Level Calibration
This setting is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ
Room Correction and Speaker Setup (➔ page 33).
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.
Note
• These settings cannot be calibrated in either of the following
cases:
– The "Audio TV Out" setting is set to "On" (➔ page 65).
– "HDMI Control(RIHD)" is set to "On" (➔ page 65) and
you're listening through your TV speakers.
– The AV receiver is muted.

Note
• Speakers that you set to "No" or "None" in
"Speaker Configuration" cannot be selected (➔ page 53).
• When the "Powered Zone 2" setting is set to "Yes" and Zone 2
is turned on, the surround back and front high speakers cannot be
used.
• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX, which is
0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen at
volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will
be much louder.
*1 For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made
by using the Quick Setup are saved in this menu (➔ page 47).
Tip
• If you're using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of
each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening position,
measured with C-weighting and slow reading.
Equalizer Settings
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of
speakers individually with a 5-band equalizer. The volume
®
of each speaker can be set.
