Advanced Setup—Continued

Speaker Level Calibration

This setting is set automatically by the Automatic Speaker Setup function (see page 54).

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.

Notes:

• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of

the AV receiver/AV amplifier is muted.

• 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.
