built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the
same at the listening position.

The speakers cannot be calibrated while the AV receiver 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 vol-
ume 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 Home menu are saved ( 26).
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 15-band equalizer. The vol-
ume of each speaker can be set ( 52).
