Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually

Before manually adjusting the Acoustic Calibration EQ, we recommend copying the ALL CH ADJUST or the FRONT ALIGN settings from the auto setup above (or from Automatically setting up for surround sound (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 (see Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings on page 40 for how to do this).

1Select ‘EQ CUSTOM1 Adjust’ or ‘EQ CUSTOM2 Adjust’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.

2.Manual		MCACC		2e.EQ CUSTOM1 Adjust

	b.Fine SP		Distance		ALL CH	ADJUST

	d.EQ	Data	Copy
	e.EQ	CUSTOM1 Adjust
	f .EQ	CUSTOM2 Adjust
	g.EQ	Data	Check
			:Return	ENTER:Next		:Cancel

2Select which method you would like 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 on page 40.

• ALL CH ADJUST – All the speakers can be
set independently so no special weighting	English
is given to any one channel. When
adjusting, test tones will sound for each
individual channel.
• FRONT ALIGN – Speakers are set in
accordance with the front speaker	Deutsch
settings. The sound of the test tone will
alternate between the left front (reference)
speaker and the target speaker.

3Select the channel(s) you want and adjust to your liking.

the frequency adjustment is too drastic

the level down until OVER disappears from the display.

Tip

•Changing the frequency curve of one channel too drastically will affect the overall balance. If the speaker balance seems uneven, you can raise or lower channel levels using test tones with the

TRIM feature. Use		to select TRIM
