Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically

When you perform the Auto MCACC setup as specified in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8, the correction is automatically done with the time period already selected (when TYPE1 is selected for EQ TYPE, the calibration is set only for ALL CH ADJUST). In this setup, you can select any of the time periods for EQ correction.

For an optimal system calibration based on the direct sound coming from the speakers, we recommend using the 30~50ms setting.

When TYPE1 is selected, the calibration is set for ALL CH ADJUST; when TYPE2 is selected, the calibration is set for both ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN.

3 Select the time setting you want to use for calibration.1

You can choose the time period that will be used for the calibration. Use / to select the time setting.

Select the setting from the following time periods (in milliseconds): 0~20ms, 10~30ms, 20~40ms, 30~50ms, 40~60ms, 50~70ms and 60~80ms. This setting will be applied to all channels during calibration.

ALL CH ADJUST – A ‘flat’ setting where all the speakers are set individually so no special weighting is given to any one channel.

FRONT ALIGN – All speakers are set in accordance with the front speaker settings (no equalization is applied to the front left and right channels).

It will take about 1 to 3 minutes for the calibration to finish.

The display returns to the Manual MCACC setup menu automatically 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 ALL CH ADJUST or the FRONT ALIGN settings from the Advanced EQ Setup above (or from Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8) to one of the custom settings. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start.

Note

1For multi-channel audio sources, the localization of the reproduced sound image and the sound linkage of the speakers depend on the direct sound including the early-reflected sound. In this setup, the earlier time settings (0~20ms, 10~30ms, etc.) implement calibration closer to the direct sound with less consideration of the reverb characteristics; the later time settings (60~80ms, 50~70ms, etc.) incorporate the reverberant sound. Select your favorite setting for the optimum results.
