Advanced Setup—Continued

Speaker Levels

With this function, you can adjust the volume of each speaker so that all speakers can be heard equally at the listening position.

• The speaker levels cannot be adjusted while a pair of headphones is connected, speaker set B is on, or the AV receiver is muted.

• Because the AV receiver supports THX, the test tone is output at the standard level of

0 dB (relative volume setting 0). If you nor- mally listen at volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.

1		Press the [RECEIVER] button fol-
	RECEIVER	lowed by the [SETUP] button on
		the remote controller.
	SETUP
2		Use the Up and Down [ ]/[ ]

buttons to select “4. Level Cal,” and then press the [ENTER] but- ton.

A pink noise test tone is output by the front left speaker.

3	Use the Left and Right [	]/[ ]
	buttons to adjust the speaker
	level, and use the Down [	] but-
	ton to select the next speaker.

The level can be adjusted from –12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps (–15 to +12 dB for the subwoofer).

4	Repeat step 3 so that the level of
	the test tone from each speaker
	is the same.
	Speakers that you set to No in the
	Speaker Configuration (page 55) do not
	output the test tone.
	If you’re using a handheld sound level
	meter, adjust the level of each speaker
	so it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening
	position, measured with C-weighting
	and slow reading.
5	Press the [SETUP] button.
	Setup closes.
	Don’t forget to turn down the volume if
SETUP	you turned it up while setting the levels.

Note:

•A quicker way to adjust the speaker levels is to press the remote controller’s [TEST TONE] button to output the test tone, use the [LEVEL–] and [LEVEL+] but- tons to adjust the levels, and use the [CH SEL] button to select the speakers.
