ENHANCED BASS

When the subwoofer is set to ON and “Front” is set to “Large”, Enhanced Bass

becomes available. Normally, with speakers set to “Large” the subwoofer is

not active.

The Enhanced Bass option allows full range operation of the speakers

with the additional bass contribution of the subwoofer. This feature is

particularly useful when one wants to experience maximum bass output.

Please note that due to acoustic cancellation eects, the bass response

may be uneven when using this setting

You can set Subwoofer to “On” even with “Large” front speakers, in which

case bass content from any channels set to “Small” will be routed to both

the subwoofer and to the front speakers; LFE-channel signal will pass only

to the sub. In most subwoofer-equipped systems, setting front speakers to

“Small” is usually the better option.

All the speakers’ low frequency content can be directly adjusted within the

range 40Hz to 200Hz.

NOTE

The congurations set forth at “Speaker Setup” are carried over

whenever it is enabled during A/V Presets setting. Please see also the

section “A/V Presets” for reference.

SPEAKER LEVELS

Adjusting the relative balance of your system’s loudspeakers ensures that

surround-sound recordings, whether music or lm, will present the balance

of eects, music, and dialog that the artists intended. Additionally, if your

system incorporates a subwoofer, it establishes a correct relationship

between the volume of the subwoofer and the other speakers, and thus of

low-frequencies (bass) to other sonic elements.

USING AN SPL METER

It is quite practical to perform the M17 level setup routines “by ear,” and

careful work will produce acceptably accurate results. However, the use

of an inexpensive sound-pressure level (SPL) meter, such as Radio Shack

part number 33-2050, makes this task easier, more accurate and more

repeatable. Ownership of such a meter could prove a valuable audio tool.

The SPL meter should be placed at the primary listening position, at

approximately the height of the seated listener’s head. A tripod is helpful

but with a little duct tape almost anything - a pole lamp, music-stand,

or ladder-backed chair, for example - can do as well. Just be sure that no

large acoustically reective surfaces obstruct or are near the microphone

element.

Orient the meter with its microphone (usually at one end) pointing straight

up toward the ceiling (not toward the speakers) and ensure that “C”

weighting scale is selected. Set the meter to display 75 dB SPL. On Radio

Shack meters, this necessitates either setting the meter to its 80 dB range

and taking your readings at the -5 point or selecting the 70 dB range and

reading at the +5 point.

SETTING SPEAKER LEVELS IN TEST MODE

While at “Speaker Levels” menu, press the HTRM 2 remote’s [TEST] key

activating the M17’s Speaker Levels balancing test signal. You will hear

a “surf” sound as you step through your speakers (“Test Mode Active” is

shown beside the Speaker Setup heading), beginning with the Front Left.

If you do not hear the test signal, check your speaker connections or your

“Speaker Conguration” 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 oset” reading on the right will change by 0.5dB increments; ±12 dB

adjustment is available. Press [ENTER] to adjust the next speaker.

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 nal 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

M17’s Subwoofer output. Final subwoofer-level adjustment “by-ear,” using

music and lm sound material, is frequently useful.

• Due to the eects of room acoustics, matched-pair speakers (front;

surround; back) will not always calibrate to exactly the same level oset

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.

If Dirac Live calibration is completed and selected, the Dirac Speakers Level

settings will be shown.
