Speaker Calibration

Speaker calibration allows you to equalize the volume levels of each speaker to make up for differences in

speaker characteristics and distances from the listener to the speakers. For best results it is important that you

perfor m this calibration when you initially install your rec eiver, whenever you change speak ers, and whenever you

rearrange your listening area. You may use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) m eter to perf orm this calibration or j ust

use your ears. If you do it by ear you may wish to go through the speakers several times. Sit or place the SPL

meter in your norm al listening spot. Check that you are in the SETUP MENUS and that your rem ote is in AUDIO

mode. Note that if you have turned a speak er OFF in the SPEAKER SIZE SETUP menu then you will not be able

to select that speaker in the SPEAKER CALIBRATION menu. Also note that the VOL on the remote will not

function in this menu.
