and then
SELECT
r
to
return to the
M A I N M E N U
. At this
point the output levels for all channels
will be set to a reference so that the sound
level is the same from each speaker. This
compensates for the differences between
the speakers used and the distance each
speaker is from your listening position.
At this point you may wish to adjust the
rear channel delay time. See the Advanced
Features section later in this manual for
information on delay settings.
NOTE:
Before setting the output levels it
is critical that the front panel bass

and treble controls
ı
be set to their
center, or “12 o’clock” position. This
ensures accurate results.

whose level is being set.
NOTE:
This procedure will only operate if
the AVR70 is in the

that speaker will flash on the screen. Use
the

on the remote to change the
level of the test noise so that it appears to
be equal in level to the Front Left speaker.

and repeat the procedure for the Front
Right and Surround channels. Each
time, use the
ADJUST

¤
buttons
w
on the remote to change
the volume level so that all speakers
match, and then press
SPEAKER
v
to
move to the next channel.
Subwoofers cannot be adjusted separately
by the Menu system. If neccessary adjust
by the volume poti of the subwoofer
amplifier.
NOTE:
This test also serves as an
opportunity to verify that all speakers are
properly connected. If the sound from a
speaker location does not match the
location shown on the video and front
panel displays, turn the AVR70 off and
check the speaker wiring to make certain
that the speaker is connected to the
correct output terminals.
14. When all speakers appear to have an
equal volume, press the
‹
button
q
on
the remote to complete the procedure.
NOTE:
For a more accurate calibration of
the speaker output levels perform the test
outlined in steps 10 through 13 using a
sound pressure level (SPL) meter. It is
recommended that the output for each
channel measure 75 dB (C-weighted,
slow) on the meter.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You have
completed a basic set up and you are now
ready to enjoy the finest in home theater
and music listening enjoyment.
