Fine Speaker Distance

For proper sound depth and separation with your system, it is necessary to add a slight bit of delay to some speakers so that all sounds will arrive at the listening position at the same time. 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.

Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ

L(Reference)

3.0 m

ENTER:Next :Cancel

After pressing ENTER, test tones will be output.

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.

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.
