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 59).

•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.

•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 54).

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 5-band equalizer. The volume of each speaker can be set.

■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/rto 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”, “250Hz”, “1kHz”, “4kHz”, or “16kHz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”, “63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.

•Low frequencies (e.g., 63 Hz) affect bass sounds; high frequencies (e.g., 16 kHz) affect treble sounds.

3 Use qto select “Channel”, and then use e/r 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 59).

`Off:

Tone off, response flat.

Note

•When the Direct or Pure Audio (European, Australian, and Asian models) listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings have no effect.

•If “Audyssey” is enabled, it prevails over this setting (➔ page 64).

Advanced Operations

THX Audio Setup

■Surr Back Speaker Spacing

`<1ft (<0.3m)

`1ft-4ft (0.3m-1.2m)

`>4ft (>1.2m)

You can specify the distance between your surround back speakers.

Note

•Cannot be set if:

–“Surround Back” is set to “None” (➔ page 60).

–“Surround Back Ch” is set to “1ch” (➔ page 60).

–“Powered Zone 2” is set to “Yes” (➔ page 59) and Zone 2 turned on (➔ page 75).

■THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer

`No

`Yes

If you’re using a THX-certified subwoofer, set this setting to “Yes”.

Note

•If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No”, this setting cannot be selected (➔ page 60).

■BGC

`Off

`On

If your listening room layout (for practical or aesthetic reasons) locates most of the listeners close to the rear wall, the resulting bass level can be sufficiently reinforced by the boundary that the overall sound becomes “boomy”. THX Select2 Plus receivers contain a Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC) feature to improve bass balance.

Note

•This setting is only available if “THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer” is set to “Yes”.

•If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No”, this setting cannot be selected (➔ page 60).
