7: Calibrating the 
appropriate settings 
automatically
 
(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 
 
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.
