Channel Level
Using the channel level settings, you can adjust the overall balance of your speaker system, an important factor
when setting up a home theater system.
1
Select 'Channel Level' from the Manual SP Setup menu.
The test tones will start.
Adjust the level of each channel using k/l.
2
Use i/j to switch speakers.
Adjust the level of each speaker as the test tone is emitted.
! If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and
adjust the level of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).
3
When you're finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Speaker Distance
For good sound depth and separation from your system, you need to specify the distance of your speakers from
the listening position. (When Dolby Enabled Speaker is used, specify the distance reached by the speaker sound
reflected at the ceiling
(page 20
).) The receiver can then add the proper delay needed for effective surround
sound.
1
Select 'Speaker Distance' from the Manual SP Setup menu.
2
Adjust the distance of each speaker using k/l.
You can adjust the distance of each speaker in 0.01 m increments.
3
When you're finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
For best surround sound, make sure the surround back speakers are the same distance from the listening
position.
X-Curve
Most soundtracks mixed for cinema sound too bright when played back in large rooms. The X-Curve setting acts
as a kind of re-equalization for home theater listening, and restores proper tonal balance of movie soundtracks.
1
Select 'X-Curve' from the Manual SP Setup menu.
2
Choose the X-Curve setting you want.
Use k/l to adjust the setting. The X-Curve is expressed as a downwards slope in decibels per octave, starting
at 2 kHz. The sound becomes less bright as the slope increases (to a maximum of –3.0dB/oct). Use the following
guidelines to set the X-Curve according to your room size:
