This appears according to the setting you chose in Reverb Measurement (step 3 on page 45). Use / to select the channel and the frequency you want to check. Use /to go back and forth between the two. Note that the markers on the vertical axis indicate decibels in 2 dB steps.

5If ‘Advanced EQ Setup’ is selected, enter the desired time setting for calibration. Press to proceed to the next screen, and then select START.

Based on the reverb measurement above, you can choose the time period that will be used for the final frequency adjustment and calibration. Even though you can make this setting without reverb measurement, it is best to use the measurement results as a reference for your time setting. For an optimal system calibration based on the direct sound coming from the speakers, we recommend using the 30~50ms setting.

Data Management

This system allows you to store up to six MCACC presets, allowing you to calibrate your system for different listening positions (or frequency adjustments for the

same listening position).1 This is useful for alternate settings to match the kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting (for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a video game close to the TV).

From this menu you can check your current settings, copy from one preset to another, name presets for easier identification and clear any ones you don’t need.

1Select ‘Data Management’ from the System Setup menu.

See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu on page 38 if you’re not already at this screen.

Use / to select the channel, frequency, and time setting. Use / to switch between them.

You can switch between your connected speakers (excluding the subwoofer), and display the measurements for the following frequencies: 63Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz and 16kHz.

Select the setting from the following time periods (in milliseconds): 0~20ms, 10~30ms, 20~40ms, 30~50ms, 40~60ms, 50~70ms and 60~80ms. This setting will be applied to all channels during calibration.

When you’re finished, select START. It will take about 2 to 4 minutes for the calibration to finish.

After the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set, you are given the option to check the settings on-screen.

Memory Rename – Names your MCACC presets for easy identification (see Renaming MCACC presets on page 47).

MCACC Memory Copy – Copies settings from one MCACC preset to another (see Copying MCACC preset data on page 47).

MCACC Memory Clear – Clears any MCACC presets that you don’t want (see Clearing MCACC presets on page 47).

Output PC – See Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC output on page 66 for more on this.

Note

1This can be done in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 10 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 38, either of which you should have already completed.
