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 11,

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.

1

Select ‘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 13 for notes regarding high

background noise levels and other possible
interference.

2

Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish.

As the receiver outputs test tones, the frequency balance
is adjusted automatically for the following settings:

ALL CH ADJUST

– A ‘flat’ setting where all the

speakers are set individually so no special weighting
is given to any one channel.

FRONT ALIGN

– All speakers are set in accordance

with the front speaker settings (no equalization is
applied to the front left and right channels).

You will return to the Acoustic Cal EQ setup menu after
the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set.

Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings

If you want to manually adjust the Acoustic Calibration
EQ (see

Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually

below), we recommend copying the

ALL CH ADJUST

or

the

FRONT ALIGN

settings from the

EQ AUTO

setup

above (or from

Automatically setting up for surround

sound (MCACC)

on page 11) to one of the custom

settings. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you
a reference point from which to start.

1

Select ‘EQ Data Copy’ from the Manual MCACC

setup menu.

2

Select CUSTOM1 or CUSTOM2 then use the

/

(cursor left/right) buttons to select the setting you
want to copy.

• You can also copy from one custom setting to

another. For more on the

ALL CH ADJUST

and

FRONT ALIGN

settings, see

Setting the Acoustic

Calibration EQ automatically

above.
