Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually
Before manually adjusting the Acoustic Calibration EQ,
we recommend copying the ALL CH ADJUST or the
FRONT ALIGN settings from the auto setup above (or
from Automatically setting up for surround sound
(MCACC) on page 11) to one of the custom settings.
Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a
reference point from which to start (see Copying your
Acoustic Calibration EQ settings above for how to do this).
1 Select 'EQ CUSTOM1 Adjust or EQ CUSTOM2
Adjust' from the Manual MCACC setup menu.
2 Select which method you would like to use to
adjust the overall frequency balance.
It is best to choose whichever one you copied to the
custom setting in Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ
settings above.
• ALL CH ADJUST – All the speakers can be set
independently so no special weighting is given to any
one channel. When adjusting, test tones will sound
for each individual channel.
• FRONT ALIGN – Speakers are set in accordance with
the front speaker settings. The sound of the test tone
will alternate between the left front (reference)
speaker and the target speaker.
