Channel Level
Using the channel level settings, you can adjust the overall
balance of your speaker system, an important factor when
setting up a home theater system.
1 Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.
2 Select ‘Channel Level’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.
3 Select a setup option.
• Manual – Move the test tone manually from speaker to
speaker and adjust individual channel levels.
• Auto – Adjust channel levels as the test tone moves from
speaker to speaker automatically.
4 Confirm your selected setup option.
The test tones will start after you press ENTER. After the
volume increases to the reference level, test tones will be
output.
5 Adjust the level of each channel using /.
If you selected Manual, use / to switch speakers. The
Auto setup will output test tones in the order shown on-
screen:
Adjust the level of each speaker as the test tone is emitted.
Note
• If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take
the readings from your main listening position and adjust
the level of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow
reading).
• The subwoofer test tone is output at low volumes. You
may need to adjust the level after testing with an actual
soundtrack.
6 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Speaker Distance
For good sound depth and separation from your system, you
need to specify the distance of your speakers from the
listening position. The receiver can then add the proper delay
needed for effective surround sound.
1 Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.
2 Select ‘Speaker Distance’ from the Manual SP Setup
menu.
3 Adjust the distance of each speaker using /.
You can adjust the distance of each speaker in 0.1 m
increments.
4 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
