Advanced Setup—Continued

Speaker Levels

These settings are set automatically by the Automatic Speaker Setup function (see page 42).

You can set the volume level of each speaker so that all speakers can be heard equally at the listening position.

Note:

• These settings cannot be adjusted while a pair of head- phones is connected, speaker set B is on, or 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 nor- mally listen at volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.

• Adjust the level control of the subwoofer to the “THX” position before calibrating this system.

Turn up the volume so that you can hear the test tone suffi- ciently.

As each speaker outputs the test tone, its name appears on the display.

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.

Use the Left and Right [

]/[ ]

buttons to adjust the speaker

level, and use the Down [

] but-

ton to select the next speaker.

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

Repeat step 5 so that the level of the test tone coming from each speaker is the same.

Speakers that you set to No in the “Speaker Configuration” on page 81 do not output the test tone.

Press the [SETUP] button.

Setup closes.

Don’t forget to turn down the volume if you turned it up while setting the levels.
