Automatically setting up for surround sound

(MCACC)

The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup

measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area,

taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance,

and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you

have set up the microphone provided with your system, the

receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to

optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your

particular room.

CAUTION

•

The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output at

high volume.

Important

•

The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the

HDMI output to your TV. Use composite connections for

Auto MCACC setup.

•

The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker

settings you’ve made.

•

Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod/USB input

should not be selected as an input source.

•

If you connected either the surround back speaker or the

front height speaker, make sure that the Pre Out setting is

correctly set before performing the Auto MCACC setup (see

page 33

). (Here is an explanation using the OSD screen for

a surround back speaker connection.)

Switch on the receiver and your TV.

Switch the TV input to the input that connects this

receiver to the TV through the corresponding

composite cable.

Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack

on the front panel.

Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers

and the microphone.

If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so that

it’s about ear level at your normal listening position.

Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a

table or a chair.
