58).

– “HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” (

page 57) and

you’re listening through your TV speakers.

– the AV receiver is muted.

• Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the

“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (

page 46).

• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX, which is

0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen at
volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will
be much louder.

For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made
by using the Home menu are saved in this menu
(

page 40).

Tip

• If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of

each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening position,
measured with C-weighting and slow reading.

Equalizer Settings

With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of
speakers individually with a 7-band equalizer. The volume
of each speaker can be set.
