Onkyo HT-RC370 Level Calibration, Equalizer Settings, THX Audio Setup, Subwoofer*1

Level Calibration

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ® XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ page 31).

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*1,

Front High Right, Front Wide Right, Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left

`–12.0dBto 0.0dB to +12.0dB in 0.5 dB steps.

■Subwoofer*1

`–15.0dBto 0.0dB to +12.0dB in 0.5 dB steps.

Note

•These settings cannot be calibrated in either of the following cases:

–a pair of headphones is connected.

–the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (➔ page 58).

–“HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” (➔ page 57) and you’re listening through your TV speakers.

–the AV receiver is muted.

•Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the

“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (➔ page 46).

•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.

*1 For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made by using the Home menu are saved in this menu

(➔ page 40).

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

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.

■Equalizer

`Manual:

You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker manually. Continue with the following procedure:

1	Press wto select “Channel”, and then use
	e/rto select a speaker.
2	Use q/wto select a frequency, and then use
	the e/rto adjust the level at that frequency.

The volume at each frequency can be adjusted from –6dBto 0dB to +6dB in 1 dB steps.

Tip

•Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high frequencies (e.g., 16000Hz) affect treble sounds.

3 Use qto select “Channel”, and then use e/r to select another speaker.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker.

You cannot select speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration” (➔ page 46).

`Off:

Tone off, response flat.

Note

•You can select: “63Hz”, “160Hz”, “400Hz”, “1000Hz”,

“2500Hz”, “6300Hz”, or “16000Hz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”, “63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.

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

•If “Audyssey” is enabled, it prevails over this setting (➔ page 51).
