Basic Setup —Continued
Speaker Level Calibration
This section explains how to adjust the level of each
speaker individually using the built-in test tone so that
the volume of each speaker is the same at the listening
position.
Notes:
• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of
the DTR-8.4 is muted, while a pair of headphones is
connected, or when using the multichannel inputs.
• Since the DTR-8.4 supports THX, the test tone is
output at the standard level of 0 dB (absolute vol-
ume setting 82). If you normally listen at volume
settings below this, be careful because the test tone
will be much louder.
Notes:
• This procedure can also be performed by using the
remote controller’s [Test Tone] button. First press the
[Test Tone] button to output the test tone. Use the
[Level–] and [Level+] buttons to adjust the speaker
volume, and use the [CH SEL] button to select the
other speakers.
•To calibrate the speaker more accurately, use a com-
mercially available sound pressure level (SPL) meter.
