Level Calibration Sub-menu
Use this sub-menu to set the volume for each speaker so
that each volume is heard by the listener at the same
level. This is especially important for speaker layouts
where the left and right speakers are at different dis-
tances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs
and configurations. These settings and the distance set-
tings performed in the Speaker Distance Sub-menu are
vital for creating proper sound space and dynamics.
• These settings cannot be made when the sound is
muted, when you connect the headphones, and when
you use multichannel playback.
• You cannot use the MASTER VOLUME dial while
you perform the Level Calibration settings. These
settings are inteded to bring sound levels between
speakers into balance so as to obtain the proper sound
space.
• This unit supports the THX format and the test tone is
output at a standard 0 dB (the Absolute Volume value
is 82). If you usually enjoy listening at a lower level
than the test tone, be careful of the test tone’s
sudden big sound. Note that the test tone will be
output immediately after pressing the ENTER button
in step 1 below.
Notes:
• Speakers for which you selected “No” or “None” in
the Speaker Config Sub-menu cannot be selected.
