Level Calibration
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.

Note
• These settings cannot be calibrated when the AV receiver is
muted.
• Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in “Speaker
Configuration” cannot be selected (➔ page 64).
•When the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 2
is turned on, the surround back and front high speakers cannot be
used.
•When the “Powered Zone 3” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 3
is turned on, the surround speakers cannot be used.
• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX, which is
0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen at
volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will
be much louder.

For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made
by using the Quick Setup are saved in this menu (➔ page 56).

If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “1ch”, this setting cannot
be selected (➔ page 64).
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
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of
speakers individually with a 7-band equalizer. The volume
of each speaker can be set (➔ page 66).
■ Manual Equalizer

• If “Audyssey” is enabled, it prevails over this setting
(➔ page 72).

You can apply THX’s Boundary Gain Compensation
(BGC) to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low
frequencies for listeners sitting very close to a room
boundary (i.e., wall).
Note
• This setting is only available if “THX Ultra2/Select2
Subwoofer” is set to “Yes”.
• If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No”, this setting cannot be
