Band” respectively.

cases:

➔ page 75 ).
– “HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” ( ➔ page 75 ) and

• 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.

by using the Quick Setup are saved in this menu (
➔ 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.
