The SETTING DISTANCES menu is displayed when the RV-8 calibrates speaker distances.

During speaker distance calibration, the RV-8 sends calibration noise signals to the Main Zone audio output connectors in the order shown on the SETTING DISTANCES menu. The cursor auto- matically scrolls downward through speaker calibration parameters, highlighting each parameter while the RV-8 calculates a distance for the corresponding speaker. As it finishes each parameter, the RV-8 enters the calibrated value or an ERROR message to the right of the parameter label.

3 • Because of the way low-frequency signals propagate in most listening spaces, automatic speaker dis- tance calibration often produces unreliable results for subwoofers. For this reason, the RV-8 does not send calibration noise signals to the Subwoofer connector during speaker distance calibration. Instead, the RV-8 automatically calibrates the subwoofer distance to the shortest distance of the other speakers. These distances can be manually adjusted. See “PERFORMING MANUAL SPEAKER DISTANCE CALIBRA- TION” on page 3-54.

This step does not occur when the AUTO SPEAKER SETUP menu LEVELS option is selected.

The SETTING LEVELS menu is displayed when the RV-8 calibrates output levels.

During speaker levels calibration, the RV-8 sends calibration noise signals to the Main Zone audio output connectors in the order shown on the SETTING LEVELS menu. The cursor auto- matically scrolls downward through speaker calibration parameters, highlighting each parame- ter while the RV-8 calculates an output level for the corresponding speaker. As it finishes each parameter, the RV-8 enters the calibrated value or an ERROR message to the right of the param- eter label.
