The Advanced MCACC menu 10 • Freq / Q / ATT - These are the filter parameters where Freq represents the frequency you will be targeting and Q is the bandwidth (the higher the Q, the narrower the bandwidth, or range) of the attenuation (ATT, the amount of reduction to the targeted frequency). 3 When you're finished, press RETURN. You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu. Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust • Default setting: ON1/0.0dB (all channels/ bands) Acoustic Calibration Equalization is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers (excluding the subwoofer). It works by measuring the acoustic characteristics of your room and neutralizing the ambient characteristics that can color the original source material (providing a 'flat' equalization setting). If you're not satisfied with the adjustment provided in Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Auto MCACC on page 41 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 91, you can also adjust these settings manually to get a frequency balance that suits your tastes. 1 Select 'EQ Adjust' from the Manual MCACC setup menu. 2 Select the channel(s) you want and adjust to your liking. Use / to select the channel. Use / to select the frequency and / to boost or cut the EQ. When you're finished, go back to the top of the screen and press to return to Ch, then use / to select the channel. • 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 / to select TRIM, then use / to raise or lower the channel level for the current speaker. 3 When you're finished, press RETURN. You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu. Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional This setup minimizes the unwanted effects of room reverberation by allowing you to calibrate your system based on the direct sound coming from the speakers. How to use Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional If you find that lower frequencies seem overly reverberant in your listening room (i.e. it sounds 'boomy'), or that different channels seem to exhibit different reverb characteristics (when Type A or Type B shown on the diagrams on the following applies), select EQ Pro. & SWave (or ALL) for the Auto MCACC setting in Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 91 to calibrate the room automatically. Note 1 When EQ Adjust is selected for an MCACC preset memory where EQ is set to OFF in the AUDIO PARAMETER, EQ ON is automatically selected. 97 En
