(AUTO CALIBRATION)
This receiver is equipped with D.C.A.C.
(Digital Cinema Auto Calibration)
Technology which allows you to perform
automatic calibration as follows:
• Check the connection between each speaker
and the receiver.
• Adjust the speaker level.
• Measure the distance of each speaker to your
listening position.
You can also adjust the speaker levels and
balance manually. For details, see
“8: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance
(TEST TONE)” (page 30).
1 Connect the supplied ECM-AC2
optimizer microphone to the
AUTO CAL MIC jack.
2 Place the optimizer
microphone at your listening
position.
3 Place the speakers so that the
speakers are facing the
optimizer microphone.
Tips
• You can also fix the optimizer microphone to a
tripod (not supplied) and place the tripod at your
listening position.
• Be sure to remove any obstacles in the path
between the optimizer microphone and the
speakers.
• When you face the speaker towards the optimizer
microphone, you will get a more accurate
measurement.
