•Auto Pro. – The receiver automatically sets an early time period (20–40 ms or 60–80 ms) for reverb measurement, giving you a system calibration based on the direct sound coming from the speakers. The frequency balance for each channel is then adjusted to minimize the effect of the room characteristics on the overall sound.

•Manual Pro. – You can set an early time period for reverb measurement manually, giving you the flexibility to choose the direct sound calibration that works best with your listening area. After you have made this setting, the frequency balance for each channel is adjusted automatically, calibrating your system according to your custom setting.
