CHAPTER 5

Automatic and Manual Equalization

Auto EQ

The automatic EQ procedure uses the microphone to measure and evaluate your system. This takes into account room effects, and automati- cally attens out the response. After the measurements are complete, the EQ of your system is adjusted. The procedure does not use any previous- ly measured information from the auto setup, or user-entered information.

Warning: The test procedure can emit LOUD test tones through your speak- ers.

The procedure should be done in a quiet environment, so only the test tones will be picked up by the mi- crophone. Use only the microphone supplied.

1. Place the measurement micro-

2.Connect the microphone to the Mic input behind the sliding front panel of the TGR-401.

3.In the EQ menu, select Auto EQ and the measurements will begin. The test tones will be played and the measurements taken. The procedure takes ap- proximately four minutes. The EQ of each speaker pair will be adjusted for the best response. Auto EQ uses a complex DSP analysis of your room to create dynamic EQ lters. Therefore, detailed results of this process are not displayed.

Manual EQ adjustment

The EQ of your system can also be adjusted manually, using your ears and preferences instead of the measurement microphone. There is

14 dB of cut and boost available at 11 frequencies, except for the subwoofer.

In the EQ menu, you can select Manual EQ Global, or Manual EQ Pairs.

"Manual EQ Global" allows you to adjust the EQ of the combined speaker system. Use the menu to choose the frequencies and make the adjustments with the remote, to suit your preference.

"Manual EQ Pairs" allows you to adjust the EQ of the front pair, center, surround pair, surround back pair and sub.

phone on the back of your fa-

vorite listening couch or chair.

Try to place it at head height if

possible, in the position where

your head normally is while

listening to your home theater.

The microphone should point

straight up towards the ceiling,

so it has an omni-directional

response for highest accuracy.
