Calibration

Lexicon

Move your head from side to side to find the position where the noise is full left, and the right ear hears near total silence.

When calibrating right, if your left ear is in the silent band, the speaker angle is correct.

If the two silent bands are too close, lower the Speaker Angle; if they are too far apart, raise the Speaker Angle.

From the Setup menu, use the PARAM button to select the LISTENER POS menu, then press PARAM ▲ three times to show the following display:

CALIBRATE NOISE

CALIBRATE LEFT ONLY

If you are symmetrically centered between the two front speakers, the test signal should sound as though it is coming from off to your left side, well beyond the left speaker, with near-total silence in your right ear. Still facing forward, move your head from side to side until the effect is strongest.To make sure you have found this sweet spot, press PARAM to call up the following display:

SPKR/LSTNR ANG °

XX

Press the PARAM ▲ and ▼ buttons until you hear the strongest effect. (When you have found it, you will notice an almost physical sensation of silence in your right ear.) Push PARAM repeatedly until you return to the CALIBRATE LEFT ONLY display.

Press PARAM ▲, the display will read:

CALIBRATE NOISE

CALIBRATE RIGHT ONLY

Again, shift your head from side to side to find the sweet spot, this time looking for the point where the sound is strongest in your right ear. Compare the locations of the two sweet spots by pressing PARAM ▼ to call up LEFT ONLY, then pressing PARAM ▲ and ▼ to toggle between LEFT ONLY and RIGHT ONLY.

If the sweet spots do not coincide, press PARAM to return to the SPKR./ LSTNR ANG° display. If the first sweet spot is to the left of the second, press PARAM ▲ ; if it is to the right, press PARAM ▼.

If your normal listening position is not centered between your two front speakers, once you have correctly set the speaker angle, you may want to "move" the sweet spot to that position. To do this, press PARAM to get to LISTENER POS and use PARAM ▲ and▼ to move the effect. As you adjust the position, the display will indicate motion to the left of center (L001,L002,L003...L127), CENTER, or to the right of center (R001,R002,R003...R127). The numbers represent approximately 1/3", but are provided primarily as a general reference.

The Panorama mode is now calibrated. Press the SETUP button to store these settings and return to the main setup menu.
