For more on the ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN settings, see Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically on page 40. 3 Select 'OK' to copy and confirm. 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 8) 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 on page 40 for how to do this). 1 Select 'EQ CUSTOM1 Adjust' or 'EQ CUSTOM2 Adjust' from the Manual MCACC setup menu. • 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. 2e.EQ CUSTOM1 Adjust Test Tone Type: "ALL CH ADJUST" Left 40Hz : [ +1.0dB] 125Hz : [ 0.0dB] 250Hz : [ 0.0dB] 4kHz : [ 0.0dB] 13kHz : [ 0.0dB] TRIM : [ 0.0dB] :Finish 2e.

It is best to choose whichever one you copied to the custom setting in Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings on page 40. 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. 4 When you're finished, press RETURN. You return to the Manual MCACC setup menu. 41 En
