Set-Up - Speaker Levels

This sub menu allows the user to set the relative level of each speaker in order to reflect the audio system

speaker configuration, room characteristics, or the listener’s preference. The relative range is -15dB to

+10dB. These levels are stored in the Casablanca’s memory and can be changed in the

SET-UP

Speaker

Levels

sub menu shown in figure 12. The

BALANCE

function (discussed later) allows the user to

temporarily adjust the Left/Right and Front/Rear balances, and the Center & Sub channel levels to

compensate for differences in program material or source.

To display the

SET-UP

Speaker Levels

sub menu from the

MAIN

menu press

SET-UP

once, then button

(

SPEAKER LVLS)

once. The current relative level of each configured speaker will be displayed on the top

row of the LCD. Additionally, the sub menu title “

LEVELS

” will be displayed in the upper right corner. Below

the sub menu title, the

SOURCE

(the name assigned to the current input) is displayed. It is important to note

that this is a global function, thus levels are not stored by source.

To aid in establishing a desired system speaker level balance, the Casablanca provides the user with the

option of either routing the currently selected audio signal to the outputs, or routing an internally generated

noise signal to either the currently selected speaker or to all speakers simultaneously.**

This function is accessed via the

A-D

button in the

SET-UP

Speaker Levels

sub menu. Press buttons

to select a speaker. Pressing the

A-D

button repeatedly toggles through these two sources. Table 4 shows

the 3 possible routings. When the

A-D

button is pressed, the source name will appear in the LCD below the

sub menu title.

Note

: It is recommended that levels be set relative to the front Left and Right speakers. The first step would

be to adjust the Left and Right level value(s) to zero dB. The remaining speakers can be adjusted

accordingly by pressing buttons

one at a time, then pressing

LEVEL UP

LEVEL DOWN

to increase or

decrease each speaker’s relative level using an SPL meter, until the desired system balance is established.

** Due to the

SUBS

natural frequency vs. level response, a noise signal sent to it/them would not give the

user an appropriate sense of its/their response level. Therefore, the

SUBS

are not selectable when the noise

generating feature is active.
