If you selected ‘Reverb Measurement’, select EQ

ON or OFF and then START.

The following options determine how the reverb
characteristics of your listening area are displayed in

Reverb View

and

Output PC

(

Data Management

):

EQ OFF

– You will see the reverb characteristics of

your listening area

without

the equalization

performed by this receiver (before calibration).

EQ ON

– You will see the reverb characteristics of

your listening area

with

the equalization performed

by this receiver (after calibration).

1

Note that the EQ

response may not appear entirely flat due to
adjustments necessary for your listening area.

When the reverb measurement is finished, you can
select

Reverb View

to see the results on-screen. See

Professional Calibration EQ graphical output

on page 83

for troubleshooting information.

If you selected ‘Reverb View’, you can check the

reverb characteristics for each channel. Press
RETURN when you’re done.

This appears according to the setting you chose in

Reverb Measurement

(step 3 above). Use the

/

buttons to select the channel and the frequency you want
to check. Use the

/

buttons to go back and forth

between the two. Note that the markers on the vertical
axis indicate decibels in 2 dB steps.

If ‘Advanced EQ Setup’ is selected, enter the

desired time setting for calibration. Press

to

proceed to the next screen, and then select START.

Based on the reverb measurement above, you can
choose the time period that will be used for the final
frequency adjustment and calibration. Even though you
can make this setting without reverb measurement, it is

best to use the measurement results as a reference for
your time setting. For an optimal system calibration
based on the direct sound coming from the speakers, we
recommend using the

30~50ms

setting.

Use the

/

buttons to select the channel, frequency,

and time setting. Use the

/

buttons to switch

between them.

You can switch between your connected speakers
(excluding the subwoofer), and display the
measurements for the following frequencies:

63Hz

,

125Hz

,

250Hz

,

500Hz

,

1kHz

,

2kHz

,

4kHz

,

8kHz

and

16kHz

.

Select the setting from the following time periods (in
milliseconds):

0~20ms

,

10~30ms

,

20~40ms

,

30~50ms

,

40~60ms

,

50~70ms

and

60~80ms

. This setting will be

applied to all channels during calibration.

When you’re finished, select

START

. It will take about 2

to 4 minutes for the calibration to finish.

After the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set, you are
given the option to check the settings on-screen.

Full Band Phase Control

The Full Band Phase Control feature calibrates the
frequency-phase characteristics of the speakers
connected and corrects the phase distortion. This
receiver analyzes the frequency-phase characteristics of
the speakers by calibrating test signals output from the
speakers with the supplied microphone, therefore
flattening the analyzed frequency-phase characteristics
during audio signal playback. This correction minimizes
group delay between the middle- and low-frequency
ranges and improves the frequency-phase
characteristics across all ranges. Furthermore, the
enhanced frequency-phase characteristics between
channels ensure better surround sound integration for
multichannel sources. For details, see

Using Full Band

Phase Control

on page 11.

This section describes how to calibrate the frequency-
phase characteristics of the speakers only. Once you
have performed calibration with Auto MCACC set as a
default setting or with

CUSTOM

set to

ALL

, the Full Band

Phase Control calibration is already done (In this case,
the previous settings are overwritten if you perform
calibration again as described here).

Note

1 The calibration corresponding to the currently selected MCACC preset will be used when

EQ ON

is selected. To use another MCACC preset, exit the

System Setup menu and

press

MCACC

to select it before pressing

SETUP
