Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings

If you want to manually adjust the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually above), 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 on page 12) to one of the custom settings. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start.
