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 any 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.
