(➔ page 55)
Turn this setting on to boost bass output by feeding
bass sounds from the front left, right, and center
channels to the subwoofer. Default setting: “
----”
Note
• When the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No” or the “Front”
setting to anything other than “Full Band”, this setting is
fixed to “---”.
• This setting is set to “On” automatically when the
“Subwoofer” and “Front” settings are set for the first time
to “Yes” and “Full Band” respectively.
• If you’re using THX-certified speakers, select “Off(THX)”.
Speaker Distance
Here you can specify the distance from each speaker
to the listening position so that the sound from each
speaker arrives at the listener’s ears as the sound
designer intended.
■ Unit
` feet:
Distances can be set in feet. Range: 0.2ft to
30.0ft in 0.2 foot steps.
` meters:
Distances can be set in meters. Range: 0.06m
to 9.00m in 0.06 meter steps.
(The default setting varies from country to country.)
■ Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right,
Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right,
Surround Back Left, Surround Left, Subwoofer
` Specify the distance from each speaker to your
listening position.
Note
• Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in
“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (➔ page 59).
• 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.
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.
■ Left, Front High Left, Center

, Front High Right,
Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right,
Surround Back Left, Surround Left
` –12dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.
■ Subwoofer

` –15dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.
Note
• These settings cannot be calibrated when the AV receiver
is muted.
• Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in
“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (➔ page 59).
• 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 53).
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:

to +6dB in 1 dB steps.
Tip
• You can select: “63Hz”, “250Hz”, “1kHz”, “4kHz”, or
“16kHz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”,
