•If your subwoofer can adjust the output volume and the crossover frequency, set the volume to about half way (or slightly less) and set the crossover frequency to the maximum.

•If you use a handheld sound pressure level meter, hold at arm’s length and point upwards so that the meter is in the listening position. With the meter set to the 70 dB scale and to C SLOW, calibrate each speaker to 75 dB.

Notes

•The available speaker channels differ depending on the setting of the speakers.

•If you are only using one surround back speaker, connect it to the SUR.BACK SINGLE jack, and adjust the balance in “Surround Back L”.

•The setting of “Speaker Level” changes depending on the setting of “PEQ Select” in “Manual Setup” (see page 104).

Manual Setup (Volume)

Use this menu to manually adjust the various volume settings.

Adaptive DRC (Adaptive dynamic range control)

Use this feature to adjust the dynamic range in conjunction with the volume level. This feature is useful when you are listening at lower volumes or at night. When “Adaptive DRC” is set to “Auto”, this unit controls the dynamic range as follows:

–If the VOLUME setting is low: the dynamic range is narrow

–If the VOLUME setting is high: the dynamic range is wide

	level	AUTO	level		AUTO
	Output		Output
		OFF			OFF
		Input level			Input level
		VOLUME: low			VOLUME: high
Choice				Functions
Auto		Adjusts the dynamic range automatically.
Off		Does not adjust the dynamic range automatically.

•You can also adjust the dynamic range of the bitstream signal sources by using “Dynamic Range” in “Sound” (see page 103).

•This function is also useful for listening with your headphones.

Notes

•The adaptive dynamic range control feature does not function when this unit is in the THX Surround modes (see page 87) or Pure Direct mode (see page 65).

•If you set “Direct” in “2ch Stereo” to “Auto” (see page 94) and this unit is in the 2ch Stereo mode, the adaptive dynamic range control feature does not function in some cases.

Adaptive DSP Lvl (Adaptive DSP effect level)

Use this feature to make fine adjustments of the DSP effect level (see page 91) automatically in conjunction with the volume level.

Choice	Functions
Auto	Adjusts the DSP effect level in conjunction with the
	volume level.
Off	Does not adjust the DSP effect level automatically.

Note

Even if you set “Adaptive DSP Lvl” to “Auto”, this unit does not change but fine-tunes the specified value of “DSP Level” (see page 91).

Max Volume (Maximum volume)

Use this feature to set the maximum volume level in the main zone. This feature is useful to avoid the unexpected loud sound by mistake. For example, the original volume range is –80.0 dB to +16.5 dB. However, when “Max Volume” is set to –5.0 dB, the volume range becomes –80.0 dB to –5.0 dB.

Control range: –30.0 dB to +15.0 dB, +16.5 dB

Control step: 5.0 dB
