Calibrating the system

Surround

This test presents the Low test signal through the left and right rear surround speakers to allow you to adjust the relative phase and delay between them.

●Use > and < to switch between phase and delay.

When setting phase the display shows the absolute phase of the left surround speaker.

Surr L Phs +

For example:

●Use A and V to change the phase of the left surround speaker.

Unless there is a fault in the wiring, the correct setting should be the same phase as you set for the right surround speaker in the previous calibration stage. Confirm that in this position there is a more focused central image between the two surround speakers, as for the Main test.

You should not adjust the delay as this has already been specified when you time-aligned the layout.

If you have subwoofers or side surround speakers in your system press Store to proceed to the next calibration stage; otherwise you have completed the calibration of your speakers.
