Checking your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings If you want to manually adjust the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually above), 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 on page 12) to one of the custom settings. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start. 1 Select 'Acoustic Cal EQ' from the Expert setup menu.

Professional Acoustic Calibration This setup minimizes the unwanted effects of room reverberation by calibrating your system based on the direct sound coming from the speakers. It can also provide you with a graphical output of the frequency response of your room. Note • Before setting up with Professional Acoustic Calibration, you should finish calibrating using the Auto Surround Setup on page 12. How to use Professional Acoustic Calibration 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, use the Auto Pro setup to calibrate the room automatically. This should provide a more balanced calibration than simply using the standard Acoustic Calibration EQ. The manual setup allows you to customize your system calibration with the help of a graphical output that can be displayed on-screen, or using a computer (with software available from Pioneer-see Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC output on page 70 for more on this). 79 En
