Performing acoustic auto calibration

You can correct the audio to the best acoustics for your viewing environment by using the remote control microphone to measure a test sound from the TV. (This setting may not be available depending on the model.)
Models that support acoustic auto calibration have the following setting.
[Settings] — [Display & Sound] — [Sound] — [Acoustic auto calibration]

Note

  • Calibration effects will vary depending on your watching environment.
  • A loud test sound will be played from the TV during measurement.
  • Do not block the microphone opening at the end of the remote control during measurement.
  • Do not move the remote control during measurement. Doing so may result in incorrect measurement.
  • Perform the calibration when your surroundings are quiet. Noise may result in incorrect measurement.
  • Acoustic auto calibration cannot be performed if you are using a sound bar. Change the following setting.
    [Settings] — [Display & Sound] — [Audio output] — [Speakers] — [TV speakers]
  1. Press the (Quick Settings) button on the remote control, then select the following settings.
    [Settings] — [Display & Sound] — [Sound] — [Acoustic auto calibration] — [Calibration setup]
  2. Measure by following the on-screen instructions.
    The acoustics will be corrected automatically based on the measurement results of your watching environment.

Hint

Acoustic auto calibration may fail in the following cases.

  • If the remote control is moved during measurement
  • If there are sounds other than the test sound (such as noise) during measurement
