Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ
manually
Before manually adjusting the Acoustic
Calibration EQ, we recommend copying the A.
CH or the F.ALG settings from the auto setup
above (or from Automatically setting up for
surround sound (MCACC) on page 8) to one of
the custom settings. Instead of just a flat EQ
curve, this will give you a reference point from
which to start (see Copying your Acoustic
Calibration EQ settings above for how to do
this).
1 Select ' C1 ADJ ' or ' C2 ADJ ' from the
Manual MCACC setup menu.
2 Use and ENTER to select which
method you want to use to adjust the overall
frequency balance.
It is best to choose whichever one you copied
to the custom setting in Copying your Acoustic
Calibration EQ settings above.
• A. CH ADJ – All the speakers can be set
independently so no special weighting is
given to any one channel. When adjusting,
test tones will sound for each individual
channel.
• F.ALG ADJ – Speakers are set in
accordance with the front speaker
settings. The sound of the test tone will
alternate between the left front (reference)
speaker and the target speaker.

and adjust to your liking.
Use the buttons to select the frequency
and to boost or cut the EQ. When you're
finished, use the
channel display (for example R EQ for the right
channel or SB EQ for the surround back
channel) then to proceed to the next
channel.
• The front speakers can't be adjusted if you
selected F.ALG ADJ.
• 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' band (TRM shows in the display).
