7:Calibrating the appropriate settings automatically

(AUTO CALIBRATION)

The DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) function allows you to perform automatic calibration such as:

•Checking the connection between each speaker and the receiver.

•Adjusting the speaker level.

•Measuring the distance of each speaker from 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 30).

Before you perform Auto

Calibration

Before you perform Auto Calibration, install and connect the speakers (page 13, 14).

•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 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 Auto Calibration in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and to 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.

Notes

• The Auto Calibration function does not work when

headphones are connected.

Getting

• Make sure SPEAKERS (OFF/A/B) is not set to off.
