The level of each channel should be adjusted to 75 dB (C-weighted, slow meter mode) on a sound level meter
at the listening position.
If a sound level meter is not available adjust the channels by ear so the sound levels are the same. Because
adjusting the subwoofer level test tone by ear is difficult, use a well known music selection and adjust for natural
balance.
NOTE: When adjusting the level of an active subwoofer system, you may also need to adjust the subwoofer’s
own volume control.
When you adjust the channel levels while in the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEL LEVEL mode, the channel
level adjustments made will affect ALL surround modes. Consider this mode a Master Channel Level
adjustment mode.
After you have completed the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEL LEVEL adjustments, you can then activate the
individual surround modes and adjust channel levels that will be remembered for each of those modes.
Then, whenever you activate a particular surround sound mode, your preferred channel level adjustments
for just that mode will be recalled. Check the instructions for adjusting channel levels within each
surround mode on page 28.
You can adjust the channel levels for each of the following surround modes: DIRECT, STEREO,
DOLBY/DTS SURROUND, 5/7 CH STEREO, MONO MOVIE, ROCK ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, VIDEO GAME,
MATRIX and VIRTUAL.
