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.

•

STAND.WAVE Multi-P

(only available when

the

Auto MCACC

Menu above is

EQ Pro &

S-Wave

)

– In addition to measurements at

the listening position, you can use two more

reference points for which test tones will be

analyzed for standing waves. This is useful if

you want to get a balanced ‘flat’ calibration

for several seating positions in your

listening area.

Place the microphone at the

reference point indicated on-screen and

note

the last microphone placement will be

at your main listening position:

jack on the front panel.

Make sure there are no obstacles between the

speakers and the microphone.

If you have a tripod, use it to place the

microphone so that it’s about ear level at your

normal listening position. If you do not have a

tripod, use some other object to install the

microphone.3

5 Follow the instructions on-screen.

• Make sure the microphone is connected.

• If you’re using a subwoofer, it is

automatically detected every time you

switch on the system. Make sure it is on

and the volume is turned up.

• See Problems when using the Auto MCACC

Setup on page 40 for notes regarding high

background noise levels and other possible

interference.

Note

1 If you selected ALL or Keep SP System as your Auto MCACC menu, you can specify the MCACC preset where you

want to save the SYMMETRY, ALL CH ADJ and FRONT ALIGN settings.
