Level Calibration
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:
–TheAudio TV Out” setting is set to “On” ( page 65).
–“HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” ( page 64) and
you’re listening through your TV speakers.
The AV receiver is muted.

` –15dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.
Note
Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in
“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected ( page 52).
•When thePowered 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.

For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made
by using the Quick Setup are saved in this menu ( page 46).
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.

Press w to select “Channel”, and then use e/r to
select a speaker.
2
Use q/w to select a frequency, and then use the e/r
to adjust the level at that frequency.
The volume at each frequency can be adjusted from
–6dB to 0dB
to +6dB in 1 dB steps.
Tip
You can select: “63Hz”, “250Hz”, “1000Hz”, “4000Hz”, or
16000Hz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”,
63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.
Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high
frequencies (e.g., 16000Hz) affect treble sounds.

select another speaker.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker.
