Setting The Channel Level - Denon AVC-A11SR Bedienungsanleitung

Setting the channel level

• Use this setting to adjust so that the playback level between the different channels is equal.
• From the listening position, listen to the test tones produced from the speakers to adjust the level.
• The level can also be adjusted directly from the remote control unit. (For details, see page 27.)
• When using both surround speakers A and B, their playback levels can be adjusted separately.

To cancel the settings, select "Level Clear" and "Yes" on the "Channel Level" screen, then make the
settings again.
The level of each channel should be adjusted to 75 dB (C-weighted, slow meter mode) on a sound level meter
at the listening position.
If a sound level meter is not available adjust the channels by ear so the sound levels are the same. Because
adjusting the subwoofer level test tone by ear is difficult, use a well known music selection and adjust for natural
balance.
NOTE: When adjusting the level of an active subwoofer system, you may also need to adjust the subwoofer's
own volume control.
