Calibrating the
appropriate speaker
settings automatically
(AUTO CALIBRATION)
This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital
Cinema Auto Calibration) Technology which
allows you to perform automatic calibration as
follows:
• Check the connection between each speaker
and the receiver.
• Adjust the speaker level.
• Measure the distance of each speaker from
your listening position.
The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound
balance in your room. However, you can
adjust the speaker levels manually according
to your preference. For details, see
“Adjusting the speaker levels (TEST TONE)”
(page 36).
Before you perform Auto Calibration, check
the following items.
• Set up and connect the speakers (page 16,
18).
• Connect only the supplied optimizer
microphone to the AUTO CAL MIC jack.
Do not connect other microphones to this
jack.
• Set “SB ASGN” to “BI-AMP” in SPEAKER
menu if you use bi-amplifier connection
(page 65).
• Set “SB ASGN” to “SPK B” in SPEAKER
menu if you use speakers front B connection
(page 65).
• Turn off the muting function.
• Disconnect the headphones.
• Remove any obstacles in the path between
the optimizer microphone and the speakers
to avoid measurement error.
• Make sure the environment is quiet to avoid
the effect of noise and get a more accurate
measurement.
Note
During the calibration, the sound that comes out of
the speakers is very loud. The volume of the sound
cannot be adjusted. Pay attention to the presence of
children or to the effect on your neighborhood.
Tip
When you face the speaker towards the optimizer
microphone, you will get a more accurate
measurement.
