 CHANNEL LEVEL (channel balance)
The following steps show you how to balance the sound output level of your speakers. Proper speaker balance
is essential for obtaining high quality surround sound. If continuing from SPEAKER SETTING go to step 1. If
starting fresh, complete steps 1-2 on page 39.
• If your subwoofer has a volume control, set
it to the middle position before doing these
operations.
• 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 75dB SPL (C-weighting/
slow reading).
• The volume of the subwoofer test tone
tends to sound lower than it actually is. You
may need to adjust the level after testing
your system with an actual soundtrack.
