Professional Calibration EQ graphical output
Display
Symptom
Remedy
The EQ response displayed in
the graphical output
following calibration does not
appear entirely flat.
• There are cases where the graph does not appear flat (even when selecting
ALL CH ADJ
in the Auto MCACC Setup) due to adjustments made to
compensate for room characteristics to achieve optimal sound.
• Areas of the graph may appear identical (before and after) when there is little
or no adjustment needed.
• The graph may appear to have shifted vertically when comparing before and
after measurements.
EQ adjustments made using
the
Manual MCACC setup
on
page 94 do not appear to
change the graphical output.
• Despite level adjustments being made, the filters used for analysis may not
display these adjustments in the graphical output. However, these adjustments
are taken this into account by the filters dedicated to overall system calibration.
Lower frequency response
curves do not seem to have
been calibrated for
SMALL
speakers.
• Low frequencies used in bass management (the subwoofer channel) will not
change for speakers that have been specified as
SMALL
in the configuration,
or do not output these frequencies.
• Calibration is performed, but due to your speakers’ low frequency limitations,
no measurable sound is output for display.
Symptom
Remedy
The display is dark or off.
• Press
DIMMER
repeatedly to select a different brightness.
After making an adjustment
the display goes off.
• Press
DIMMER
repeatedly to select a different brightness.

light when playing Dolby/DTS
software.
• These indicators do not light if playback is paused.
• Check the playback (especially the digital output) settings of the source
component.
When playing Dolby Digital
or DTS sources, the receiver’s
format indicators do not light.
• Check that the player is connected using a digital connection.
• Make sure that the receiver is set to
AUTO
or
DIGITAL
(see
Choosing the
input signal
on page 65).
• Check that the player isn’t set up so that Dolby Digital and DTS sources are
converted to PCM.
• Ensure that if there are several audio tracks on the disc, the Dolby Digital or
DTS is selected.
When playing certain discs,
none of the receiver’s format
indicators light.
• The disc may not contain 5.1/6.1 channel material. Check the disc packaging
for more on what audio tracks are recorded on the disc.
When playing a disc with the
listening mode set to Auto
Surround or ALC,
2
PL II
or
Neo:6
