Listen to the reference speaker and use it to measure the target channel. From the listening position, face the two speakers with your arms outstretched pointing at each speaker. Try to make the two tones sound as if they are arriving simultaneously at a position slightly in front of

you and between your arm span.1

When it sounds like the delay settings are matched up, press ENTER to confirm and continue to the next channel.

•For comparison purposes, the reference speaker will change depending on which speaker you select.

4When you're finished, press RETURN. You return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.

Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ

Acoustic Calibration Equalization is a kind of speaker equalizer. It works by measuring the acoustic characteristics of your listening room and turning the ambient environment into a natural state to reproduce the source sound as it was originally recorded. This is an equalizer that enables a ‘flat’ setting.

ENTER:Next :Cancel

After pressing ENTER, test tones will be output.

This setting minimizes the undesirable reverberation of your listening room based on the sound directly coming from the speakers. You can select a correction time period during the automatic calibration.

If you’re not satisfied with the automatic adjustment provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8, you can also adjust these settings manually to get a frequency balance that suits your tastes.

Note

1 If you can’t seem to achieve this by adjusting the distance setting, you may need to change the angle of your speakers very slightly.
