Advanced Setup—Continued
Speaker Level Calibration
Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the
built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the
same at the listening position.
Notes:
• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of
the AV receiver is muted.
• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX,
which is 0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you nor-
mally listen at volume settings below this, be careful
because the test tone will be much louder.
Notes:
•
This procedure can also be performed by using the [Test
Tone] button, [Level–] and [Level+] buttons. First press
the [Test Tone] button to output the test tone. Use the
[Level–] and [Level+] buttons to set the volume, and use
the [CH Sel] button to select the speakers.
• This procedure can also be performed on the AV
receiver by using its [Setup] button, arrow buttons, and
[Enter] button.
