Onkyo TX-NR5010 instruction manual En-69, Speaker Distance, Level Calibration

Speaker Distance

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ page 42). For Speakers B, you need to change the settings manually.

Here you can specify the distance from each speaker to the listening position so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener’s ears as the sound designer intended. You can set the distances for front speakers A and front speakers B independently. The other speakers (i.e., subwoofer, center, surround, surround back and front high) use the same distance settings for Speakers A and Speakers B.

Note

•Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in “Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (➔ page 67).

•Speakers B cannot be selected if “Speakers Type(Front B)” is set to “No” (➔ page 66).

(➔ page 66) while Powered Zone 2 is enabled (➔ page 89), the surround back speakers cannot be used.

Level Calibration

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ page 42). 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.

You can set the levels of front speakers A and front speakers B independently. The other speakers (i.e., subwoofer, center, surround, surround back and front high) use the same level settings for Speakers A and Speakers B.

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 67).

•When the “Powered Zone 3” setting is set to “Yes”

(➔ page 66) while Powered Zone 2 is enabled (➔ page 89), the surround back 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.

•Speakers B cannot be selected if “Speakers Type(Front B)” is set to “No” (➔ page 66).

*1 For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made by using the Quick Setup are saved in this menu (➔ page 59).

*2 If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “1ch”, this setting cannot be selected (➔ page 67).

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.
