If you have a tripod, use it to place the
microphone so that it's about ear level at your
normal listening position. If you do not have a
tripod, use some other object to install the
1
microphone.
Note
1 Install the microphone on a stable floor. Placing the microphone on any of the following surfaces may make accurate
measurement impossible:
• Sofas or other soft surfaces.
• High places such as tabletops and sofa tops.
2 If you leave the GUI screen for over five minutes, the screen saver will appear.
3 • When data measurement is taken, the reverb characteristics data (both before- and after-calibration) that this
receiver had been storing will be overwritten. If you want to save the reverb characteristics data before measuring,
connect a USB memory device to this receiver and transfer the data.
• When measurement is taken of reverb characteristics data other than SYMMETRY, the data are not measured after
the correction. If you will need to measure after correcting data, take the measurement using the EQ Professional
menu in the Manual MCACC setup (page 93).
4 If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read
through Speaker system setting on page 101 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing
to step 4.
