Acoustic Calibration EQ

Acoustic Calibration Equalization is a kind of room
equalizer for your speakers (excluding the subwoofer). It
works by measuring the acoustic characteristics of your
room and neutralizing the ambient characteristics that
can color the original source material. This provides a
'flat' equalization setting. If you're not satisfied with the
automatic adjustment, you can also adjust these settings
manually to get a frequency balance that suits your
tastes.
Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically
If you have already completed Automatically setting up for
surround sound (MCACC) on page 11, ALL CH ADJUST
and FRONT ALIGN (below) should already be set.
Therefore, if you want to adjust your settings manually,
you can skip to Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ
manually below.
1 Select 'EQ AUTO Setting' from the Manual
MCACC setup menu.

• Make sure the microphone is connected.
• If you're using a subwoofer, it is automatically
detected every time you switch on the system. Make
sure it is on and the volume is at the middle position.
• See Other problems when using the Auto MCACC
Setup on page 13 for notes regarding high
background noise levels and other possible
interference.

As the receiver outputs test tones, the frequency balance
is adjusted automatically for the following settings:
• ALL CH ADJUST – A 'flat' setting where all the
speakers are set individually so no special weighting
is given to any one channel.
• FRONT ALIGN – All speakers are set in accordance
with the front speaker settings (no equalization is
applied to the front left and right channels).
You will return to the Acoustic Cal EQ setup menu after
the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set.
Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings
If you want to manually adjust the Acoustic Calibration
EQ (see Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually
below), we recommend copying the ALL CH ADJUST or
the FRONT ALIGN settings from the EQ 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.
1 Select 'EQ Data Copy' from the Manual MCACC
setup menu.
