switch to the Back Surround Loudspeaker(s) followed
by the Left Surround and Subwoofer. The MSE1 DE-
LAY/TRIM display will read 0 for each channel be-
fore any adjustments are performed.
Note: The MSE1 Front Panel DELAY/TRIM Display will read
0 for each channel before any adjustments are
performed and the OUTPUT FORMAT LEDs will light
to indicate which channel is reproducing the test signal.
3. While seated in the listening area, note the volume lev-
els of the test signal from each of the channels as the
test signal switches. If you determine that the test sig-
nal volume is louder or softer in any of the channels,
the levels should be adjusted so you hear essentially the
same test signal volume from all of the channels. The
Left Surround Loudspeaker can serve as a reference.
4. Make channel level calibration adjustments by using the
LEVEL
p
and
q
push-buttons, the DELAY/VOL-
UME display instantly changes to indicate the calibra-
tion level change in dB. If the level is increased, the
display shows plus numbers, and if decreased shows
minus numbers. Calibration levels can be adjusted over
a range of ±6dB. If an adjustment is made on a channel,
there is an additional 2 second time interval on that
channel before the system switches the test signal to
the next channel.
5. When the test signal switches to succeeding channels,
repeat the level calibration process until the test signal
volume levels of all the channels are the same.
6. The calibration channel cycling mode can be repeated
as often as necessary until you are satisfied that the vol-
ume levels of the test signal are the same from all chan-
nels.
Note: A Surround Level Calibration Table to the right is
provided to record your settings.
7. Exit the System Calibration mode by pressing the SYS
CAL push-button a second time.
