Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually

Before manually adjusting the Acoustic Calibration EQ, we recommend copying the ALL CH ADJUST or the FRONT ALIGN settings from the auto setup above (or from Automatically setting up for surround sound on page 12) to one of the custom settings. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start (see Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings below for how to do this).

1Select ‘Acoustic Cal EQ’ from the Expert setup menu.

3Select which method you would like to use to adjust the overall frequency balance.

It is best to choose whichever one you copied to the custom setting in Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings below.

•ALL CH ADJUST – All the speakers can be set independently so no special weighting is given to any one channel. When adjusting, test tones will sound for each individual channel.

82

•FRONT ALIGN – Speakers are set in accordance with the front speaker settings. The sound of the test tone will alternate between the left front (reference) speaker and the target speaker.

4Select the channel(s) you want and adjust to your liking.

Use the

(cursor up/down) buttons to select the

channel (and ENTER to select it).

Use the

(cursor up/down) buttons to select the

frequency and

(cursor up/down) to boost or cut the

EQ. When you’re finished, the cursor automatically moves to the next channel after you press ENTER.

•The front speakers can’t be adjusted if you selected

FRONT ALIGN.

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 (cursor up/down) to raise or lower the channel level for the current speaker.

5 When you're finished, select ‘Exit’.

Select Exit again to confirm your custom settings and return to the Acoustic Cal EQ setup menu.

Note

•Note that five bands are available for adjustment here, however six bands are measured and displayed with the Professional Acoustic Calibration on

page 84(including the PC graphical output feature). The 1kHz band acts as a reference setting (to ensure optimal adjustment of the other frequency settings) for a total of six band adjustment.
