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.
You can set the levels of front speakers A and front
speakers B independently. The other speakers (i.e.,
subwoofer, center, surround, surround back and front
high) use the same level settings for Speakers A and
Speakers B.

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

Note

• These settings cannot be calibrated when the AV receiver is

muted.

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

“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (

page 52

).

• 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.

• Speakers B cannot be selected if “Speakers Type(Front B)” is

set to “No” (

page 51

).

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

page 43

).

*2

If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “1ch”, this setting cannot
be selected (

page 52

).

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.
The Equalizer settings only apply to Speakers A and
cannot be adjusted while Speakers B is selected.
