Speaker Level Calibration
This section explains how to adjust the level of each
speaker individually using the built-in test tone so that
the volume of each speaker is the same at the listening
position.
Notes:
•
The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of
the TX-NR901 is muted, while a pair of headphones is
connected, or when using the multichannel inputs.
•
Since the TX-NR901 supports THX, the test tone is
output at the standard level of 0 dB (absolute vol-
ume setting 82). If you normally listen at volume
settings below this, be careful because the test tone
will be much louder.
Notes:
•
This procedure can also be performed by using the
remote controller. First press the [TEST TONE] but-
ton to output the test tone. Use the [LEVEL–] and
[LEVEL+] buttons to adjust the speaker volume, and
use the [CH SEL] button to select the other speakers.
•
To calibrate the speaker more accurately, use a com-
mercially available sound pressure level (SPL) meter.
