7:Calibrating the appropriate settings automatically

(AUTO CALIBRATION)

This receiver is equipped with D.C.A.C. (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) Technology which allows you to perform automatic calibration as follows:

Check the connection between each speaker and the receiver.

Adjust the speaker level.

Measure the distance of each speaker to your

listening position.

You can also adjust the speaker levels and balance manually. For details, see

“8: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance (TEST TONE)” (page 33).

Before you perform Auto

Calibration

Before you perform the auto calibration, set up and connect the speakers (page 15–17).

The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not connect other microphones to this jack. Doing so may damage the receiver and the microphone.

During the calibration, the sound that comes out of the speakers is very loud. Pay attention to the presence of children or to the effect on your neighborhood.

Perform the auto calibration in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and get a more accurate measurement.

If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error.

Optimizer microphone

1 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone to the AUTO CAL MIC jack on the front panel.

2 Set up the optimizer microphone.

Place the optimizer microphone at your listening position. Use a stool or tripod so that the optimizer microphone remains at the same height as your ears.

Tip

When you face the speaker towards the optimizer microphone, you will get a more accurate measurement.
