Using The Test Tone - Yamaha HTR-5790 Owner's Manual

ADVANCED OPERATIONS

Using the test tone

You can use the test tone feature to manually balance your
speaker levels. Please note that this operation will override
the level adjustments made in "AUTO SETUP" (page 24),
"Speaker level" (page 50) and "Manually adjusting
speaker levels" (page 45). Use the test tone to set speaker
levels so that the volume from each speaker is identical
when heard from your listening position.
y
• Use a handheld SPL meter, hold at arms length and point
upwards so that the meter is in the listening position. With the
meter set to the 70 dB scale and to C SLOW, calibrate each
speaker to 75 dB.
• Before outputting the test tone, we recommend that you set the
output volume to 0 dB.
Note
You cannot enter test mode if headphones are connected to the
PHONES jack. Remove the headphones from the PHONES jack.
