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 8,

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

on page 41.

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 10 for notes

regarding high background noise levels
and other possible interference.

2

Wait for the EQ AUTO Setting 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 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

on page 41), 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 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.
