Speaker Distance

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (page 27).

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.

Unit `feet:

Distances can be set in feet. Range: 0.5ft to 30.0ft in 0.5 foot steps.

`meters:

Distances can be set in meters. Range: 0.15m to 9.00m in 0.15 meter steps.

“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (page 64).

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.

Level Calibration

This setting is set automatically by

Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (page 27).

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 Wide Left, Front High Left, Center*1,

Front High Right, Front Wide Right, Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left

`–12.0dBto 0.0dB to +12.0dB in 0.5 dB steps.

“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (page 64).

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.

Advanced Operations

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 58).

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

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”.
