How to interpret the graphical output
The graph shows decibels on the vertical axis and time (in 
milliseconds) on the horizontal axis. A straight line 
indicates a flat-response room (no reverb), whereas a 
sloping line indicates the presence of reverberation when 
outputting test tones. The sloping line will eventually 
flatten out when the reverberant sound stabilizes (this 
usually takes about 100 ms or so). 
By analyzing the graph, you should be able to see how 
your room is responding to certain frequencies. 
Differences in channel level and speaker distance are 
taken into account automatically (compensation is 
provided for comparison purposes), and the frequency 
measurements can be examined both with and without 
the equalization performed by this receiver.

Setting Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional 
according to your room characteristics
Using the manual setup, you can set the time period at 
which the frequency response is analyzed, pinpointing 
the time that is best for system calibration with your 
particular room characteristics.
The graph below shows the difference between 
conventional acoustic calibration and professional 
calibration (the gray circle indicates the point where the 
microphone captures sound during frequency analysis).
As soon as audio is output from your speaker system, it 
is influenced by room characteristics, such as walls, 
furniture, and the dimensions of the room. The sooner 
the frequency analysis, the less it is influenced by the 
room. We recommend an earlier time setting of 30-50ms 
to compensate for two major factors that will influence 
the sound of most rooms:
• Reverberance of high vs. low frequencies – 
Depending on your room, you may find that lower 
frequencies seem overly reverberant compared to 
higher frequencies (i.e. your room sounds ‘boomy’). 
This may result in a skewed frequency analysis if the 
measurement is done too late.
• Reverb characteristics for different channels – 
Reverb characteristics can be somewhat different for 
each channel. Since this difference increases as the 
sound is influenced by the various room 
characteristics, it is often better to capture a 
frequency analysis early on for smoother mixing of 
channel frequencies/sounds.
If your room isn’t affected by the factors above, it is often 
not necessary to make a 30-50ms setting. Later time 
settings may provide a more detailed sound experience 
with your speaker system. It is best to try and see what 
works best for your particular room.
Note that changing the room (for example, moving 
furniture or paintings) will affect the calibration results. 
In such cases, you should recalibrate your system.

Select ‘EQ Professional’, then press ENTER. 
 
Note
1 Note that due to an effect known as ‘group delay’, lower frequencies will take longer to be generated than higher frequencies (this is most 
obvious when comparing the frequencies at 0 ms). This initial slope is not a problem (i.e. excessive reverb) with your listening room.
