Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically

When you perform the Auto MCACC setup as specified in

Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto
MCACC)

on page 8, the correction is automatically done

with the time period already selected (when

TYPE1

is

selected for

EQ TYPE

, the calibration is set only for

ALL

CH ADJUST

). In this setup, you can select any of the time

periods for EQ correction.

1

Select ‘Advanced EQ Setup’ from the Manual

MCACC setup menu.

• The Advanced EQ setup overwrites the settings

already set for

ALL CH ADJUST

and/or

FRONT

ALIGN

. To keep these settings intact, save the data in

CUSTOM1

/

CUSTOM2

as specified in

Copying your

Acoustic Calibration EQ settings

below.

• Make sure the supplied microphone is connected.

• See

Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup

on

page 10 for notes regarding high background noise
levels and other possible interference.

2

Select ‘TYPE1’ or ‘TYPE2’.

Use

/

to select the setting.

When

TYPE1

is selected, the calibration is set for

ALL CH

ADJUST

; when

TYPE2

is selected, the calibration is set

for both

ALL CH ADJUST

and

FRONT ALIGN

.

3

Select the time setting you want to use for

calibration.

1

You can choose the time period that will be used for the
calibration. Use

/

to select the time setting.

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.

For an optimal system calibration based on the direct
sound coming from the speakers, we recommend using
the

30~50ms

setting.

4

Press ENTER, then the calibration starts

automatically.

5

Wait for the Advanced EQ 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).

It will take about 1 to 3 minutes for the calibration to
finish.

The display returns to the Manual MCACC setup menu
automatically 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 Advanced EQ Setup

above (or from

Automatically setting up for surround

sound (Auto MCACC)

on page 8) to one of the custom

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

Note

1 For multi-channel audio sources, the localization of the reproduced sound image and the sound linkage of the speakers depend on the direct sound
including the early-reflected sound. In this setup, the earlier time settings (

0~20ms

,

10~30ms

, etc.) implement calibration closer to the direct sound with

less consideration of the reverb characteristics; the later time settings (

60~80ms

,

50~70ms

, etc.) incorporate the reverberant sound. Select your favorite

setting for the optimum results.
