SPEAKER DISTANCE

Your system’s speaker distance settings are a subtle but important refinement of your setup. Informing 

the T 765 of the loudspeaker-to-listener dimensions of each speaker automatically imposes the correct 

delays, optimizing imaging, intelligibility and surround-sound ambience. Enter your dimensions with 

precision within about 1 foot (30 cm).

SETTING SPEAKER DISTANCE

While at ‘Speaker Distance’ menu, use the 

 keys to individually set Front Left, Center, Front Right, 

Surround Right, Back Right, Back Left, Surround Left and Subwoofer to the distance measuring from your 

principal listening position to the front surface of their corresponding loudspeakers. Distance can be set 

up to 30 feet or 9.1 meters Distance can be displayed as feet or meters selectable at the ‘Unit of Measure’ 

item.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

In addition to the Volume knob, use the HTR 3’s VOL 

 to adjust the “master volume” of the T 765 raising 

or lowering the channels altogether. A momentary keypress will change the master volume by 1 dB 

increments. If you hold down VOL 

, 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 may sound “as loud” from one CD or DVD as -10 does 

from another.

The T 765 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 765 will power up at –20 dB. This prevents 

inadvertently beginning a session at excessive volume.

MUTING THE SOUND

Use the HTR 3’s ‘Mute’ key to silence all channels completely. Muting is always available regardless of 

the source or listening mode selections.

NOTES

• 

Changing input or listening-mode selections does not release muting. 

• 

Adjusting the volume level via the AVR 3 or the front panel volume knob will automatically release 

the mute function.

ADJUSTING CHANNEL LEVELS ‘ON THE FLY’

You can make changes to the relative levels of center, surround and subwoofer outputs without 

having to go into the ‘Speaker Levels’ menu. This is very convenient in circumstances like increasing (or 

tone down) a film’s dialog level by raising (lowering) the center channel or reducing excessive deep 

bass (or enhance deep bass) by lowering (raising) the subwoofer level.

Use the HTR 3’s ’SURR,’ ‘CENT’ and ‘SUB’ keys for direct-access level adjustment of these channels over a 

range of ±6 dB. 

The surround back channels (if any) adjust in lockstep with the surround channels.

NOTE

Level settings adjusted ‘On the Fly’ are added or subtracted to the setup levels established at the 

T 765 level-calibration routine as invoked by the HTR 3 ‘Test’ key. However, selecting any Preset will 

revert the channel levels to those stored in the preset. It will also take T 765 off the levels set via 

Audyssey Setup.
