Advanced setup 11 • If No Data is displayed, you will need to make a reverb measurement using the Auto Pro or Reverb Measurement setup option. 7 If you selected 'Advanced EQ Setup', input the time setting you want to use for calibration, then select 'Start'. After checking on the reverb measurement above, you may want to manually choose the time period that will be used for the final frequency adjustment and calibration. Even though you can make this setting without reverb measurement, it is best to use the measurement results as a reference for your time setting. For an optimal system calibration based on the direct sound coming from the speakers, we recommend using the 20-40ms setting. Bass Peak Level Some audio sources (for example, Dolby Digital and DTS) include ultra-low bass tones. Set the bass limiter as needed to prevent the bass from distorting the sound from the subwoofer. 1 Select 'Bass Peak Level' from the Expert setup menu. The current setting is displayed.
