Professional Calibration EQ graphical output

Display

Symptom

Remedy

The EQ response displayed in
the graphical output following
calibration does not appear
entirely flat.

• There are cases where the graph does not appear flat (even when selecting

ALL CH ADJUST in the

Auto MCACC Setup) due to adjustments made to compensate for room characteristics to achieve
optimal sound.

• Areas of the graph may appear identical (before and after) when there is little or no adjustment
needed.

• The graph may appear to have shifted vertically when comparing before and after measurements.

EQ adjustments made using
the

Manual MCACC setup on

page 41 do not appear to
change the graphical output.

• Despite level adjustments being made, the filters used for analysis may not display these
adjustments in the graphical output. However, these adjustments are taken this into account by the
filters dedicated to overall system calibration.

Lower frequency response
curves do not seem to have
been calibrated for

SMALL

speakers.

• Low frequencies used in bass management (the subwoofer channel) will not change for speakers
that have been specified as

SMALL in the configuration, or do not output these frequencies.

• Calibration is performed, but due to your speakers’ low frequency limitations, no measurable
sound is output for display.

Graphical output data seems to
have disappeared.

• If the power is switched off, the measurement data for graphical output to a PC is cleared.

Symptom

Remedy

The display is dark or off.

• Press

DIMMER on the remote control repeatedly to select a different brightness.

After making an adjustment
the display goes off.

• Press

DIMMER on the remote control repeatedly to select a different brightness.

You can’t get

DIGITAL to

display when using the
SIGNAL SEL button.

• Check the digital connections and make sure that the digital inputs are assigned correctly (see

The

Input Setup menu on page 65).

• If the multichannel analog inputs are selected, select a different input source.

The Dolby/DTS indicator
doesn’t light when playing
Dolby/DTS software.

• These indicators do dot light if playback is paused.

• Check the playback (especially the digital output) settings of the source component.

When playing a DVD-Audio
disc, the DVD player display
shows

96 kHz. However, the

receiver’s display does not.

• This is not a malfunction. 96 kHz audio from DVD-Audio discs is only output from the analog
outputs of the DVD player. This receiver cannot show the playback sample rate when using the
analog inputs.

During playback of a DTS 96/24
source, the display doesn’t
show

96 kHz.

• Make sure that the receiver is set to

AUTO or DIGITAL (see Choosing the input signal on page 32).

When playing Dolby Digital or
DTS sources, the receiver’s
format indicators do not light.

• Check that the player is connected using a digital connection.

• Make sure that the receiver is set to

AUTO or DIGITAL (see Choosing the input signal on page 32).

• Check that the player isn’t set up so that Dolby Digital and DTS sources are converted to PCM.

• Ensure that if there are several audio tracks on the disc, the Dolby Digital or DTS is selected.

When playing certain discs,
none of the receiver’s format
indicators light.

• The disc may not contain 5.1/6.1 channel material. Check the disc packaging for more on what
audio tracks are recorded on the disc.
