SPEAKER DISTANCE (TIME ALIGNMENT)
Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker’s position
from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated
according to these distances.
Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating
position in the room.
This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper
sound space that the SR8300 and today’s sound systems are able to
produce.
Note that the speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the
Speaker Config sub-menu will not appear here.
(There are several usefull books and special DVD and LD’s available
to guide you through proper home theater configuration. If you are
unsure, have your Marantz dealer perform the installation for you.
They are trained professionals familiar with even the most
sophisticated custom installations. Marantz recommends the
WWW.CEDIA.ORG website for further information about this).

SPEAKERS LEVEL
Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all
heard by the listener at the same level.
Note:
• The speaker level settings is not available in 7.1channel input
mode and S-Direct mode.
TEST MODE : Selects “MANUAL” or “AUTO” for generating mode of
test tone Left or Right cursor button.
If you select “AUTO” , the test tone will be cycled through in a circular
pattern which is Left →Center →Right →Surround Right →Surround

If you select “MANUAL”, adjust the output level of each speaker as
follow.
1.
When you move cursor to FRONT L by pressing Down cursor
button, the SR8300 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 Down cursor
button.
(Note that this can be adjusted to any level between -10 and +10
dB in 1db intervals.)
The SR8300 will now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.

Using the Left and Right 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.
3.
Press the Down cursor button again. The SR8300 will now emit

Notes:
• Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker
Size menu will not appear.
• The setting of Surr.Back L and Surr.Back R appears if set for

• The setting of Surr.Back appears if set for one surround back
speaker in the Speaker Size menu.
• The setup level for each channel is memorized for reproduction
in all surround mode.
• To adjust the speaker levels for 7.1-channel input sources, you
will need to use the 7.1CH-INPUT sub menu. (See page 32).
• In order to correctly set the output levels, use a hand-held Sound
Pressure Level meter (SPL), set to C-Weighting and Slow
averaging. A Radio Shack
®
SPL meter (catalogue number 330
- 2055) works well. Using the internal channel noise
generators, set each channel so that you read 75 dB SPL from
each channel when seated at the listening position.
