Use / to select the channel.

Use / to select the frequency and / to boost or cut the EQ. When you’re finished, go back to the top of the screen and press  to return to Ch, then use /to select the channel.

•The OVER! indicator shows in the display if the frequency adjustment is too drastic and might distort. If this happens, bring 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, then use / to raise or lower the channel level for the current speaker.

3When you’re finished, press RETURN. You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.

Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional

This setup minimizes the unwanted effects of room reverberation by allowing you to calibrate your system based on the direct sound coming from the speakers.

How to use Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional

If you find that lower frequencies seem overly reverberant in your listening room (i.e. it sounds ‘boomy’), or that different channels seem to exhibit different reverb characteristics (when Type A or Type B shown on the diagrams on the following applies), select EQ Pro. & S- Wave (or ALL) for the Auto MCACC setting in Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 77 to calibrate the room automatically.

•Type A: Reverberance of high vs. low frequencies

Level			Low frequencies
			High frequencies
			ConventionalMCACC
		Acoustic Cal. EQ Pro	EQ calibration range
		calibration range
	0	80	160
			Time (in msec)

•Type B: Reverb characteristics for different channels

Level			Front L
			Front R
			ConventionalMCACC
		Acoustic Cal. EQ Pro	EQ calibration range
		calibration range
	0	80	160
			Time (in msec)

If the pattern is as shown above, select the 30- 50ms setting. If not, this setting is not necessary.
