SETUP menu, select "Default". The "None" setting is not available for
FRONT speakers.
DTS (Default/Large/Small/None): The same options described for Dolby
above, except these settings ONLY take effect with DTS decoding.
STEREO (Default/Large/Small/None): The same options described for Dolby
above, except these settings ONLY take effect in STEREO surround mode.
For the subwoofer, the above selections for DOLBY, DTS, and STEREO
become "Yes/No/Default". They will be set to "Default" if the front speakers
are set to "Default", and they would be set to "Yes" if the front speakers
are set to "Small".
NOTE: When the front speakers are set to use the default settings on
the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu, the specific "Large/Small/
None" settings of DOLBY, DTS or STEREO are not available for the
other speakers. These speakers will use the default settings.

Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to move to the specific surround mode and
use the Left/Right arrow buttons to adjust the subwoofer level for the current
surround mode. The options are a range of adjustments from -9 dB to +9
dB and MAX (+10 dB). A setting of 0 dB means that the specified surround
mode will use the master subwoofer level. Any other setting is an offset to
the master setting. For example, an adjustment of -2 dB for a particular
surround mode means that the subwoofer level will be 2 dB quieter than
the master subwoofer level when that surround mode is selected. Use these
subwoofer level settings to adjust the relative bass output of various surround
modes. Changing the master subwoofer level will increase or decrease the
level for all surround modes.
We recommend starting with the settings for all surround modes at the
default 0 dB setting during the speaker level calibration of the system and
for a period of familiarization after that. As you listen to a variety of source
material over time, you may notice that certain surround modes consistently
produce too much or too little bass from the subwoofer. If so, then use these
menu settings to customize each surround mode. In general, if the master
subwoofer level is set properly (i.e. not too loud), individual settings for
each surround mode should not be necessary.

NOTE: If you have configured your system to use two center back
speakers, there will be an additional line in the menu, giving you the
ability to independently adjust the CENTER BACK LEFT and CENTER
BACK RIGHT speakers.
This menu uses filtered pink noise test tones to set equal volume levels for
all speakers (FRONT LEFT, CENTER, FRONT RIGHT, SURROUND RIGHT,
CENTER BACK RIGHT, CENTER BACK LEFT, OVERHEAD FRONT RIGHT,
OVERHEAD REAR RIGHT, OVERHEAD REAR LEFT, OVERHEAD FRONT LEFT,
SURROUND LEFT and SUBWOOFER) to ensure proper surround sound
reproduction. Setting the output levels using the test procedure provides the
most accurate adjustment so that digital surround sound material will be
reproduced as it was intended and is a critical step in calibrating the system.
The Audio Configuration will determine which speakers are displayed in
the Speaker Level Setup menu.
When you enter the SPEAKER LEVEL SETUP menu, you will hear a test tone
coming from the highlighted speaker. Highlight different speakers by moving
the cursor to the desired line using the Up/Down arrow buttons. The test
tone will shift accordingly to the selected speaker.
Seated in the normal listening location, shift the test tone to the various
speakers. Using the one speaker as a reference, listen for any speakers that
are noticeably louder or quieter. If so, adjust that speaker's levels up or down
(in 0.5 dB increments) using the Left/Right arrow buttons. Continue switching
among the speakers and adjusting until all speakers are the same volume.
To return to the MAIN menu, select "BACK" on the OSD or press the BACK
button. Press the SETUP button or select "EXIT" on the OSD to exit setup
and return to normal operation.
Calibration with an SPL meter:
Calibrating the system with an SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter, rather than
by ear, provides more precise results and improves the system's performance
significantly. Inexpensive SPL meters are widely available and the procedure
is quick and easy.
Both Dolby and DTS specify a standard calibration level for all theaters
to ensure that soundtracks can be played at the volume level intended by
the director of the film. This reference level should result in spoken dialog
played at a realistic level for normal speech with the loudest peaks in any
single channel at about 105 dB. The RSP-1576's test tones are generated at
a precise level (-30 dBFs) relative to the loudest possible digitally recorded
sound. At the Dolby or DTS reference level, these test tones should produce
a 75 dB reading on an SPL meter.
