Pioneer VSX-AX5Ai-S, VSX-AX5Ai-G manual Bass Peak Level, Advanced setup

Advanced setup 11

•If No Data is displayed, you will need to make a reverb measurement using the Auto Pro or Reverb Measurement setup option.

7If you selected ‘Advanced EQ Setup’, input the time setting you want to use for calibration, then select ‘Start’.

After checking on the reverb measurement above, you may want to manually choose the time period that will be used for the final frequency adjustment and calibration. Even though you can make this setting without reverb measurement, it is best to use the measurement results as a reference for your time setting. For an optimal system calibration based on the direct sound coming from the speakers, we recommend using the 20–40mssetting.

•If No Data is displayed, you will need to make a reverb measurement using the Auto Pro or Reverb Measurement setup option.

Use the (cursor up/down) buttons to select the channel, frequency, and time setting. Use the (cursor up/down) buttons to switch between them.

You can switch between your connected speakers (excluding the subwoofer), and display the measurements for the following frequencies: 63Hz, 125 Hz, 250Hz, 1kHz, 4kHz and 11.3kHz.

•Note that six bands are available for measurement and analysis here, but you will only be able to set five bands when using Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 88. The 1kHz band acts as a reference setting (to ensure optimal adjustment of the other frequency settings) for a total of six band adjustment.

Select the setting from the following time periods (in milliseconds): 0–20ms, 10–30ms, 20–40ms, 30–50ms, 40–60ms, 50–70ms and 60–80ms. This setting will be applied to all channels during calibration.

When you’re finished, select Start. It will take about 2–11 minutes for the calibration to finish.

!!Complete !! is displayed on-screen after the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set. If you want to check the settings, select Check and press ENTER. If you want to finish, select Exit to exit each screen.

Bass Peak Level

Some audio sources (for example, Dolby Digital and DTS) include ultra-low bass tones. Set the bass limiter as needed to prevent the bass from distorting the sound from the subwoofer.
