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 11, 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.

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 when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 13 for notes regarding high background noise levels and other possible interference.

2Wait for the Auto MCACC 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
