Configuring the speakers (DTR-5.4)

Calibrating the speaker levels

Use this menu to set the volume for each speaker so that each volume is heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at different distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs and configurations. These settings and the distance settings performed in the Speaker Distance menu are vital to create the proper sound space and dynamics.

Note:

The speaker level settings here are not effective for multi-channel input sources. To adjust the speaker levels for multi-channel input sources, you will need to use the CH Sel, Level , and Level buttons on the remote controller.

1. Use the and cursor buttons to select “4. Level Calibration” on the main menu and then press the ENTER button.

The “Level Calibration” menu appears.

Press the Setup button on the front panel or on the remote controller button to exit the Setup menu.

You will hear a pink noise which will be emitted from the front left speaker.

(1)Remember the volume level of this noise and then press the CH Sel button. The DTR-5.4 will now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.

(2)Using the Level / buttons, adjust the volume level of the noise from the center speaker so that it is at the same level as that was emitted from the front left speaker.

(3)Press the CH Sel button again. The DTR-5.4 will now emit the pink noise from the front right speaker.

Use the Level / buttons to adjust the volume of the noise from the front right speaker so that it is the same level as that was emitted from the center speaker.

(4)Use the CH Sel button to select other speakers and adjust the

volumes until all speakers are adjusted to the same level.

The pink noise level can be adjusted to anywhere between –12 and +12 decibels for all speakers in 1-decibel increments. For subwoofer, values between –15 and +12 dB can be set.
