Level Calibration This setting is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup (➔ page 30). Adjust the level control of the subwoofer to the THX POSITION before calibrating this system. 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. ■ Left, Front High Left, Center*1, Front High Right, Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left ` -12dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps. ■ Subwoofer*1 ` -15dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps. Note • These settings cannot be calibrated in either of the following cases: - a pair of headphones is connected. - the "Audio TV Out" setting is set to "On" (➔ page 55). - "HDMI Control(RIHD)" is set to "On" (➔ page 54) and you're listening through your TV speakers. - the AV receiver is muted. • Speakers that you set to "No" in the "Speaker Configuration" cannot be selected (➔ page 44). • 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 Home menu are saved in this menu (➔ page 39). 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. ■ Equalizer ` Manual: You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker manually. Continue with the following procedure: 1 Press X to select "Channel", and then use F/S to select a speaker. 2 Use R/X to select a frequency, and then use the F/S 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 • Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high frequencies (e.g., 16000Hz) affect treble sounds. 3 Use R to select "Channel", and then use F/S to select another speaker. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker. You cannot select speakers that you set to "No" in the "Speaker Configuration" (➔ page 44). ` Off: Tone off, response flat. Note • You can select: "63Hz", "250Hz", "1000Hz", "4000Hz", or "16000Hz". And for the subwoofer, "25Hz", "40Hz", "63Hz", "100Hz", or "160Hz". • When the Direct listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings have no effect. • If "Audyssey" is enabled, it prevails over this setting (➔ page 48).
