2There are two ways to adjust the Acoustic Calibration EQ, MANUAL and AUTO. Use the 5∞ buttons to select the type of setting you want to use and

press ENTER.

MANUAL: Of these manual settings you can choose ALL CH ADJ mode or FRONT ALIGN mode.

ALL CH ADJ mode (flat curve): All the speakers are set individually (except for the subwoofer). No special weighting is given to any channel over any other channel so this setting is the most direct representation of the source being played.

FRONT ALIGN mode (front speaker curve): All speakers (except for the subwoofer) are set in accordance with the settings of the FRONT speak- ers. This setting allows the listener to enjoy a sound balance defined by the front speakers (the main speakers for home theater).

AUTO: The frequency balance is set automatically by the amplifier (see page 14) and both types of manual calibration are adjusted this way.

WARNING : Be prepared! The test tones are output at a high volume level.

3If you're using a MANUAL setting, use the 2 3 buttons to select the speaker

and press ENTER.

If you have selected the FRONT ALIGN mode, you can’t set the frequency for the front left and right speakers.

4Use the 2 3 buttons to select the frequency and 5∞ buttons to add or

subtract decibels from that frequency.

Changing the frequency balance of one channel too drastically will result in a poor overall level balance. You can adjust the speaker levels using the WIDE feature, which allows you to align the speaker level while listening to the test tone.

To use the WIDE feature, use 3 to move to the far right side of the OSD then use and 5 to raise or lower the level of that channel.

memo The message EQ GAIN OVER indicates there is a possibility the sound will distort due to an extreme frequency balance. If this message appears, adjust the frequency balance accordingly.

5When you have the frequency balance you want for that speaker press ENTER to move to the next speaker and repeat step 3.

6Select RETURN with the 5∞ buttons

when done and press ENTER.

You will return to the SURROUND SETUP menu.

If you want to proceed to CHECK THE AUTO SETTINGS select return and press ENTER. If you want exit the setup process select EXIT and press ENTER.
