Here you will enter the distance from each speaker to your normal
listening position. This is important for the timing of the acoustics to
create the proper sound space that the DTR-6.2 and today's sound
systems are able to produce.
Note:
Speakers that you selected "No" or "None" for in the Speaker Config
sub-menu will not appear.
a. Unit
feet: Select if you will enter the distances in feet.
meters: Select if you will enter the distances in meters.
b. Front L/R
Set the distance from the front left and right speakers to your normal
listening position between 1 and 30 feet in 1-feet intervals (0.3 to 9
meters in 0.3-meter intervals).
Position the front left and right speakers so that they are the same
distance from the listener. If they are not, you may lose the center
position for stereo sound.
c. Center
Set the distance from the center speaker to your normal listening
position between 1 and 30 feet in 1-feet intervals (0.3 to 9 meters in
0.3-meter intervals).
d. Surround L/R
Set the distance from the surround left and right speakers to your
normal listening position between 1 and 30 feet in 1-feet intervals
(0.3 to 9 meters in 0.3-meter intervals).

Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all
heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important
for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at
different distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room
designs and configurations. These settings and the distance
settings performed above are vital to create the proper acoustics
required for the optimum sound space and dynamics.
Notes:
• The speaker level settings here are not effective for multi-
channel input sources. To adjust the speaker levels for multi-
channel input sources, you will need to use the CH SEL,
LEVEL , and LEVEL
controller. See pages 30, 31.
• This setting cannot be made when Zone 2 is turned on, so be
sure to put Zone 2 in the standby mode.
Calibrating the speaker levels
(1) When this sub-menu is entered, the DTR-6.2 will emit a pink
noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the Master
volume automatically increases to the reference level (0dB).
Remember the level of this noise and then press the
button. (Note that this can be adjusted to any level between –
12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.) The DTR-6.2 will
now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.
(2) Using the and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of
the noise from the center speaker so that it is the same level as
the front left speaker. You can jog back and forth between the
speakers to help you compare the volume levels.
(3) Press the cursor button again. The DTR-6.2 will now emit
the pink noise from the front right speaker.
(4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) above for the front right and other
speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume
level.
Note:
• Speakers that you selected "No" or "None" for in the Speaker
Config sub-menu will not appear.
a. Left
Sound comes from the front left speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
b. Center
Sound comes from the center speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
c. Right
Sound comes from the front right speaker. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
d. Surr Right
Sound comes from the surround right speaker. Adjust the sound
level between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
e. Surr Left
Sound comes from the surround left speaker. Adjust the sound
level between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
f. Subwoofer
Sound comes from the subwoofer. Adjust the sound level
between –12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.
