Level Calibration

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ 32). For Speakers B, you need to change the settings manually.

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.

The other speakers (i.e., subwoofer, center, surround, and surround back) use the same level settings for Speakers A and Speakers B.

Note

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

“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (➔ 51).

•The speakers cannot be calibrated while 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 normally listen at vol- ume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.

•Speakers B cannot be selected if “Speakers Type(Front B)” is set to “Not Use”.

•The “Level Calibration” setting cannot be selected if “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On”.

*1 For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made by using the Home menu are saved (➔ 30).

*2 If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “1ch”, this setting cannot be selected (➔ 51).

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

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ 32).

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 (➔ 53).

The Equalizer settings only apply to Speakers A and can- not be adjusted while Speakers B is selected.
