Advanced Setup—Continued

Speaker Level Calibration

These settings are set automatically by the Automatic Speaker Setup function (see page 55).

With the Level Calibration settings, you can adjust the level of each speaker while listening to the test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same at the listen- ing position.

Note:

• 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.
