2 There are two ways to adjust the
Acoustic Calibration EQ, MANUAL and
AUTO. Use the 5∞ buttons to select
the type of setting you want to use and
press ENTER.
MANUAL: Of these manual settings you can choose
ALL CH ADJ mode or FRONT ALIGN mode.
ALL CH ADJ mode (flat curve): All the speakers are
set individually (except for the subwoofer). No
special weighting is given to any channel over any
other channel so this setting is the most direct
representation of the source being played.
FRONT ALIGN mode (front speaker curve): All
speakers (except for the subwoofer) are set in
accordance with the settings of the FRONT speak-
ers. This setting allows the listener to enjoy a sound
balance defined by the front speakers (the main
speakers for home theater).
AUTO: The frequency balance is set automatically by
the amplifier (see page 14) and both types of manual
calibration are adjusted this way.
WARNING : Be prepared! The test tones are output at
a high volume level.
3 If you're using a MANUAL setting, use
the 2 3 buttons to select the speaker
and press ENTER.
If you have selected the FRONT ALIGN mode, you can't
set the frequency for the front left and right speakers.
4 Use the 2 3 buttons to select the
frequency and 5∞ buttons to add or
subtract decibels from that frequency.
Changing the frequency balance of one channel too
drastically will result in a poor overall level balance. You
can adjust the speaker levels using the WIDE feature,
which allows you to align the speaker level while
listening to the test tone.
To use the WIDE feature, use 3 to move to the far right
side of the OSD then use ∞ and 5 to raise or lower the
level of that channel.
5 When you have the frequency balance
you want for that speaker press ENTER
to move to the next speaker and repeat
step 3.
6 Select RETURN with the 5∞ buttons
when done and press ENTER.
You will return to the SURROUND SETUP menu.
If you want to proceed to CHECK THE AUTO SETTINGS
select return and press ENTER. If you want exit the setup
process select EXIT and press ENTER.
