Note
•If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and adjust the level of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C- weighting/slow reading).
•The subwoofer test tone is output at low volumes. You may need to adjust the level after testing with an actual soundtrack.
5When you’re finished, press RETURN. You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Tip
•You can change the channel levels at any time by using EFFECT/CH SEL and +/– on the remote control. You can set separate levels for the listening modes (Standard, Home THX, Advanced and Stereo/Direct) as well as for the MULTI CH IN mode. However, the listening mode setting will be cleared if you use one of the setups (for example, System Setup or Auto Setup) to set the channel levels at a later date.
Speaker Distance
For good sound depth and separation from your system, you need to specify the distance of your speakers from the listening position. The receiver can then add the proper delay needed for effective surround sound.

Tip
•For best surround sound, make sure the surround back speakers are the same distance from the listening position.
Surround Back Speaker Position
For the most effective results when using the THX Select2 Cinema and THX MusicMode listening modes (see Using the Home THX modes on page 32) with the Advanced Speaker Array (ASA) system (see About THX on page 73), it is required that you make the setting. See THX speaker system setup on page 22 for more on this.
Note
•If you don't have surround back speakers, or just have one, you won't be able to select this setting.
