1 Select ‘Manual MCACC’ from the Advanced
MCACC menu.
See
Making receiver settings from the Advanced MCACC
menu on page 43 if you’re not already at this screen.
2 Select the setting you want to adjust.
If you’re doing this for the first time, you might want to
make these settings in order.
• Fine Channel Level – Make fine adjustments to the
overall balance of your speaker system (see
Fine
Channel Level below).
• Fine SP Distance – Make precise delay settings for
your speaker system (see
Fine Speaker Distance
below).
• Standing Wave – Control overly resonant low
frequencies in your listening room (see
Standing
Wave on page 48).
The last two settings are specifically for customizing the
parameters explained in
Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust
on page 48:
• EQ Adjust – Manually adjust the frequency balance
of your speaker system while listening to test tones
(see
Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 48).
• EQ Professional – Calibrate your system based on
the direct sound coming from the speakers and make
detailed settings according to your room’s reverb
characteristics (see
Acoustic Calibration EQ
Professional on page 49).
Fine Channel Level
• Default setting: 0.0dB (all channels)
You can achieve better surround sound by properly
adjusting the overall balance of your speaker system. You
can adjust the Channel Level of each speaker in 0.5 dB
increments. The following setting can help you make
detailed adjustments that you may not achieve using the
Manual speaker setup on page 55.
1 Select ‘Fine Channel Level’ from the Manual
MCACC setup menu.
The volume increases to the 0.0 dB reference level.
2 Adjust the level of the left channel.
This will be the reference speaker level, so you may want
to keep the level around
0.0dB so that you’ll have plenty
of room to adjust the other speaker levels.
• After pressing ENTER, test tones will be output.
3 Select each channel in turn and adjust the levels (+/
–10dB) as necessary.
Use
/ to adjust the volume of the speaker you
selected to match the reference speaker. When it sounds
like both tones are the same volume, press
 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
/ to select it.
4 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.
Fine Speaker Distance
• Default setting: 10’00’’ (all speakers)
For proper sound depth and separation with your system,
it is necessary to add a slight bit of delay to some
speakers so that all sounds will arrive at the listening
position at the same time. You can adjust the distance of
each speaker in 1 inch increments. The following setting
can help you make detailed adjustments that you may
not achieve using the
Manual speaker setup on page 55.
1 Select ‘Fine SP Distance’ from the Manual MCACC
setup menu.
2 Adjust the distance of the left channel from the
listening position.
