To manually adjust output levels while the internal noise test or DACS calibration is conducted:

1.When the internal noise test is conducted, set the SPL meter to “C” weighting and “SLOW” response. When DACS calibration is conducted, set the SPL meter according to the DACS Installers Manual or audio calibration disc instructions. If no setting is specified, set the SPL meter to “C” weighting and “SLOW” response.

2. Press the remote control and arrows to highlight the desired SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST or DACS CALIBRATION menu parameter.

3. When the desired parameter is highlighted, press the arrow to select this parameter. A horizontal bar graph will open on the on-screen and front panel displays.

4.When the horizontal bar graph opens, follow the instructions on page 2-11 to adjust the selected parameter. When the SPL meter is set to “C” weighting and “SLOW” response, output levels should be adjusted to achieve a 75dB SPL meter reading from the primary listening position. When the SPL meter is not set to “C” weighting and “SLOW” response, output levels should be adjusted to achieve the appropriate SPL meter reading from the primary listening position.

5.When the desired adjustments have been made, press the arrow to close the horizontal bar graph and return to the SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST or DACS CALIBRATION menu. When the internal noise test is conducted, the internal noise test will continue, and automatic scrolling will resume.
