9: Calibrating the

appropriate settings

automatically

(AUTO

CALIBRATION)

The DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration)

function allows you to perform automatic

calibration, such as checking the connection

between each speaker and the receiver,

adjusting the speaker level, and measuring the

distance of each speaker from your listening

position automatically. Refer also to “Quick

Setup Guide” supplied with the receiver.

Before you perform the auto calibration, set up

and connect the speakers (page 15-18).

•

The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the

supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not

connect other microphones. Doing so may

damage the receiver and the microphone.

•

During the calibration, the sound that comes

out of the speakers is very loud. Pay

attention to the presence of children or to the

effect on your neighborhood.

•

Perform the auto calibration in a quiet

environment to avoid the effect of noise and

get a more accurate measurement.

•

If there are any obstacles in the path between

the optimizer microphone and the speakers,

the calibration cannot be performed

correctly. Remove any obstacle from the

measurement area to avoid measurement

failure.

•

When you use a bi-amplifier connection, set

“Sur Back Assign” to “BI-AMP” in the Auto

Calibration settings menu before you

perform auto calibration (page 74).

Notes

• The auto calibration function does not work in

following cases.

–

MULTI IN is selected.

–

“2ch Analog Direct” is being used (page 111).

–

Headphones are connected.

• Cancel the muting if MUTING is set to on.

Connect the supplied optimizer

microphone to the AUTO CAL

MIC jack.

Set up the optimizer

microphone.

Place the optimizer microphone at your

listening position. Use a stool or tripod so

that the optimizer microphone remains at

the same height as your ears.

On setting up the active sub

woofer

•

When a sub woofer is connected, turn on the

sub woofer and turn up the volume

beforehand. Turn the VOLUME knob to just

before the mid-point.

•

If you connect a sub woofer with the

crossover frequency function, set the value

to maximum.

•

If you connect a sub woofer with an auto

standby function, set it to off (deactivated).
