Fine Speaker Distance

• Default setting: 10.0 ft. (all channels)

The following setting can help you make detailed adjustments that you may not achieve using the Manual speaker setup below.

1Select ‘Fine SP Distance’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.

The volume increases to the reference level.

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.

•If you want to go back and adjust a channel, simply

use

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

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. This provides a ‘flat’ equalization setting. If you’re not satisfied with the automatic adjustment, you can also adjust these settings manually to get a frequency balance that suits your tastes.

Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically

If you have already completed Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 8, ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN (below) should already be set. Therefore, if you want to adjust your settings manually, you can skip to Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually below.

1Select ‘EQ Auto Setting’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.

As the receiver outputs test tones, the frequency balance is adjusted automatically for the following settings:

• ALL CH ADJUST – A ‘flat’ setting where all the speakers are set individually so no special weighting is given to any one channel.

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.
