System Speaker the Up Setting and Up Hooking
Multi Channel Surround Setup
Notes
•The rear balance, center level, and rear level are shown in the display during adjustment.
•Although these adjustments can also be made via the front panel using the parameters in the LEVEL menu (when the test tone is output, the unit switches to the LEVEL menu automatically), we recommend you follow the procedure described above and adjust the speaker levels from your listening position using the remote control.
zWhen setting the volume levels for each speaker
Let’s assume that you have matched the sound levels of all the speakers using the test tone. Although this lays the foundation for high quality surround sound, it may be necessary to make further adjustments while listening to playback of actual software. This is because most software contains center and rear channels recorded at slightly lower levels than the two front channels.
When you actually playback software recorded in multi channel surround you will notice that increasing the center and rear speaker levels produces a better blend between the front and center speakers and greater cohesion between the front and rear speakers. Increasing the level of the center speaker about 1 dB, and the rear speakers about 1~2 dB is likely to produce better results.
In other words, in order to create a more cohesive soundstage with balanced dialog, we recommend that you make some adjustments while playing your software. Changes of only 1 dB can make a huge difference in the character of the soundstage.
