Speaker Distance Note

1After the volume increases to the reference level, test tones will be output.

2• 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.

You can change the channel levels at any time by using EFFECT/CH SEL and +/– on the remote control. You can set two channel levels: one for DVD 5.1 and one for the listening modes.

3For best surround sound, make sure the surround back speakers are the same distance from the listening position.
