•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.

3Confirm 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.

Tip

•You can change the channel levels at any time by using EFFECT/CH SEL and +/– on the remote control. You can set two channel levels: one for DVD 5.1 CH and one for the listening modes.

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.

You can adjust the distance of each speaker in 0.5 feet increments.

3When you’re finished, press RETURN. You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Tip

•For best surround sound, make sure the surround back speakers are the same distance from the listening position.

Adjust the level of each speaker as the test tone is emitted.1

Note

1• 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.
