2 Select the setting you want to adjust.

If you’re doing this for the first time, you might want to make these settings in order.

Fine Channel Level – Make fine adjustments to the overall balance of your speaker system (see Fine Channel Level below).

Fine SP Distance – Make precise delay settings for your speaker system (see Fine Speaker Distance below).

Standing Wave – Control overly resonant low frequencies in your listening room (see Standing Wave on page 48).

The last two settings are specifically for customizing the parameters explained in Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 48:

EQ Adjust – Manually adjust the frequency balance of your speaker system while listening to test tones (see Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 48).

EQ Professional – Calibrate your system based on the direct sound coming from the speakers and make detailed settings according to your room’s reverb characteristics (see Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional on page 49).

Fine Channel Level

• Default setting: 0.0dB (all channels)

You can achieve better surround sound by properly adjusting the overall balance of your speaker system. You can adjust the Channel Level of each speaker in 0.5 dB increments. The following setting can help you make detailed adjustments that you may not achieve using the Manual speaker setup on page 55.

Fine Speaker Distance

• Default setting: 10’00’’ (all speakers)

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. You can adjust the distance of each speaker in 1 inch increments. The following setting can help you make detailed adjustments that you may not achieve using the Manual speaker setup on page 55.
