After a single calibration is performed, each of the following three correction curves can be stored separately in the MCACC memory. SYMMETRY implements symmetric correction for each pair of left and right speakers to flatten the frequency-amplitude characteristics. ALL CH ADJ is a ‘flat’ setting where all the speakers are set individually so no special weighting is given to any one channel. FRONT ALIGN1 sets all speakers in accordance with the front speaker settings (no equalization is applied to the front left and right channels).

THX Speaker (only available when the Auto MCACC Menu above is ALL or Speaker Setting) – Select YES if you are using THX speakers (set all speakers to SMALL), otherwise leave it set to NO.

3Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.
