Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually

Before manually adjusting the Acoustic Calibration EQ,
we recommend copying the

ALL CH ADJUST

or the

FRONT ALIGN

settings from the auto setup above (or

from

Automatically setting up for surround sound

on

page 12) to one of the custom settings. Instead of just a
flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from
which to start (see

Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ

settings

below for how to do this).

1

Select ‘Acoustic Cal EQ’ from the Expert setup

menu.

2

Select CUSTOM1 ADJUST or CUSTOM2 ADJUST.

3

Select which method you would like to use to

adjust the overall frequency balance.

It is best to choose whichever one you copied to the
custom setting in

Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ

settings

below.

ALL CH ADJUST

– All the speakers can be set

independently so no special weighting is given to any
one channel. When adjusting, test tones will sound
for each individual channel.

FRONT ALIGN

– Speakers are set in accordance with

the front speaker settings. The sound of the test tone
will alternate between the left front (reference)
speaker and the target speaker.

4

Select the channel(s) you want and adjust to

your liking.

Use the

/

(cursor up/down) buttons to select the

channel (and

ENTER

to select it).

Use the

/

(cursor up/down) buttons to select the

frequency and

/

(cursor up/down) to boost or cut the

EQ. When you’re finished, the cursor automatically
moves to the next channel after you press

ENTER

.

• The front speakers can’t be adjusted if you selected

FRONT ALIGN

.

Tip

• Changing the frequency curve of one channel too

drastically will affect the overall balance. If the
speaker balance seems uneven, you can raise or
lower channel levels using test tones with the

TRIM

feature. Use

/

(cursor up/down) to raise or lower

the channel level for the current speaker.

5

When you're finished, select ‘Exit’.

Select

Exit

again to confirm your custom settings and

return to the Acoustic Cal EQ setup menu.

Note

• Note that five bands are available for adjustment

here, however six bands are measured and displayed
with the

Professional Acoustic Calibration

on page 91

(including the PC graphical output feature). The 1kHz
band acts as a reference setting (to ensure optimal
adjustment of the other frequency settings) for a total
of six band adjustment.
