Advanced Setup—Continued
Level Calibration
Level Calibration can be set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup (see
page 56).
If you prefer, 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.
Left, Front Wide Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right, Front Wide Right, Right, Surr Right,
Surr Back Right, Surr Back Left, Surr Left, Subwoofer 1, Subwoofer 2
*1
The levels can be adjusted from –12.0 to +12.0 dB in 0.5 dB steps (–15.0 to +12.0 dB for the subwoofer).
Notes:
• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of the AV controller is muted.
• 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.
• You cannot get the test tone from speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration”
(page 90).
*1 If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “1ch”, this setting cannot be selected.
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
This setting is set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT Room Correction and Speaker Setup (see page 56).
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of speakers individually with a 7-band equalizer. The volume of
each speaker can be set on this page.
Notes:
• You can select: “63Hz”, “160Hz”, “400Hz”, “1000Hz”, “2500Hz”, “6300Hz”, or “16000Hz”. And for the sub-
woofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”, “63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.
• While the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings have no effect.
Equalizer Manual: You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker manually. If you selected “Manual”,
continue with this procedure.
