[. . . ] SETTING SPEAKER LEVELS AT TEST MODE While at ‘Speaker Levels’ menu, press the HTR 8 remote’s [TEST] key activating the T 787’s Speaker Levels balancing test signal . You will hear a “surf” sound as you step through your speakers (‘test’ appears to the right side of the current speaker), beginning with the Front Left. If you do not hear the test signal, check your speaker connections or your ‘Speaker Setup’ OSD menu settings. Use the remote’s [D/F] keys to adjust the loudness of the noise output from the currently playing channel to the required level (it’s usually simplest to begin with the Front Left). As you cycle the test signal around the speakers, the OSD will highlight the currently playing channel. The “level offset” reading on the right will change by 1 dB increments; ±12 dB adjustment is available. NOTE If you are balancing levels “by ear”, choose one speaker—usually the center—as a reference and adjust each of the others in turn to “sound as loud” as the reference. Be sure that you remain in the primary listening position while balancing all channels. To produce the same SPL meter reading (or subjective loudness), use the remote’s [D/F] keys to adjust each speaker. NOTES • All speakers must be in their final locations before level-setting. • Your subwoofer (if any) should be set with its integral crossover defeated, or if undefeatable, set to its highest-possible frequency if you are using the T 787's Subwoofer output. Final subwoofer-level adjustment “by-ear, ” using music and film sound material, is frequently useful. • Due to the effects of room acoustics, matched-pair speakers (front; surround; back) will not always calibrate to exactly the same level offset readings. You can exit ‘Test’ mode at any time by pressing [A] key, bringing you back to ‘Speaker Setup’ menu. You can also press the [TEST] key to discontinue the ‘Test’ mode. In addition to the Volume knob, use the HTR 8’s [VOL D/F] to adjust the “master volume” of the T 787 raising or lowering the channels altogether. A momentary keypress will change the master volume by 1 dB increments. If you hold down [VOL D/F], the master-volume change will “run-on” until the key is released. Since recordings vary considerably in overall average level, there is no imperative to listen at any particular master-volume setting. A setting of -20 dB may sound “as loud” from one CD or DVD as -10 dB does from another. The T 787 will power-up from Standby mode at whatever master volume setting was last used; however, if the prior setting was greater than –20 dB, the T 787 will power up at –20 dB. MUTING THE SOUND Use the HTR 8’s [MUTE] key to silence all channels completely. [. . . ] • Check IR windows and ensure clear lineof-sight from remote to T 787. • Tune to an RDS station that supports program-service name (PS mode) and radio-text mode (RT). • Call your local DAB broadcast providers for coverage information. • Play a known 5. 1-channel recording or select Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode.
