SURROUND SET UP
Setting Up for Surround Sound
Acoustic Calibration EQ
This setting is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers. You can select a frequency balance between your
speakers that suits your personal tastes. This feature also allows you to increase the amount of a certain
frequency in the soundtrack, which will have the effect of hearing more (or less) bass, mid-range or treble.
When you use Acoustic Calibration EQ (see p.50) you can toggle between two variations (ALL CH ADJ and
FRONT ALIGN) of this setting. Both are set here. If continuing from CHANNEL LEVEL go to step 1. If starting
fresh, complete steps 1-3 in Setting Up for Surround Sound (p.35) first.

ACOUSTIC CAL EQ should be selected.

and press ENTER.

AUTO will appear on the OSD. Press
ENTER.
There are two types of curve modes that will be set.
These are ALL CH ADJ mode and FRONT ALIGN mode.
ALL CH ADJ mode (flat curve): All the speakers are
set individually (except for the subwoofer). No
special weighting is given to any channel over any
other channel so this setting is the most direct
representation of the source being played.
FRONT ALIGN mode (front speaker curve): All
speakers (except for the subwoofer) are set in
accordance with the settings of the FRONT speak-
ers. This setting allows the listener to enjoy a sound
balance defined by the front speakers (the main
speakers for home theater).
The frequency balance is set automatically by the
receiver (see page 15) and both types curves are
adjusted this way.
WARNING: the test tones are very loud!! Make sure
there are no infants or small children in the room and
that no one who will be scared, upset or damaged by
loud noise is present. You yourself may want to wear
earplugs.
