Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually

Before manually adjusting the Acoustic Calibration EQ,

we recommend copying the

ALL CH ADJUST

or the

FRONT ALIGN

settings from the auto setup above (or

from

Automatically setting up for surround sound

(MCACC)

on page 11) to one of the custom settings.

Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a

reference point from which to start (see

Copying your

Acoustic Calibration EQ settings

above for how to do this).

1

Select ‘EQ CUSTOM1 Adjust or EQ CUSTOM2

Adjust’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.

2

Select which method you would like to use to

adjust the overall frequency balance.

It is best to choose whichever one you copied to the

custom setting in

Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ

settings

above.

•

ALL CH ADJUST

– All the speakers can be set

independently so no special weighting is given to any

one channel. When adjusting, test tones will sound

for each individual channel.

•

FRONT ALIGN

– Speakers are set in accordance with

the front speaker settings. The sound of the test tone

will alternate between the left front (reference)

speaker and the target speaker.

3

Select the channel(s) you want and adjust to

your liking.

Use the

³/´

(cursor left/right) buttons to select the

channel.

Use the

±/²

(cursor up/down) buttons to select the

frequency and

³/´

(cursor left/right) to boost or cut the

EQ. When you’re finished, go back to the top of the

screen and use the

³/´

(cursor left/right) buttons to

select the next channel.

•

The front speakers can’t be adjusted if you selected

FRONT ALIGN

.

• The

OVER

indicator shows in the display if the

frequency adjustment is too drastic and might

distort. If this happens, bring the level down until

OVER

disappears from the display.

Tip

•

Changing the frequency curve of one channel too

drastically will affect the overall balance. If the

speaker balance seems uneven, you can raise or

lower channel levels using test tones with the

TRIM

feature. Use

±/²

(cursor up/down) to select

TRIM

then use

³/´

(cursor left/right) to raise or lower the

channel level for the current speaker.

4

When you're finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.

Checking your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings

After you have completed an automatic or manual

Acoustic Calibration EQ adjustment, you can check the

ALL CH ADJUST

,

FRONT ALIGN

and custom settings

using the on-screen display.
