Reverb characteristics for different channels
–
Reverb characteristics can be somewhat different for
each channel. Since this difference increases as the
sound is influenced by the various room
characteristics, it is often better to capture a
frequency analysis early on for smoother mixing of
channel frequencies/sounds.
If your room isn’t affected by the factors above, it is often
not necessary to make a 20–40ms setting. Later time
settings may provide a more detailed sound experience
with your speaker system. It is best to try and see what
works best for your particular room.
Note that changing the room (for example, moving
furniture or paintings) will affect the calibration results.
In such cases, you should recalibrate your system.

– The receiver automatically sets an early
time period (20–40 ms or 60–80 ms) for reverb
measurement, giving you a system calibration based
on the direct sound coming from the speakers. The
frequency balance for each channel is then adjusted
to minimize the effect of the room characteristics on
the overall sound.
•
Manual Pro.
– You can set an early time period for
reverb measurement manually, giving you the
flexibility to choose the direct sound calibration that
works best with your listening area. After you have
made this setting, the frequency balance for each
channel is adjusted automatically, calibrating your
system according to your custom setting.
