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/AV amplifier 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/AV amplifier by using its [SETUP] button,
arrow buttons, and [ENTER] button.
1
Press the [RECEIVER] button fol-
lowed by the [SETUP] button.
The main menu appears onscreen.
If the main menu doesn’t appear, make
sure the appropriate external input is
selected on your TV.
2
Use the Up and Down [ ]/[ ] but-
tons to select “2. Speaker
Setup”, and then press [ENTER].
The “Speaker Setup” menu appears.
This setting is set automatically by the Automatic
Speaker Setup function (see page 49).
