It seems someone else suggested this about a year ago. I tried it with out good results. I may try it again, just for grins, though. When I can find it in the menu. It may be under Advanced MCACC settings.

IIRC the 3 point measurement is only for standing wave correction. You can't run the full auto mode - you have to go in and do the standing wave 3 point measurement separately.

For my room and to my ears the standing wave correction is the most useful correction the MCACC does. I always defeat the EQ settings MCACC wants to apply - just my personal preference.

Yeah, it won't work in the full auto mode on my receiver either. It'll only work using the "Acoustic Cal Eq" or "Aco Cal Eq Pro".

At any rate, in should help to flatten the response at more than one seat.

I don't think that my problem is trying to get a flat response. I get the feeling I don't like the sound of flat response when it gets played back using "most" sources. I think most CD's, etc. are designed with lossy format where, in order to get a flat response, you have to attenuate the mid range.

Brian, not quality CDs, classical or otherwise. Many popcrap CDs do have an elevated upper midrange/lower treble roughly from 3-6KHz to sound more impressive on mediocre equipment.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
