LOUDSPEAKER VOLUME LEVEL
A properly setup Home Theater Surround Sound Sys- tem should have all Loudspeaker levels adjusted to the same starting reference volume level in the Listening/ Viewing Area. The MVP851 includes a built-in test signal generator, which can have its output switched into each Loudspeaker automatically. The desired test signal volume levels of each Loudspeaker can be deter- mined, in the Listening/Viewing area, either by listen- ing or with a sound pressure meter. Level adjustments are made in small steps (1 dB) by using the MVP851 Remote Control Up or Down directional Push- buttons. The level can be adjusted over a plus or minus 6dB range.
Note: The Speaker Level Icons will disappear for any channel(s) that have been switched off in the Loudspeaker Size Adjustments.
1.Use the Directional Push-buttons to highlight the Test Button Icon.
2.Press the SELECT Push-button to start the Loud- speaker Volume Level Adjustment Process. Refer to figure 32.
Starting with Left Front Loudspeaker First, the test sig- nal will start cycling continuously through all the ac- tive Loudspeakers in 2-second intervals. Refer to fig- ure 33. During the cycling process the On-Screen Icon will illuminate for the Loudspeaker that the sound is emanating from. When it stops on a active Loud- speaker (with the exception of the Left & Right Front Loudspeaker which serve as the system refer volume level) an adjustment in volume level up or down is possible. If an adjustment is made on a Loudspeaker, there is an additional 2-second time interval before the system switches to the next Loudspeaker. As a level is changed, the On-Screen Icon display instantly indi- cates the level change. As the test signal switches to succeeding Loudspeakers, repeat the level adjustment process until the test signal volume levels of all the Loudspeakers are the same.
3. When the Test Signal stops on the Center Channel Loudspeaker use the Up or Down directional Push-buttons to adjust the volume level to the same volume as the Left Front Loudspeaker that was just on. Refer to figure 34.
Note: This procedure is best performed from the Listening/Viewing Area. A sound level pressure meter will greatly aid in adjusting the Loudspeaker Levels.
4.In a similar manner adjust the volume levels for the remaining active Loudspeakers in the system.
