Acoustic Calibration EQ

 

 

 

 

 

 

Acoustic Calibration Equalization is a kind of

 

 

 

 

room equalizer for your speakers (excluding

 

the subwoofer). It works by measuring the

acoustic characteristics of your room and

 

neutralizing the ambient characteristics that can color the original source material. This provides a ‘flat’ equalization setting. If you’re not satisfied with the automatic adjustment, you can also adjust these settings manually to get a frequency balance that suits your tastes.

Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically

If you have already completed Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 10, A. CH ADJ and F.ALG ADJ (below) should already be set. Therefore, if you want to adjust your settings manually, you can skip to Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually below.
