h. Surr Left

Use this sub-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 dis- tances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs and conﬁgurations. These settings and the distance set- tings performed in the Speaker Distance Sub-menu are vital for creating proper sound space and dynamics.

Quit:[SETUP]

•These settings cannot be made when the sound is muted, when you connect the headphones, and when you use multichannel playback.

•You cannot use the Master Volume dial while you perform the Level Calibration settings. These settings are inteded to bring sound levels between speakers into balance so as to obtain the proper sound space.

•This unit supports the THX format and the test tone is output at a standard 0 dB (the Absolute Volume value is 82). If you usually enjoy listening at a lower level than the test tone, be careful of the test tone’s sudden big sound. Note that the test tone will be output immediately after pressing the Enter button in step 1 below.

1 Use the and cursor buttons to select “3. Level Calibration” on the sub menu and then press the Enter button.

The “Level Calibration” menu appears.

You will hear a pink noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the volume of the pink noise will automatically increase to a predetermined reference level (82).

Note:

Speakers for which you selected “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Conﬁg” menu will be disabled.

2 Use the and cursor buttons to select “Left.”

Remember the volume level of this noise and then press the cursor button. (Note that this can be adjusted to any level between –12 and +12 decibels in 1 decibel increments. For subwoofer, values between –15 and +12 dB can be set.) The DTR-7.4 will now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.

3 Using the and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of the noise from the center speaker so that it is at the same level as that emitted from the front left speaker.

You can go back and forth between the speakers to help you compare the volume levels.

4 Press the cursor button again.

The DTR-7.4 will now emit the pink noise from the front right speaker.

5 Repeat steps (3) and (4) above for the front right and other speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume level.

Notes:

•Speakers for which you selected “No” or “None” in the Speaker Conﬁg Sub-menu cannot be selected.
