Speaker Setup
Notes:
• Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker
Config sub-menu will not appear.
• To accurately set the output levels, it is recommended to use a handheld
sound pressure level (SPL) meter. Set the meter to C-weighting and
slow averaging. A Radio Shack
®
SPL meter or equivalent is
recommended. Using the internal channel noise generators, set each
channel so that you read a 75 decibel sound pressure level.
a. Left
Sound comes from the front left speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
b. Center
Sound comes from the center speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
c. Right
Sound comes from the front right speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
d. Surr Right
Sound comes from the surround right speaker. Adjust the sound
level between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
e. Surr Back
Sound comes from the surround back speaker. Adjust the sound
level between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
• This setting appears if set for one surround back speaker in the
Speaker Config sub-menu.
f. Surr Left
Sound comes from the surround left speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
g. Subwoofer
Sound comes from the subwoofer. Adjust the sound level between
–15 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
e. Surr Back R
Sound comes from the surround back right speaker. Adjust the sound
level between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
• This setting appears if set for two surround back speakers in the
Speaker Config sub-menu.
f. Surr Back L
Sound comes from the surround back left speaker. Adjust the sound
level between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
• This setting appears if set for two surround back speakers in the
Speaker Config sub-menu.
Note:
For audio using surround back right and surround back left speakers,
a separately-sold 2-channel power amplifier is required.
Calibrating the speaker levels
(1)
When this sub-menu is entered, the DTR-7.2 will emit a pink
noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the Master volume
automatically increases to the reference level (0dB). Remember
the level of this noise and then press the
cursor button. (Note
that this can be adjusted to any level between –12 and 12
decibels in 1-decibel intervals.) The DTR-7.2 will now emit the
pink noise from the center speaker.
(2)
Using the
and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of the
noise from the center speaker so that it is the same level as the
front left speaker. You can jog back and forth between the
speakers to help you compare the volume levels.
(3)
Press the
cursor button again. The DTR-7.2 will now emit the
pink noise from the front right speaker.
1-3. Level Calibration sub-menu
Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all
heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important
for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at different
distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs and
configurations. These settings and the distance settings performed
above are vital to create the proper acoustics required for the
optimum sound space and dynamics.
Notes:
• Be aware that when you enter this sub menu, a loud white
noise is output.
• The speaker level settings here are not effective for multi-
channel input sources. To adjust the speaker levels for multi-
channel input sources, you will need to use the CH SEL, LEVEL
, and LEVEL buttons on the RC-461M remote controller.
