CALIBRATION
This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital
Cinema Auto Calibration) function which
allows you to perform automatic calibration as
follows:
• Check the connection between each speaker
and the receiver.
• Adjust the speaker level.
• Measure the distance of each speaker from
your seating position.*
• Measure the speaker size.*
• Measure the frequency characteristics.*
* The measurement result is not utilized when
"A. DIRECT" is selected.
The DCAC is designed to achieve proper
sound balance for your room. However, you
can adjust the speaker levels manually
according to your preference. For details, see
"Test Tone" (page 64).
