Calibrating The Speaker Levels - Integra DTR-6.4/5.4 Instructional Manual

Configuring the speakers (DTR-5.4)

Calibrating the speaker levels

Use this menu to set the volume for each speaker so that each
volume is 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 in the Speaker Distance menu are vital to create the
proper sound space and dynamics.
Note:
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
buttons on the remote controller.
1. Use the and cursor buttons to
select "4. Level Calibration" on the
main menu and then press the
ENTER button.
The "Level Calibration" menu appears.
