Checking your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings
If you want to manually adjust the Acoustic Calibration
EQ (see Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually
above), 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 on
page 12) 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 'Acoustic Cal EQ' from the Expert setup
menu.

Professional Acoustic Calibration

This setup minimizes the unwanted effects of room
reverberation by calibrating your system based on the
direct sound coming from the speakers. It can also
provide you with a graphical output of the frequency
response of your room.
Note
• Before setting up with Professional Acoustic
Calibration, you should finish calibrating using the
Auto Surround Setup on page 12.
How to use Professional Acoustic Calibration
If you find that lower frequencies seem overly reverberant
in your listening room (i.e. it sounds 'boomy'), or that
different channels seem to exhibit different reverb
characteristics, use the Auto Pro setup to calibrate the
room automatically. This should provide a more balanced
calibration than simply using the standard Acoustic
Calibration EQ. The manual setup allows you to
customize your system calibration with the help of a
graphical output that can be displayed on-screen, or
using a computer (with software available from
Pioneer—see Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC
output on page 70 for more on this).
