possible for home users to perform

calibrated accordingly to allow high precision,
automatic analysis and optimal calibration of
the sound field to bring it closer to a studio
environment than ever before. Furthermore,
while it was previously difficult to eliminate
standing waves, this receiver is equipped with
a standing wave control function using a
unique process to perform acoustic analysis
and reduce their influence.

before- and after-calibration) that this receiver had been storing will be overwritten. If you want to save the reverb

• When measurement is taken of data other than SYMMETRY (after selecting ALL or Keep SP System), the data are
not measured after the correction. If you will need to measure after correction data, take the measurement using the
EQ Professional menu in the Manual MCACC setup (page 93).
• The EQ Pro & S-Wave measurement is also taken when Keep SP System or EQ Pro & S-Wave is selected. See
Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional on page 93 for more on this.
• Either effect of Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional and Standing Wave can be switched on and off in the

appear on the reverb graph. With the Auto MCACC function, the reverberations are measured with the standing waves
controlled, so the reverb characteristics graph shows the characteristics with the effect of the standing waves
eliminated. By contrast, the Reverb Measurement function measures the reverberations without controlling the
