Level Calibration

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ page 24).

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 High Left, Center*1, Front High Right,

Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left

`–12dBto 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.

■Subwoofer*1

`–15dBto 0dB to +12dB in 1 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 55).

•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.

*1 For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made by using the Quick Setup are saved in this menu (➔ page 50).

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.

3. Audio Adjust

With the Audio Adjust functions and settings, you can adjust the sound and listening modes as you like.

Multiplex/Mono

■Multiplex

Input Channel

`Main

`Sub

`Main/Sub

This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.

■Mono

Input Channel

`Left + Right

`Left

`Right

This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.

Dolby

■PL IIx Music (2ch Input)

These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.

If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

Advanced Operations

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

Dimension

`–3to 0 to +3

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.

Center Width

`0 to 3 to 7

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output from only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.

■PL IIz Height Gain

`Low

`Mid

`High

The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables the listener to select how much gain is applied to the front high speakers. There are three settings, “Low”, “Mid” and “High”, and the front high speakers are accentuated in that order. While “Mid” is the default listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal preference.
