Note
1 The calibration corresponding to the currently selected MCACC preset will be used when EQ ON is selected. To use
another MCACC preset, press MCACC to select the MCACC memory you want to store.
2 After auto calibration with EQ Type : SYMMETRY (Full Auto MCACC, etc.), the graph for the inferred reverb
characteristics can be displayed by selecting Reverb View. To display the actually measured reverb characteristics
after EQ calibration, measure with EQ ON.
3 The After display when measurements have been made using the Full Auto MCACC or Auto MCACC (ALL or KEEP
SP system) function shows the graph for the inferred reverb characteristics after EQ Type : SYMMETRY calibration.
4 The reverb characteristics graph is overwritten each time the reverberations are measured. No Data is displayed if
there is no reverb characteristic data, for example before measurements have been taken.

Based on the reverb measurement above, you
can choose the time period that will be used
for the final frequency adjustment and
calibration. Even though you can make this
setting without reverb measurement, it is best
to use the measurement results as a reference
for your time setting. For an optimal system
calibration based on the direct sound coming
from the speakers, we recommend using the
30-50ms setting.
Use / to select the setting. Use / to
switch between them.
Select the setting from the following time
periods (in milliseconds): 0-20ms, 10-30ms,
20-40ms, 30-50ms, 40-60ms, 50-70ms and
60-80ms. This setting will be applied to all
channels during calibration.
When you're finished, select START. It will take
about 2 to 4 minutes for the calibration to
finish.
After the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is
set, you are given the option to check the
settings on-screen.
