•Reverb Measurement – Use this to measure the reverb characteristics of your room.

•Reverb View – You can check the reverb

measurements made for specified frequency ranges in each channel.1

•Advanced EQ Setup – Use this to select the time period that will be used for frequency adjustment and calibration, based on the reverb measurement of your listening area. Note that customizing system calibration using this setup will alter the settings you made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 77 and is not necessary if you’re satisfied with these settings.

3If you selected ‘Reverb Measurement’, select EQ ON or OFF, and then START.

The following options determine how the

reverb characteristics of your listening area are displayed in Reverb View:

•EQ OFF – You will see the reverb characteristics of your listening area without the equalization performed by this receiver (before calibration).

•EQ ON – You will see the reverb

characteristics of your listening area with

the equalization performed by this receiver (after calibration).2 Note that the EQ response may not appear entirely flat due

to adjustments necessary for your listening area.3

When the reverb measurement is finished, you can select Reverb View to see the results on- screen. See Professional Calibration EQ graphical output on page 107 for troubleshooting information.

Note

1If the Reverb View procedure is performed after the Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37 or Reverb Measurement operation, depending on the standing wave control setting, differences may appear on the reverb graph. With the Auto MCACC function, the reverberations are measured with the standing waves controlled, so the reverb characteristics graph shows the characteristics with the effect of the standing waves eliminated. By contrast, the Reverb Measurement function measures the reverberations without controlling the standing waves, so the graph indicates the reverb characteristics including the effect of the standing waves. If you wish to check the reverb characteristics of the room itself (with the standing waves as such), we recommend using the Reverb Measurement function.

2The calibration corresponding to the currently selected MCACC preset will be used when EQ ON is selected. To use another MCACC preset, exit the HOME MENU and press MCACC to select it before pressing HOME MENU.

3After auto calibration with EQ Type : SYMMETRY (Full Auto MCACC, etc.), the graph for the inferred reverb

characteristics can be displayed by selecting Reverb View. To display the actually measured reverb characteristics after EQ calibration, measure with EQ ON.
