(all channels/
bands)
Acoustic Calibration Equalization is a kind of
room equalizer for your speakers (excluding
the subwoofer). It works by measuring the
acoustic characteristics of your room and
neutralizing the ambient characteristics that
can color the original source material
(providing a ‘flat’ equalization setting). If you’re
not satisfied with the adjustment provided in
Automatically setting up for surround sound
(Auto MCACC)
on page 37 or
Automatic
MCACC (Expert)
on page 86, you can also
adjust these settings manually to get a
frequency balance that suits your tastes.
1
Select ‘EQ Adjust’ from the Manual
MCACC setup menu.
2
Select the channel(s) you want and adjust
to your liking.
Use
/
to select the channel.
Use
/
to select the frequency and
/
to
boost or cut the EQ. When you’re finished, go
back to the top of the screen and press
to
return to
Ch
, then use
/
to select the
channel.
• The
OVER!
indicator shows in the display if
the frequency adjustment is too drastic
and might distort. If this happens, bring the
level down until
OVER!
disappears from
the display.
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

TRIM
,
then use

to raise or lower the
channel level for the current speaker.

Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional
This setup minimizes the unwanted effects of
room reverberation by allowing you to calibrate
your system based on the direct sound coming
from the speakers.
How to use Acoustic Calibration EQ
Professional
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
(when Type A or Type B shown on the diagrams
on the following applies), select
EQ Pro. & S-
Wave
(or
ALL
) for the
Auto MCACC
setting in
Automatic MCACC (Expert)
on page 86 to
calibrate the room automatically.
Note
1 When
EQ Adjust
is selected for an MCACC preset memory where
EQ
is set to
OFF
in the
AUDIO PARAMETER
,
EQ
ON
is automatically selected.
