Advanced Setup—Continued

Level Calibration

This setting is set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup (see page 54).

Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same at the listening position.

Left, Front Wide Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right, Front Wide Right, Right, Surr Right, Surr Back Right, Surr Back Left, Surr Left, Subwoofer

The levels can be adjusted from –12.0 to +12.0 dB in 0.5 dB steps (–15.0 to +12.0 dB for the subwoofer).

Note:

You cannot get the test tone from speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration” (page 85).

Notes:

The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of the AV receiver is muted.

The test tone is output at the standard level for THX, which is 0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen at volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.

Tip:

If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.

Equalizer Settings

This setting is set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup (see page 54).

With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of speakers individually with a 7-band equalizer. The volume of each speaker can be set on this page.

Notes:

You can select: “63Hz”, “160Hz”, “400Hz”, “1000Hz”, “2500Hz”, “6300Hz”, or “16000Hz”. And for the sub- woofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”, “63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.

While the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings have no effect.
