06The System Setup menu
1Select ‘EQ A. SET’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.
•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 at the middle position.
•See Other problems during Auto MCACC on page 11 for notes regarding high background noise levels and other possible interference.
2Wait for the EQ Auto Setup to finish.
As the receiver outputs test tones, the frequency balance is adjusted automatically for the following settings:
•A. CH – All Channel Adjust is a ‘flat’ setting where all the speakers are set individually so no special weighting is given to any one channel.
•F.ALG – Front Align Adjust balances the overall sound so that all speakers are set in accordance with the front speaker settings (no equalization is applied to the front left and right channels).
You will return to the Acoustic Cal EQ setup menu after the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set.
Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings
If you want to manually adjust the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually below), we recommend copying the A. CH or the F.ALG settings from the EQ A. SET setup above (or from Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 10) to one of the custom (C1 or C2) settings. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start.
1Select ‘EQ COPY’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.
2 Use to select C1 or C2 then use the buttons to select the setting you want
to copy.
•You can also copy from one custom setting to another. For more on the A. CH and F.ALG settings, see Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically above.

Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually
Before manually adjusting the Acoustic Calibration EQ, we recommend copying the A. CH or the F.ALG settings from the auto setup above (or from Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 10) to one of the custom settings. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start (see Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings above for how to do this).
1Select ‘C1 ADJ’ or ‘C2 ADJ’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.
2 Use and ENTER to select which method you want to use to adjust the overall frequency balance.
It is best to choose whichever one you copied to the custom setting in Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings above.
•A. CH ADJ – All the speakers can be set independently so no special weighting is given to any one channel. When adjusting, test tones will sound for each individual channel.
•F.ALG ADJ – Speakers are set in accordance with the front speaker settings. The sound of the test tone will alternate between the left front (reference) speaker and the target speaker.
