This appears according to the setting you chose in
Reverb Measurement (step 3 on page 45). Use

/ to

select the channel and the frequency you want to check.
Use

/ to go back and forth between the two. Note that

the markers on the vertical axis indicate decibels in 2 dB
steps.

If ‘Advanced EQ Setup’ is selected, enter the

desired time setting for calibration. Press

to proceed

to the next screen, and then select START.
Based on the reverb measurement above, you can
choose the time period that will be used for the final
frequency adjustment and calibration. Even though you
can make this setting without reverb measurement, it is
best to use the measurement results as a reference for
your time setting. For an optimal system calibration
based on the direct sound coming from the speakers, we
recommend using the 30~50ms setting.

Use

/ to select the channel, frequency, and time

setting. Use

/ to switch between them.

You can switch between your connected speakers
(excluding the subwoofer), and display the
measurements for the following frequencies: 63Hz,
125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz and
16kHz.

Select the setting from the following time periods (in
milliseconds): 0~20ms, 10~30ms, 20~40ms, 30~50ms,
40~60ms, 50~70ms and 60~80ms. This setting will be
applied to all channels during calibration.

When you’re finished, select START. It will take about 2
to 4 minutes for the calibration to finish.

After the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set, you are
given the option to check the settings on-screen.

Data Management

This system allows you to store up to six MCACC presets,
allowing you to calibrate your system for different
listening positions (or frequency adjustments for the
same listening position).

1

This is useful for alternate

settings to match the kind of source you’re listening to
and where you’re sitting (for example, watching movies
from a sofa, or playing a video game close to the TV).

From this menu you can check your current settings,
copy from one preset to another, name presets for easier
identification and clear any ones you don’t need.

1

Select ‘Data Management’ from the System Setup

menu.
See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu
on page 38 if you’re not already at this screen.

2

Select the setting you want to adjust.

MCACC Data Check – Checks the settings for any of

your MCACC presets using the on-screen display
(see Checking MCACC preset data below).

Memory Rename – Names your MCACC presets for

easy identification (see Renaming MCACC presets on
page 47).

MCACC Memory Copy – Copies settings from one

MCACC preset to another (see Copying MCACC
preset data
on page 47).

MCACC Memory Clear – Clears any MCACC presets

that you don’t want (see Clearing MCACC presets on
page 47).

Output PC – See Connecting a PC for Advanced

MCACC output on page 62 for more on this.

Checking MCACC preset data

After you have completed Automatically setting up for
surround sound (Auto MCACC)
on page 9 or Automatic
MCACC (Expert)
on page 38, you can check your
calibrated settings using the on-screen display.

1

Select ‘MCACC Data Check’ from the Data

Management setup menu.

2

Select the setting you want to check.

• It is useful to do this while a source is playing so you

can compare the different settings.

3

Select the MCACC preset that you want to check.

Use

/ if necessary to switch speakers/settings.

Note

1 This can be done in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 9 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 38, either of which you
should have already completed.
