Advanced Setup—Continued
Speaker Level Calibration
Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the
built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the
same at the listening position.
Notes:
• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of
the AV receiver is muted.
• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX,
which is 0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you nor-
mally listen at volume settings below this, be careful
because the test tone will be much louder.
Note:
This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver
by using its [Setup] button, arrow buttons, and [Enter]
button.

Press the [Receiver] button fol-
lowed by the [Setup] button.

tons to select “2. Speaker

Repeat step 4 until the volume of
the test tone from each speaker

so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listen-
ing position, measured with C-weight-
