Calibration
Move your head from side to side to find
the position where the noise is full left,
and the right ear hears near total silence.
When calibrating right, if your left ear is
in the silent band, the speaker angle is
correct.
If the two silent bands are too close, lower
the Speaker Angle; if they are too far
apart, raise the Speaker Angle.
From the Setup menu, use the PARAM button to select the LISTENER POS
menu, then press PARAM three times to show the following display:
CALIBRATE NOISE
CALIBRATE LEFT ONLY
If you are symmetrically centered between the two front speakers, the test
signal should sound as though it is coming from off to your left side, well
beyond the left speaker, with near-total silence in your right ear. Still facing
forward, move your head from side to side until the effect is strongest.To
make sure you have found this sweet spot, press PARAM to call up the
following display:
SPKR/LSTNR ANG °
XX
Press the PARAM and buttons until you hear the strongest effect.
(When you have found it, you will notice an almost physical sensation of
silence in your right ear.) Push PARAM repeatedly until you return to the
CALIBRATE LEFT ONLY display.
Press PARAM , the display will read:
CALIBRATE NOISE
CALIBRATE RIGHT ONLY
Again, shift your head from side to side to find the sweet spot, this time
looking for the point where the sound is strongest in your right ear.
Compare the locations of the two sweet spots by pressing PARAM to call
up LEFT ONLY, then pressing PARAM and to toggle between LEFT
ONLY and RIGHT ONLY.
If the sweet spots do not coincide, press PARAM to return to the SPKR./
LSTNR ANG° display. If the first sweet spot is to the left of the second, press
PARAM ; if it is to the right, press PARAM .
If your normal listening position is not centered between your two front
speakers, once you have correctly set the speaker angle, you may want to
"move" the sweet spot to that position. To do this, press PARAM to get to
LISTENER POS and use PARAM and to move the effect. As you adjust
the position, the display will indicate motion to the left of center
(L001,L002,L003...L127), CENTER, or to the right of center
(R001,R002,R003...R127). The numbers represent approximately 1/3", but
are provided primarily as a general reference.
The Panorama mode is now calibrated. Press the SETUP button to store
these settings and return to the main setup menu.
