SETTING CHANNEL LEVELS IN TEST MODE
While at “Channel Levels” menu, press the HTR 7 remote’s [Test] key
activating the VISO FIVE’s Channel Levels balancing test signal (lower line
of the VFD will show “Test Tone”). You will hear a “surf” sound as you step
through your speakers beginning with the Front Left. If you do not hear the
test signal, check your speaker connections or your “Speaker settings” OSD
menu settings.
Use the remote’s [
] keys to adjust the loudness of the noise output
from the currently playing channel to the required level (it’s usually
simplest to begin with the Front Left). As you cycle the test signal around
the speakers, the OSD will highlight the currently playing channel. The
“level oset” reading on the right will change by 1 dB increments; ±12 dB
adjustment is available. Press [
] to adjust the next speaker.
NOTE
If you are balancing levels “by ear”, choose one speaker—usually the
center— as a reference and adjust each of the others in turn to “sound as
loud” as the reference. Be sure that you remain in the primary listening
position while balancing all channels.
To produce the same SPL meter reading (or subjective loudness), use the
remote’s [
] keys to adjust each speaker.
NOTES
• All speakers must be in their nal locations before level-setting.
• Your subwoofer (if any) should be set with its integral crossover defeated,
or if undefeatable, set to its highest-possible frequency if you are using
the VISO FIVE’s Subwoofer output. Final subwoofer-level adjustment
“by-ear”, using music and lm sound material, is frequently useful.
• Due to the eects of room acoustics, matched-pair speakers (front;
surround) will not always calibrate to exactly the same level oset
readings.
You can exit “Test” mode at any time by pressing the HTR 7 remote’s [Test].
