the listening position. The receiver can then add the
proper delay needed for effective surround sound.

Note
1 • 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.
2 The channel level cannot be adjusted using this procedure while making settings on HOME MENU.
3 Since the principal is the same, X-Curve isn't applied when you're using any of the Home THX modes (see Using the Home THX modes on
page 63).

acts as a kind of re-equalization for home theater
listening, and restores proper tonal balance of movie
