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 63).
• When the “Powered Zone 3” setting is set to “Yes”

• 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 57).
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 15-band equalizer. The
volume of each speaker can be set.
■ Manual Equalizer

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: “25Hz”, “40Hz”, “63Hz”, “100Hz”,
“160Hz”, “250Hz”, “400Hz”, “630Hz”, “1kHz”,

“16kHz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”,
“63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.
• Low frequencies (e.g., 25 Hz) affect bass sounds; high
frequencies (e.g., 16 kHz) affect treble sounds.
