Sony ht ddw1600 User Manual

 

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 

 

Before you perform Auto Calibration, install 
and connect the speakers (page 15, 17).
• 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.

• The Auto Calibration function does not work when 

headphones are connected.

• If the Muting function is on when we perform Auto 

Calibration, it will turn off automatically.

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.

When you face the speaker towards the optimizer 
microphone, you will get a more accurate 
measurement.
