Level Calibration
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.
Note
• These settings cannot be calibrated in either of the following
cases:
–The “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (➔ page 65).
–“HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” (➔ page 64) and
you’re listening through your TV speakers.
– The AV receiver is muted.

` –12dB to 0dB
to +12dB in 1 dB steps.
■ Subwoofer

` –15dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.
Note
• Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in
“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (➔ page 52).
•When the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 2
is turned on, the surround back and front high speakers cannot be
used.
• 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.

For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made
by using the Quick Setup are saved in this menu (➔ page 46).
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.
■ Manual Equalizer
` On:
You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker
manually. Continue with the following procedure:
` Off
:
Tone off, response flat.
Note
• When the Direct listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings
have no effect.
• If “Audyssey” is enabled, it prevails over this setting
(➔ page 57).
THX Audio Setup
■ Surr Back Speaker Spacing
` <1ft (<0.3m)
` 1ft-4ft (0.3m-1.2m)
` >4ft (>1.2m)
You can specify the distance between your surround back
speakers.
Note
• Cannot be set if:
–“Surround Back” is set to “None” (➔ page 53).
–“Surround Back Ch” is set to “1ch” (➔ page 53).
–“Powered Zone 2” is set to “Yes” (➔ page 52) and Zone 2

■ THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer
` No
` Yes
If you’re using a THX-certified subwoofer, set this setting
to “Yes”.
Note
• If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No”, this setting cannot be
selected (➔ page 53).
■ BGC
` Off
` On
You can apply THX’s Boundary Gain Compensation
(BGC) to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low
frequencies for listeners sitting very close to a room
boundary (i.e., wall).
Note
• This setting is only available if “THX Ultra2/Select2
Subwoofer” is set to “Yes”.
• If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No”, this setting cannot be
selected (➔ page 53).
This setting is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ

Room Correction and Speaker Setup (➔ page 32).
1
Press w to select “Channel”, and then use e/r to
select a speaker.
2
Use q/w to select a frequency, and then use the e/r
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
• You can select: “63Hz”, “250Hz”, “1000Hz”, “4000Hz”, or
“16000Hz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”,
“63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.
• Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high
frequencies (e.g., 16000Hz) affect treble sounds.
3
Use q to select “Channel”, and then use e/r to
select another speaker.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker.
You cannot select speakers that you set to “No” or
“None” in the “Speaker Configuration”
