Listen to the reference speaker and use it to measure the target channel. From the listening position, face the two speakers with your arms outstretched pointing at each speaker. Try to make the two tones sound as if they are arriving simultaneously at a position slightly in front of you and between your arm span.

When it sounds like the delay settings are matched up, press ENTER to confirm and continue to the next channel.

For comparison purposes, the reference speaker will change depending on which speaker you select.

If you want to go back and adjust a

channel, simply use

Acoustic Calibration EQ

Acoustic Calibration Equalization is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers (excluding the subwoofer). It works by measuring the acoustic characteristics of your room and neutralizing the ambient characteristics that can color the original source material. This provides a ‘flat’ equalization setting. If you’re not satisfied with the automatic adjustment, you can also adjust these settings manually to get a frequency balance that suits your tastes.

Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically

If you have already completed Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 9, ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN (below) should already be set. Therefore, if you want to adjust your settings manually, you can skip to Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually below.

1Select ‘EQ AUTO Setting’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.

Make sure the microphone is connected.

If you’re using a subwoofer, it is automatically detected every time you switch on the system. Make sure it is on and the volume is at the middle position.

See Other problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 11 for notes regarding high background noise levels and other possible interference.
