Changing the Channel Level

The default channel level settings are 0 dB for each speaker. You can
change the speakers’ sound distribution to suit your surround sound
needs. For example, if you are closer to the left front speaker than the
right front speaker, the left front speaker might seem “louder” than the
right one. To adjust it, you must change the channel level for one or
both speakers until the sound evens out.

Follow these steps to change the channel level.

Changing the Speaker Distance

When you have your home theater arrangement the way you want it
(speakers, receiver, and any components), you can change the
speaker distance entered in the receiver’s memory. The default set-
tings are 10 ft.

1. Imagine there is a straight line running from the front left speaker

to the front right speaker.

2. Measure the distance in a perpendicular line from your listening

position (for example, your couch) to the imaginary line.

Note: Do not meaure the distance to the speakers, just the line.

3. Repeat Steps 1–2 for the rear (surround) speakers.

4. Measure the distance in a perpendicular line from your listening

position (for example, your couch) to the center speaker.
