Select each channel in turn and adjust
the distance as necessary.
Use
/
to adjust the delay of the speaker
you selected to match the reference speaker.
The delay is measured in terms of speaker
distance from

feet (0.1 m to 13 m).
Listen to the reference speaker and use it to
measure the target channel. From the listening
position, face the two speakers with your arms
outstretched pointing at each speaker. Try to
make the two tones sound as if they are
arriving simultaneously at a position slightly in
front of you and between your arm span.
When it sounds like the delay settings are
matched up, press
ENTER
to confirm and
continue to the next channel.
• For comparison purposes, the reference
speaker will change depending on which
speaker you select.

Acoustic Calibration EQ
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. This
provides a ‘flat’ equalization setting. If you’re
not satisfied with the automatic adjustment,
you can also adjust these settings manually to
get a frequency balance that suits your tastes.
