HTP-071 - Channel Level Adjustment

Using the channel level settings, you can adjust the overall balance of your speaker system, an important factor when setting up a home theater system.

CAUTION: The test tones used in the System Setup are output at high volume.

1. Use to select ‘SP SETUP’ from the System Setup menu, then press ENTER.
2. Use to select ‘CH LEVEL’ from the SP SETUP menu, then press ENTER.
3. Use to select a setup option.
   • T. TONE M – Move the test tone manually from speaker to speaker and adjust individual channel levels.
   • T. TONE A – Adjust channel levels as the test tone moves from speaker to speaker automatically.
4. Confirm your selected setup option. The test tones will start after you press ENTER. After the volume increases to the reference level, test tones will be output.
5. Use to adjust the level of each channel. If you selected T. TONE M, use to switch speakers. The T. TONE A setup outputs test tones in the following order (depends on speaker settings):
   L C R SR SBR SBL SL SW
   Adjust the level of each speaker as the test tone is emitted.
   NOTE: If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and adjust the level of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).
   The subwoofer test tone is output at low volumes. You may need to adjust the level after testing with an actual soundtrack.
6. When you’re finished, press RETURN. You return to the Speaker Setup menu.

TIP: You can change the channel levels at any time by press RECEIVER, then press CH SELECT and LEV +/– on the remote control. You can also press CH SELECT and use to select the channel, and then use to adjust the channel levels.
