frequencies. Depending on speaker placement, your listening position, and ultimately the shape of your room, it results in an overly resonant (‘boomy’) sound. The Standing Wave Control uses filters to reduce the effect of overly resonant sounds in your listening area. During playback of a source, you can customize the filters used for Standing Wave Control for each of your MCACC

presets.1

1Select ‘Standing Wave’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.

•Filter Ch – Select the channel to which you will apply the filter(s): Main (all except center channel and subwoofer), Center or SUB W. (subwoofer).

•TRIM (only available when the filter channel above is SUB W.) – Adjust the subwoofer channel level (to compensate for the difference in output post-filter).

•f / Q / ATT – These are the filter parameters where f represents the frequency you will be targeting and Q is the bandwidth (the higher the Q, the narrower the bandwidth, or range) of the attenuation (ATT, the amount of reduction to the targeted frequency).

Acoustic Calibration EQ

Acoustic Calibration Equalization is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers (excluding the subwoofer). It works by measuring the acoustic characteristics of your room and neutralizing the ambient characteristics that can color the original source material (providing a ‘flat’ equalization setting). If you’re not satisfied with the adjustment provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 8 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 33, you can also adjust these settings manually to get a frequency balance that suits your tastes.

Tip

•Changing the frequency curve of one channel too drastically will affect the overall balance. If the speaker balance seems uneven, you can raise or lower channel levels using test tones with the TRIM

feature. Use to select TRIM then use to raise or lower the channel level for the current speaker.

4 When you're finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.

Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ

This setup minimizes the unwanted effects of room reverberation by allowing you to calibrate your system based on the direct sound coming from the speakers. It can also provide you with a graphical output of the

frequency response of your room.2

Note

1• Since they will be overwritten, you may want to save the standing wave settings made with the Auto MCACC Setup to another MCACC preset.

•Standing Wave control filter settings cannot be changed during playback of sources using the HDMI connection.

2This system allows you to customize your system calibration with the help of a graphical output that can be displayed on-screen, or using a computer (with software available from Pioneer—see Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC output on page 57 for more on this).
