Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually

Before manually adjusting the Acoustic Calibration EQ, 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 (Auto MCACC) on page 8) to one of the custom settings. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start (see Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings above for how to do this).

1Select ‘EQ CUSTOM1 Adjust’ or ‘EQ CUSTOM2 Adjust’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.

2Select which method you would like to use to adjust the overall frequency balance.

It is best to choose whichever one you copied to the custom setting in Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings above.

•ALL CH ADJUST – All the speakers can be set independently so no special weighting is given to any one channel. When adjusting, test tones will sound for each individual channel.

•FRONT ALIGN – Speakers are set in accordance with the front speaker settings. The sound of the test tone will alternate between the left front (reference) speaker and the target speaker.

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 use to select the next channel.

•The front speakers can’t be adjusted if you selected

FRONT ALIGN.

•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.

4When you're finished, press RETURN. You return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.

Checking your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings
