To perform speaker calibration:

●Select CALIBRATION LEVEL. Adjust the calibration level so that the signal you hear is at a comfortable listening level (or reaches a preset level on an SPL meter).

●Select START. The signal will move round the loudspeakers in your system in a clockwise direction and will be indicated on the display.

KNEKT.

Notes:

If you are not using a UNIDISK player and wish to use the input(s) assigned to a UNIDISK player, enter the UNIDISK SOURCE menu and set ANALOG SOURCE and DIGITAL SOURCE* to NONE (see page 14).

The ANALOG GROUP uses the ANALOG 1, 2 and 3 inputs, therefore if a source is assigned to ANALOG GROUP you cannot also assign a source to ANALOG 1, 2 or 3. Conversely, if a source is assigned to ANALOG 1, 2 or 3, you cannot assign a source to

ANALOG GROUP.
