In such cases, you should recalibrate your system.

Using Professional Acoustic Calibration

1
Select 'Acoustic Cal EQ' from the Expert setup
menu.
2
Select 'Professional'.
3
Select a setup option.
• Auto Pro. – This is the recommended setup when
using the Professional Acoustic Calibration. If you
feel confident with a setup that's more involved, you
can use an advanced setup below. With this setup,
the receiver automatically sets an early time period
(20–40 ms or 60–80 ms) for reverb measurement,
giving you a system calibration based on the direct
sound coming from the speakers. The frequency
balance for each channel is then adjusted to
minimize the effect of the room characteristics on the
overall sound.
• Reverb Measurement – Use this to measure the
reverb characteristics of your room for each channel
in select frequency ranges. Since this measurement
is also made in Auto Pro (above), there is no need to
do this again if you were satisfied with the results.
• Reverb View – You can check the reverb
measurements made for specified frequency ranges
in each channel.
• PC Output – See Connecting a PC for Advanced
MCACC output on page 79 for more on this option.
