Note
• Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the
“Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (➔ 54).
• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the AV receiver is
muted.
• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX, which is
0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen at vol-
ume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be
much louder.
•The “Level Calibration” setting cannot be selected if “Audio
TV Out” setting is set to “On”.

For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made

If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “1ch”, this setting cannot
be selected (➔ 54).
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 vol-
ume of each speaker can be set (➔ 56).
