AUTO: The frequency balance is set automatically by
the receiver (see p.16) and cannot be changed manually.
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 CH 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).
WARNING : Be prepared! The test tones are output at
a high volume level.
3 To manually adjust CUSTOM1 or
CUSTOM2 use the 5∞ buttons to
highlight one and press ENTER.

the 2 3 buttons to select the speaker
and press ENTER.
5 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 TRIM (
feature, which allows you to align the speaker level
while listening to the test tone.
To use the TRIM 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.
6 When you have the frequency balance
you want for that speaker press ENTER
to move to the next speaker and repeat
step 4.
7 Select RETURN with the 5∞ buttons
when done and press ENTER.
You will return to the SURROUND SETUP menu.
If you want to check each of the settings of Acoustic
Calibration EQ, select CHECK, press ENTER and proceed
to CHECK THE AUTO SETTINGS (see p.48).
If you want to exit the setup process, select RETURN and
press ENTER, then select EXIT and press ENTER.
