Setting Up for Surround Sound
1
CHANNEL LEVEL should be selected. If
it isn’t use the
5∞
buttons to select
and press ENTER.
2
There are three ways to set the
CHANNEL LEVEL: MANUAL; SEMI
AUTO; AUTO. Select a setting mode
with the
5∞
buttons and pressing
ENTER. Test tones will be output.
MANUAL:
For this setting method you move the test
tone manually and adjust the channel level.
SEMI AUTO:
in this setting the test tone moves by
itself and you set the levels.
AUTO:
This way of setting the levels is like that de-
scribed in the Quick Start Guide (p.14-17). The levels are
set automatically by the amplifier as it outputs the test
tones. For this setup you must have the setup mic
connected (see page 14).
WARNING :
Be prepared! The test tones are output at
a high volume level.
MASTER VOLUME rotates to the reference position (0 dB)
and the display on the amplifier flashes TEST TONE. After
a few seconds the test tone is output.
3
Adjust the level of each channel using
the
2 3
buttons (except for the AUTO
setting where the adjustment is done
automatically).
NOTE :
The volume of the subwoofer test tone tends to
sound lower than it actually is. You may need to adjust the
level after testing with an actual soundtrack.
In MANUAL (manual test tone) mode
This mode lets you switch the test tone between each
speaker the
5∞
buttons manually.
In SEMI AUTO (automatic test tone) mode
This mode switches the test tone between each speaker
automatically. The automatic test tone is output in the
following order:
FL
CT
FR
SR
SW
SL
SBL
SBR
Adjust the level of each speaker as the test tone is
emitted.
If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter
Take the readings from your main listening position and
adjust the level of each speaker to 75 dB SPL
(C-weighting/slow reading).
CHANNEL LEVEL (channel balance)
The following steps show you how to balance the sound output level of your speakers. Proper speaker balance
is essential for obtaining high quality surround sound. If continuing from CHANNEL DELAY go to step 1. If
starting fresh, complete steps 1-4 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.37) first. If you’re not sure of the best
setting for your system, we recommend setting the CHANNEL LEVEL to AUTO.
