Auto Sound Calibration Setup

* This function is available only for DVD/CD playback.
Auto Sound Calibration
By setting the auto sound calibration function just once when you relocate or install the unit, you can have
the unit automatically recognize the distance between speakers, levels between channels, and frequency
characteristics to create 5.1-channel sound field optimized for the listener's environment.
Note
If you purchased the unit for the first time or initialized it, pressing the Auto Sound Calibration button without
connecting the auto sound calibration microphone will display the message "PLEASE SET ASC FUNCTION FIRST"
in the display.
Because the volume level of the tone is fixed during the auto sound calibration setup, you cannot adjust the volume
using the volume control buttons.
If the auto sound microphone is disconnected during the auto sound calibration setup, the setup will be cancelled.
To Turn On or Off Sound Logo
When you turn on the power, the unit produces a sound logo after
the disc reading to notify that the unit is optimized for playback.
1
Press and hold ASC button.
"S.LOGO ON" or "S.LOGO OFF" appears in the display.
2
Briefly press ASC button.
Each time the button is pressed, the selection alternates
between S.LOGO ON and S.LOGO OFF.
If you select "S.LOGO ON", a sound logo will be output
49
when the disc reading is finished after power-on. If you
select "S.LOGO OFF", no sound logo will be output.
