Press RETURN when you're done. :Return ENTER:Next :Return 2 Select an option and press ENTER. • Reverb Measurement - Use this to measure the reverb characteristics of your room (for graphical output using a PC, see Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC output on page 62 to connect an RS-232C cable before selecting this option). • Reverb View - You can check the reverb measurements made for specified frequency ranges in each channel. • Reverb Output PC - See Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC output on page 62 for more on this. • Advanced EQ Setup - Use this to select the time period that will be used for frequency adjustment and calibration, based on the reverb measurement of your listening area. Note that customizing system calibration using this setup will alter the settings you made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 7 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 34 and is not necessary if you're satisfied with these settings. 3 If you selected 'Reverb Measurement', select EQ ON or OFF and then OK. 3e1.Reverb Measurement MCACC: M1.MEMORY 1 Measure with EQ OFF Setting Start?

Use the / buttons to select the channel and the frequency you want to check. Use the / buttons to go back and forth between the two. Note that the markers on the vertical axis indicate decibels in 2 dB steps. 5 If you selected 'Advanced EQ Setup', input the time setting you want to use for calibration, then select 'Go'. Select 'Start' from the next screen. Based on the reverb measurement above, you can 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. 3e4. dB Adv.

Select the setting from the following time periods (in milliseconds): 0~20ms, 10~30ms, 20~40ms, 30~50ms, 40~60ms, 50~70ms and 60~80ms. This setting will be applied to all channels during calibration. When you're finished, select OK. It will take about 1 to 4 minutes for the calibration to finish. After the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set, you are given the option to check the settings on-screen. Note 1 The calibration corresponding to the currently selected MCACC preset will be used when EQ ON is selected. To use another MCACC preset, exit the System Setup menu and press MCACC to select it before pressing SETUP. 41 En
