7: Calibrating the
appropriate settings
automatically
(AUTO CALIBRATION)
The DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration)
function allows you to perform Automatic
Calibration, such as checking the connection
between each speaker and the receiver,
adjusting the speaker level, and measuring the
distance of each speaker from your listening
position automatically. Refer also to the
“Quick Setup Guide” supplied with the
receiver.
You can also adjust the speaker levels and
balance manually. For details, see
“8: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance
(TEST TONE)” (page 34).
Before you perform Auto Calibration, install
and connect the speakers (page 15, 16).
• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the
supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not
connect other microphones to this jack.
Doing so may damage the receiver and the
microphone.
• During calibration, the sound that comes out
of the speakers is very loud. Pay attention to
the presence of children or to the effect on
your neighborhood.
• Perform Auto Calibration in a quiet
environment to avoid the effect of noise and
to get a more accurate measurement.
• If there are any obstacles in the path between
the optimizer microphone and the speakers,
the calibration cannot be performed
correctly. Remove any obstacles from the
measurement area to avoid measurement
error.
Notes
• The Auto Calibration function does not work in the
following cases.
– The ANALOG DIRECT function is being used.
– Headphones are connected.
• If the Muting function is on when we perform Auto
Calibration, it will turn off automatically.
1 Connect the supplied optimizer
microphone to the AUTO CAL
MIC jack on the front panel.
2 Set up the optimizer
microphone.
Place the optimizer microphone at your
listening position.You can also use a stool
or tripod so that the optimizer
microphone remains at the same height as
your ears.
Tip
When you face the speaker towards the optimizer
microphone, you will get a more accurate
measurement.
