The System Setup menu
• A. CH – All Channel Adjust is a 'flat' setting
where all the speakers are set individually
so no special weighting is given to any one
channel.
• F.ALG – Front Align Adjust balances the
overall sound so that 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 A. CH or the F.ALG
settings from the EQ A. SET setup above (or
from Automatically setting up for surround
sound (MCACC) on page 13) to one of the
custom (C1 or C2) settings. Instead of just a flat
EQ curve, this will give you a reference point
from which to start.
1 Select 'EQ COPY' from the Manual MCACC
setup menu.
2 Use (cursor left/right) to select C1
or C2 then use the
buttons to select the setting you want to
copy.
• You can also copy from one custom setting
to another. For more on the A. CH and
F.ALG settings, see Setting the Acoustic
Calibration EQ automatically above.
3 Use (cursor left/right) to select
'COPY? YES' to copy and confirm.
You can also use
select COPY? NO to cancel.
