Manually calibrating your
listening area (MCACC)
You can also use the Multi-Channel Acoustic
Calibration (MCACC) system to manually fine
tune your speaker levels and channel delay.
These are calibrated according to the
distance from your left front speaker to the
listening position. You will hear a series of test
tones that will allow you to set the speaker
levels and channel delay to your liking. The
advantage of doing this is that you can
achieve an overall balance defined by the
front speakers (the main speakers for home
theater).
• You must complete the Speaker setting on
page 45 before using the MCACC setup.

The MCACC system uses the left front
speaker as a reference point to calibrate the
speaker level and channel delay.
The front left speaker tone and the target
speaker (the one that you're trying to adjust)
tone will sound in turns, so you can judge
which needs to be louder.
