• Auto MCACC – The default is ALL
(recommended), but you can limit the
system calibration to only one setting (to
save time) if you want.
1
The available
options are ALL, Keep SP System, 2
Speaker Setting, Channel Level,
Speaker Distance and EQ Pro & S-Wave.
• EQ Type (only available when the Auto
MCACC Menu above is EQ Pro & S-Wave)
– This determines how the frequency
balance is adjusted.
After a single calibration is performed, each of
the following three correction curves can be
stored separately in the MCACC memory.
SYMMETRY (default) implements symmetric
correction for each pair of left and right
speakers to flatten the frequency-amplitude
characteristics.
ALL CH ADJ is a ‘flat’ setting
where all the speakers are set individually so
no special weighting is given to any one
channel. FRONT ALIGN 3 sets all speakers in
accordance with the front speaker settings (no
equalization is applied to the front left and right
channels).
• THX Speaker (only available when the
Auto MCACC Menu above is ALL or
Speaker Setting) – Select YES if you are
using THX speakers (set all speakers to
SMALL), otherwise leave it set to NO.
• STAND.WAVE Multi-Point (only available
when the
Auto MCACC Menu above is EQ
Pro & S-Wave) – In addition to
measurements at the listening position,
you can use two more reference points for
which test tones will be analyzed for
standing waves. This is useful if you want to
get a balanced ‘flat’ calibration for several
seating positions in your listening area.

Place the microphone at the reference
point indicated on-screen and note
the last
microphone placement will be at your main
listening position:
3 Connect the microphone to the MCACC
SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.
• Push down on the PUSH OPEN tab to
access the MCACC SETUP MIC jack.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the
speakers and the microphone.
If you have a tripod, use it to place the
microphone so that it’s about ear level at your
normal listening position. Otherwise, place the
microphone at ear level using a table or a chair.
Note
1 • The EQ Pro & S-Wave measurement is also taken when Keep SP System or EQ Pro & S-Wave is selected. See
Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional on page 86 for more on this.
• Either effect of Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional and Standing Wave can be switched on and off in the
respective MCACC preset. For details, see
Setting the Audio options on page 64.
2 The Keep SP System option allows you to calibrate your system while leaving your current speaker setting (page 95)
unchanged.
3 If you selected ALL as your Auto MCACC menu, you can specify the MCACC preset where you want to save the ALL
CH ADJ and FRONT ALIGN settings.
4 Switch the Multi-Point setting NO if you only use one listening position.
