Basic Setup—Continued

This section explains how to adjust the level of each speaker individually using the built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same at the listening position.

Notes:

•The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of the DTR-8.4 is muted, while a pair of headphones is connected, or when using the multichannel inputs.

•Since the DTR-8.4 supports THX, the test tone is output at the standard level of 0 dB (absolute vol- ume setting 82). If you normally listen at volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.
