AccuEQ Room Calibration Place the supplied speaker setup microphone at the listening position. The unit automatically measures the test tones output from each speaker, and sets the optimum volume level for each speaker, the crossover frequencies, and the distance from the listening position. This also reduces the effect of the standing wave in accordance with the viewing environment and automatically adjusts the equalizers for the speakers, and enables correction of sound distortion caused by the acoustic environment of the room. • It takes between 3 and 12 minutes for calibration to be completed. Each speaker outputs the test tone at high volume during measurement, so be careful of your surroundings. Also, keep the room as quiet as possible during measurement. • If you connect a subwoofer, check the power and volume of the subwoofer. Set the subwoofer volume to more than half. • If the power of this unit suddenly turns off, the wires in the speaker cables have touched the rear panel or other wires, and the protection circuit is working. Twist the wires again securely, and make sure they do not stick out of the speaker terminals when connecting. • When using THX certified speakers, THX recommends that the crossover frequency is set to "80Hz(THX)". Also, THX recommends that each speaker setting is manually adjusted according to the specific characteristics of each room. 1. Place the supplied speaker setup microphone at the listening position, and connect it to the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit. SETUP MIC When placing the speaker setup microphone on a tripod, refer to the illustration. 2. Select "Next", and press ENTER. Then, test tones are output from each speaker, and the connected speakers and the noise in the surrounding environment are automatically measured. 3. The measurement results in step 2 are displayed. If there is no problem in the detection result of the speaker, select "Next" and press ENTER to output the test tone again to automatically set the settings such as volume level, crossover frequency, etc., to their optimum. (The test tone is automatically output when 10 seconds has elapsed without any operation.) • When an error message is displayed or when the connected speakers cannot be detected, perform re-measurement by selecting "Retry" and pressing ENTER. • When it cannot be resolved by performing the re-measurement, confirm if the speakers are connected correctly. If there is any problem with the speaker connection, perform the connection after disconnecting the power cord. 157 Front Panel≫ Rear Panel≫ Remote≫
