Note
• Speakers that you set to “No” in the “Speaker Configuration”
cannot be selected (➔ 39).
• Speakers that you set to “No” in the “Speaker Configuration” do
not output the test tone (➔ 39).
• The speakers cannot be calibrated while 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 normally listen at vol-
ume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be
much louder.

by using the Audio menu are saved (➔ 22).
Tip
• If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of
each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening position,
measured with C-weighting and slow reading.

With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of
speakers individually with a 5-band equalizer. The volume
