SPEAKERS Menu - CALIBRATION
The calibration procedure allows you to adjust the volume level of
each speaker in turn until they are all equal. This will give you the best
Home Theater performance. You should only do this calibration when
you are sitting in your usual listening/viewing position.
Preliminary: Play a movie and adjust the volume for a
comfortable listening level. The volume of the calibration
test noise is linked to the setting of the main volume control,
so if the test noise is too quiet, turn the main volume up a
little and retry.
1) Use the OSD to navigate to the SPEAKER CALIBRATION
menu.
2) Press the remote’s joystick down to turn on the
noise generator. While the test signal is playing in
each speaker, its level can be adjusted using the
joystick left/right buttons. Adjust each speaker in
turn until they are all equal in volume.
The best results are obtained if you use a Sound
Pressure Level (SPL) Meter. This is a hand held
meter which will accurately measure and display
the sound level. Adjust all of the speakers until they
are playing within 1 dB of each other. Without
a meter, you can still obtain good results with
careful listening.
3) Repeat the procedure several times for each
speaker until you are satised they are playing
at the same level.
4) Press the joystick UP to return to the top of
the menu, and then press joystick LEFT to exit.
The calibration noise generator will turn o.
The main volume control adjusts the volume
of all of the speakers up and down at the same
time. They keep the same relative levels you in
this menu.
