Adjusting the speaker channel output levels
To accurately set the output levels, it is recommended to use a
handheld sound pressure level (SPL) meter (not supplied). Set
the meter to C-weighting and slow averaging. Use the
MANUAL test tone option and set each channel so that you read
a 75 decibel sound pressure level at the listening point.
Select and adjust the following speaker output levels within the
range of –10 dB to +10 dB.
FRONT L LEVEL : Select to adjust the left front speaker
output level.
FRONT R LEVEL : Select to adjust the right front speaker
output level.
CENTER LEVEL : Select to adjust the center speaker
output level.
SURR L LEVEL : Select to adjust the left surround
speaker output level.
SURR R LEVEL : Select to adjust the right surround
speaker output level.
SBACK L LEVEL* : Select to adjust the left surround back
speaker output level.
SBACK R LEVEL* : Select to adjust the right surround back
speaker output level.
SUBWOOFER : Select to adjust the subwoofer output
level.
Note:
*
When “SURR BACK OUT” is set to “1SPK” on the SPEAKER
SETTING submenu, “SBACK LEVEL” will appear instead of
these two level settings.
