Calibrating the speaker levels Use this menu to set the volume for each speaker so that each volume is heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at different distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs and configurations. These settings and the distance settings performed in the Speaker Distance menu are vital to create the proper sound space and dynamics. Note: The speaker level settings here are not effective for multi-channel input sources.
