OPERATION
The average home audio speaker sensitivity is 88dB SPL (8 ohms, 1 watt,
1 meter). Check the sensitivity specification for your loudspeakers, found
in the owner’s manual or on the manufacturer’s Web site. If your speakers
have a sensitivity rating greater than 88dB SPL, increase Calibration Offset
by the difference between your speakers’ sensitivity and 88dB. If they have
a sensitivity rating of less than 88dB SPL, decrease Calibration Offset by the
difference between your speakers’ sensitivity and 88dB.
To adjust the Calibration Offset, press the AVR Settings Button and scroll to
the System Setup menu, then select it. Scroll to the Dolby Volume Calibration
line, which defaults to 0dB. Use the
M N
Buttons to adjust the setting within
the range of –10dB to +10dB.

To temporarily mute all speakers and the headphones, press the Mute Button
on the remote. Any recording in progress will not be affected. The MUTE
message will appear in the display as a reminder. To restore normal audio,
press the Mute Button again, or adjust the volume. Turning off the AVR will
also end muting.

disables the sleep timer.
When the sleep timer has been set, the front-panel display will automatically

time will be displayed. Press the Sleep Button again to change the play time.
