Acoustic Calibration EQ
This receiver lets you choose between two types of ACOUSTIC CAL EQ equalizer curves: ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN, with the former equalizing the speakers individually and the latter equalizing the speakers in accordance with the front speakers. Features here allow you to put in your own equalizer preferences. To do this use the DATA COPY feature to copy the settings in ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN modes and paste them into CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2. You then choose between the ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN types of curves and increase the amount of a certain frequency in each speaker in accordance with your preferences. When you playback a source you can choose CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 to apply your preferences to playback. When setting up using the ALL CH ADJUST mode you can adjust each speaker individually. With the FRONT ALIGN mode the front speakers will serve as the reference so you cannot adjust them.
The DATA CHECK feature allows you to see how the settings in ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN currently stand. When you use ACOUSTIC CAL EQ function (see page 51) you can toggle between the two basic settings, ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN, and the variations you set yourself, CUSTOM 1 and CUSTOM 2.
