Fine Channel Level

• Default setting:

0dB

(all channels)

You can achieve better surround sound by
properly adjusting the overall balance of your
speaker system. The following setting can help
you make detailed adjustments that you may
not achieve using the

setup

on page 11.

Select ‘

CH LEVEL’

from the Manual

MCACC setup menu.

You’ll hear test tones from each speaker in
turn. Since the left speaker is the main
reference speaker, the level is fixed and cannot
be changed.

Fine Channel Distance

• Default setting:

3.0 m

(all channels)

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. The following setting can help you make
detailed adjustments that you may not achieve
using the

Quick surround sound setup

on

page 11.

1

Select ‘CH DISTN.’ from the Manual

MCACC setup menu.

2

Use

/

(cursor up/down) to adjust the

distance of the left channel from the listening
position then press

ENTER

.

3

Use

/

(cursor left/right) to select each

channel in turn and adjust the distance as
necessary.

Use

/

(cursor up/down) to adjust the delay

of the selected speaker to match the reference
speaker. The delay is measured in terms of
speaker distance from

0.1

to

9.0

meters.

Listen to the reference speaker and use it to
measure the target channel. From the listening
position, face the two speakers with your arms
outstretched pointing at each speaker. Try to
make the two tones sound as if they are
arriving simultaneously at a position slightly in
front of you and between your arm span.

When it sounds like the delay settings are
matched up, press

(cursor right) to confirm

and continue to the next channel.

• For comparison purposes, the reference

speaker will change depending on which
speaker you select.
