and set the following parameters using
/
:
5
•
Custom Menu
– The default is
ALL
(recommended),
but you can limit the system calibration to only one
setting (to save time) if you want.
6
The available
options are
ALL
,
Keep SP SYSTEM
,
7
Speaker
Setting
,
Channel Level
,
Speaker Distance
and
EQ
Pro. & S-Wave
.
•
EQ Type
(only available when the Custom Menu
above is
EQ Pro. & S-Wave
)
– This determines how
the frequency balance is adjusted.
After a single calibration is performed, each of the
following three correction curves can be stored
separately in the MCACC memory.
SYMMETRY
(default)
implements symmetric correction for each pair of left
and right speakers to flatten the frequency amplitude
characteristics.
ALL CH ADJUST
is a ‘flat’ setting where
all the speakers are set individually so no special
weighting is given to any one channel.
FRONT ALIGN
8
sets all speakers in accordance with the front speaker
settings (no equalization is applied to the front left and
right channels).
•
THX Speaker
(only available when the Custom Menu
above is
ALL
or
Speaker Setting
)
– Select
YES
if you
are using THX speakers (set all speakers to
SMALL
),
otherwise leave it set to
NO
.
•
Stand.Wave Multi-Point
(only available when the
Custom Menu above is
EQ Pro. & S-Wave
)
– In
addition to measurements at the listening position,
you can use two more reference points for which test
tones will be analyzed for standing waves. This is
useful if you want to get a balanced ‘flat’ calibration
for several seating positions in your listening area.
9
Place the microphone at the reference point
indicated on-screen and note
the last microphone
placement will be at your main listening position:
When you’re finished settings the options, press
RETURN
to go back to the Auto MCACC main setup.
Note
1 Except in cases where you are only adjusting one parameter (i.e. channel level) from the
CUSTOM
setup screen (step 2).
2 If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through
Surround back speaker setting
on page 42 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 3.
3 The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening positions. Simply choose an unused preset for now (you can
rename it later in
Data Management
on page 48).
4 Note that correction curves are saved only when set to
SYMMETRY
. Select
CUSTOM
to save other correction curves (such as
ALL CH ADJUST
and
FRONT ALIGN
).
5 Select
DEMO
, and then press
ENTER
to activate the demo mode of Auto MCACC. In the demo mode, no settings are saved and no errors occur. When
the speakers are connected to this receiver, the test tone is output repeatedly. Press
RETURN
to cancel the test tone.
6 • The
EQ Pro. & S-Wave
measurement is also taken when
ALL
is selected. See
Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional
on page 45 for more on this.
• Either effect of Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional and Standing Wave can be switched on and off in the respective MCACC preset. For details, see
Setting the Audio options
on page 70.
• The
FULL BAND PHASE CTRL
measurement is also taken when
ALL
is selected. See
Full Band Phase Control
on page 47.
7 The
Keep SP SYSTEM
option allows you to calibrate your system while leaving your current speaker setting (page 50) unchanged.
