Automatic MCACC (Expert)
If your setup requires more detailed settings than those
provided in
Automatically setting up for surround sound
(Auto MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 45, you
can customize your setup options below. You can
calibrate your system differently for up to six different
MCACC presets
1
, which are useful if you have different
listening positions depending on the type of source (for
example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a video
game close to the TV).
2
Important
• Make sure the microphone/speakers are not moved
during the Auto MCACC Setup.
• Using the Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any
existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.
3
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are
output at high volume.

EQ Type (only available when the Auto MCACC
Menu above is
EQ Pro & S-Wave) – This determines
how the frequency balance is adjusted.
After a single calibration is performed, each of the
following three correction curves can be stored
separately in the MCACC memory.
SYMMETRY (default)
implements symmetric correction for each pair of left
and right speakers to flatten the frequency-amplitude
characteristics.
ALL CH ADJ is a ‘flat’ setting where all
the speakers are set individually so no special weighting
is given to any one channel.
FRONT ALIGN
6
sets all
speakers in accordance with the front speaker settings
(no equalization is applied to the front left and right
channels).
Note
1 These are stored in memory and referred to as
MEMORY1 to MEMORY6 until you rename them in Data Management on page 118.
2 You may also want to have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system.
3 Except in cases where you are only adjusting one parameter (i.e. channel level) from the
Auto MCACC menu (step 2).
4 • The
EQ Pro & S-Wave measurement is also taken when Keep SP System or EQ Pro & S-Wave is selected. See Acoustic Calibration EQ
Professional on page 112 for more on this.
• Either effect of Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional and Standing Wave can be switched on and off in the respective MCACC preset. For
details, see
Setting the Audio options on page 85.
5 The
Keep SP System option allows you to calibrate your system while leaving your current speaker setting (page 121) unchanged.
6 If you selected
ALL as your Auto MCACC menu, you can specify the MCACC preset where you want to save the ALL CH ADJ and FRONT
ALIGN settings.
