Acoustic Calibration EQ

This setting is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers, excluding the subwoofer. You can select the
frequency balance between your speakers that suits your personal tastes. This feature also allows you to
increase the amount of a certain frequency in the soundtrack, which will have the effect of hearing more (or
less) bass, mid-range or treble. Use this feature by following the on-screen displays (OSD) on your TV and using
the arrow and ENTER buttons. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-4 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.40)
first.

1 ACOUSTIC CAL EQ should be selected.

If it isn’t use the

5∞ buttons to select

and press ENTER.

You should get the first Acoustic Calibration EQ screen
on your TV.

2 There are two ways to adjust the

Acoustic Calibration EQ, MANUAL and
AUTO. Use the

5∞ buttons to select

the type of setting you want to use and
press ENTER.

MANUAL: You can choose CUSTOM1 (

) or CUS-

TOM2 (

) and manually adjust each speaker.

• Before manually adjusting CUSTOM1 or CUSTOM2

copy the auto Acoustic Calibration EQ setting from
ALL CH ADJ or FRONT CH ALIGN. After completing
Auto Surround Setup, we recommend that you copy
and then calibrate manually. If settings have not been
copied, the values will be flat and must be adjusted
manually. See Data Copy of Acoustic Calibration EQ
on page 48.

AUTO: The frequency balance is set automatically by
the amplifier (see p.14) and cannot be changed
manually.

ALL CH ADJ mode (flat curve): All the speakers are
set individually (except for the subwoofer). No
special weighting is given to any channel over any
other channel so this setting is the most direct
representation of the source being played.

FRONT CH ALIGN mode (front speaker curve): All
speakers (except for the subwoofer) are set in
accordance with the settings of the FRONT speak-
ers. This setting allows the listener to enjoy a sound
balance defined by the front speakers (the main
speakers for home theater).

WARNING : Be prepared! The test tones are output at
a high volume level.

3 To manually adjust CUSTOM1 or

CUSTOM2 use the

5∞ buttons to

highlight one and press ENTER.
