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
perform this calibration when you initially install your receiver, whenever you change speakers, and whenever you
rearrange your listening area. You may use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter to perform this calibration or just
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 normal listening spot. Check that you are in the SETUP MENUS and that your remote is in AUDIO
mode. Note that if you have turned a speaker 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.
