2 Select the setting you want to adjust.

If you’re doing this for the first time, you might want to make these settings in order.

•Fine Ch Level – Make fine adjustments to the overall balance of your speaker system (see Fine Channel Level below).

•Fine SP Distance – Make precise delay settings for your speaker system (see Fine Speaker Distance on page 44).

•Standing Wave – Control overly resonant low frequencies in your listening room (see Standing Wave on page 44).

The last two settings are specifically for customizing the parameters explained in Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 45:

•EQ Adjust – Manually adjust the frequency balance of your speaker system while listening to test tones (see Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 45).

•EQ Professional – Calibrate your system based on the direct sound coming from the speakers and make detailed settings according to your room’s reverb characteristics (see Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional on page 45).
