Marantz SR5300 manual Speaker Distance Time Alignment, Speakers Level

SPEAKER DISTANCE (TIME ALIGNMENT)

Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker’s position from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated according to these distances.

Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating position in the room.

This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper sound space that the SR5300 and today’s sound systems are able to produce.

Note that the speakers that you selected “NONE” for in the Speaker Config sub-menu will not appear here.

(There are several useful books and special DVD and LD’s available to guide you through proper home theater configuration. If you are unsure, have your Marantz dealer perform the installation for you.

They are trained professionals familiar with even the most sophisticated custom installations.)

TEST MODE : Selects “MANUAL” or “AUTO” for generating mode of test toneorcursor button.

If you select “AUTO” , the test tone will be cycled through in a circular pattern which is Left → Center → Right → Surround Right → Surround Center → Surround Left → Subwoofer → Left →.. increments of 2 seconds for each channel.

Using theandcursor buttons, adjust the volume level of the noise from the speaker so that it is the same level for all speaker.

If you select “MANUAL”, adjust the output level of each speaker as follows.

1. When you move cursor to FRONT L by pressingcursor button, the SR5300 will emit a pink noise from the front left speaker.

At this time, the master volume automatically increases to the reference level (0 dB).

Remember the level of this noise and then press the cursor button.

(Note that this can be adjusted to any level between -10 and +10 dB in 1 dB intervals.)

The SR5300 will now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.

2. Using theandcursor buttons, adjust the volume level of the noise from the center speaker so that it is the same level as the front left speaker.

3. Press thecursor button again. The SR5300 will now emit the pink noise from the front right speaker.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the front right and other speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume level.

If you finish these setup, press OK button, the cursor will move to “MAIN” and then press OK button to go to SETUP MAIN MENU.

Notes:

•Speakers that you selected “NONE” for in the Speaker Size menu will not appear.

•The setup level for each channel is memorized for reproduction in all surround mode.

•To adjust the speaker levels for 6.1-channel input sources, you will need to use the 6.1CH-INPUT sub menu. (See page 19).

•In order to correctly set the output levels, use a hand-held Sound

Pressure Level meter (SPL), set to C-Weighting and Slow averaging. A Radio Shack® SPL meter (catalogue number 330 - 2055) works well. Using the internal channel noise generators, set each channel so that you read 75 dB SPL from each channel when seated at the listening position.
