Level calibration
This setting is set automatically by the Audyssey 2EQ™ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (see page 45).
Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same
at the listening position.
Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right, Right, Surr Right, Surr Back R,
Surr Back L, Surr Left, Subwoofer
The levels can be adjusted from –12 to +12 dB in 1 dB steps (–15 to +12 dB for the subwoofer).
Note:
Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration” (page 67) do not output the test tone.
Note:
The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of the AV receiver is muted.
Tip:
If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening
position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.
Equalizer Settings
This setting is set automatically by the Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (see page 45).
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of speakers individually with a 5-band equalizer. The volume of
each speaker can be set on page 69.
Notes:
• You can select: “63Hz”, “250Hz”, “1000Hz”, “4000Hz”, or “16000Hz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”,
“63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.
• While the Direct listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings have no effect.
Equalizer Manual: You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker manually. If you selected “Manual”,
continue with this procedure.
1 Press the Down [ ] button to select “Channel”, and then use the
Left and Right [
]/[ ] buttons to select a speaker.
2 Use the Up and Down [ ]/[ ] buttons to select a frequency, and
then use the Left and Right [
]/[ ] buttons to adjust the level at
that frequency.
The volume at each frequency can be adjusted from –6 to +6 dB in 1 dB
steps.
Tip:
Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high frequencies (e.g.,
16000Hz) affect treble sounds.
3 Use the Up [ ] button to select “Channel”, and then use the Left
and Right [
]/[ ] buttons to select another speaker.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker.
Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the Speaker Configuration
(page 67) cannot be selected.

Correction and Speaker Setup function. Be sure to select this setting after having
performed the Room Correction and Speaker Setup. “Dynamic EQ” and “Dynamic
Volume” become available (see page 71).
