Level Calibration

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup (page 39).

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*1, Subwoofer 2*1*2

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

Note

These settings cannot be calibrated when the AV receiver is muted.

Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in “Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (page 64).

When the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 2 is turned on, the surround back and front high speakers cannot be used.

When the “Powered Zone 3” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 3 is turned on, the surround speakers cannot be used.

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 Quick Setup are saved in this menu (page 56).

*2 If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “1ch”, this setting cannot be selected (page 64).

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 (page 66).

Manual Equalizer

`On:

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/r

 

to adjust the level at that frequency.

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

Tip

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

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

3 Use qto select “Channel”, and then use er/ 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 64).
