Copying MCACC preset data

If you want to manually adjust the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see Manual MCACC setup on page 41), we

recommend copying your current settings1 to an unused MCACC preset. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start.

1Select ‘MCACC Memory Copy’ from the Data Management setup menu.

4.Data Management		4c.MCACC Memory Copy
	a . MCACC Data Check	Copy
	b . Memory Rename	All Data	All Data
	c . MCACC Memory Copy	From
	d . MCACC Memory Clear	[ M1. MEMORY 1 ]
		To
		[ M2. MEMORY 2 ]
		Start Copy	[ Cancel ]
	:Return		:Cancel

2Select the setting you want to copy.

•All Data – Copies all the settings of the selected MCACC preset memory.

•LEVEL & DISTANCE – Copies only the channel level and speaker distance settings of the selected MCACC preset memory.

3Select the MCACC preset you’ll be copying the settings ‘From’, then specify where you want to copy them (‘To’).

Make sure you don’t overwrite an MCACC preset you’re currently using (this can’t be undone).

4Select ‘Copy’ to confirm and copy the settings. Completed! shows in the OSD to confirm the MCACC preset has been copied, then you automatically return to the Data Management setup menu.

Renaming MCACC presets

If you have several different MCACC presets that you’re using, you may want to rename them for easier identification.

1Select ‘Memory Rename’ from the Data Management setup menu.

Clearing MCACC presets

If you are no longer using one of the MCACC presets stored in memory, you can choose to clear the calibration settings of that preset.

1Select ‘MCACC Memory Clear’ from the Data Management setup menu.
