Speaker Levels
With this function, you can adjust the volume of each
speaker so that all speakers can be heard equally at the
listening position.
• The speaker levels cannot be adjusted while
a pair of headphones is connected, speaker
set B is on, or the AV receiver is muted.
• Because the AV receiver supports THX, the
test tone is output at the standard level of
0 dB (relative volume setting 0). If you nor-
mally listen at volume settings below this, be
careful because the test tone will be much
louder.

• A quicker way to adjust the speaker levels is to press

Repeat step 3 so that the level of
the test tone from each speaker
is the same.
Speakers that you set to No in the
Speaker Configuration (page 55) do not
output the test tone.
If you're using a handheld sound level
meter, adjust the level of each speaker
so it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening
position, measured with C-weighting
and slow reading.
Press the [SETUP] button.
Setup closes.
Don't forget to turn down the volume if
you turned it up while setting the levels.
