2 Select the setting you want to adjust.
If you're doing this for the first time, you might want to
make these settings in order.
• Fine Channel Level – Make fine adjustments to the
overall balance of your speaker system (see Fine
Channel Level below).
• Fine SP Distance – Make precise delay settings for
your speaker system (see Fine Speaker Distance on
page 100).
• Standing Wave – Control overly resonant low
frequencies in your listening room (see Standing
Wave on page 100).
The last two settings are specifically for customizing the
parameters explained in Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust
on page 101:
• EQ Adjust – Manually adjust the frequency balance
of your speaker system while listening to test tones
(see Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 101).
• EQ Professional – Calibrate your system based on
the direct sound coming from the speakers and make
detailed settings according to your room's reverb
characteristics (see Acoustic Calibration EQ
Professional on page 101).
