Fine tuning
These tests allow you to fine-tune the phase and delay
of each speaker when used in conjunction with other
speakers on the layout.
Press > or < to move between each of the speakers
in the layout.
The first display allows you to adjust the phase.
For example: Left Phase
The next display shows the distance (or delay) for the
same speaker.
For example: Left Distance 18'0
Choose the setting that gives an even sound between
the speakers, that does not change radically as you
move your head. If the setting is incorrect the sound
will appear diffused, and change in timbre and apparent
location as you move your head.
Pay particular attention to the centre channel, as this
can have a dramatic effect on the overall sound.
As you increase the delay the speaker will appear to
move away from you.
Press > or Store to proceed to the next calibration
stage.
Speaker size
These tests allow you to determine the bass handling
capability of large analogue speakers and subwoofers.
Once set, the 861 will limit the bass level to protect the
speakers from potential damage.
In each test the display shows the speaker being tested
and the current size value chosen for the speaker. This
value will default to zero, corresponding to maximum
bass protection.

For example: Left Size 15
Press > or < to move between each of the speakers
under test.
Press A and V to adjust the Size value for the
speaker.
As you increase the Size value, the test signal will get
louder, since the bass protection is treating the speaker
as one capable of handling more bass.
Adjust the Size value until the speaker is just
beginning to produce distortion, indicating that it is
reaching its bass handling limit.
You have now completed the calibration of your system.
Press Off (front panel or remote) to exit from the
calibration procedure.
