Speaker Setup
a. Left
Sound comes from the front left speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
b. Center
Sound comes from the center speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
c. Right
Sound comes from the front right speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
d. Surr Right
Sound comes from the surround right speaker. Adjust the sound
level between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
e. Surr Bk R
Sound comes from the surround back right speaker. Adjust the sound
level between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
f. Surr Bk L
Sound comes from the surround back left speaker. Adjust the sound
level between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
Note:
If the Powered Zone 2 setting of the Speaker Config sub-menu is set
to “Activated,” then the Surr Bk R and Surr Bk L settings will not be
displayed.
g. Surr Left
Sound comes from the surround left speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
h. Subwoofer
Sound comes from the subwoofer. Adjust the sound level between –
15 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
Calibrating the speaker levels
(1) When this sub-menu is entered, the DTR-8.2 will emit a pink
noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the Master volume
automatically increases to the reference level (0dB). Remember
the level of this noise and then press the cursor button. (Note
that this can be adjusted to any level between –12 and 12
decibels in 1-decibel intervals.) The DTR-8.2 will now emit the
pink noise from the center speaker.
(2) Using the and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of the
noise from the center speaker so that it is the same level as the
front left speaker. You can jog back and forth between the
speakers to help you compare the volume levels.
(3) Press the cursor button again. The DTR-8.2 will now emit the
pink noise from the front right speaker.
(4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) above for the front right and other
speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume level.
Notes:
• Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker
Config sub-menu will not appear.
• To accurately set the output levels, it is recommended to use a
handheld sound pressure level (SPL) meter. Set the meter to C-
weighting and slow averaging. A Radio Shack
® SPL meter or
equivalent is recommended. Using the internal channel noise
generators, set each channel so that you read a 75 decibel sound
pressure level.
1-3. Level Calibration sub-menu
Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all
heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important
for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at different
distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs and
configurations. These settings and the distance settings performed
above are vital to create the proper acoustics required for the
optimum sound space and dynamics.
Note:
The speaker level settings here are not effective for multichannel
input sources. To adjust the speaker levels for multichannel input
sources, you will need to use the CH Sel, + and – buttons on the
USR-5 remote controller. See page 55.
