Basic Setup

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

composite output to your TV. Use HDMI connection for

Auto MCACC setup.

•

The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker

settings you’ve made.

•

Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the NETRADIO,

PANDORA, M.SERVER, FAVORITE, iPod/USB or

ADAPTER input should not be selected as an input source.

VSX-1023 only: When both the surround back speaker and

the front height speaker are connected, conduct Auto

MCACC setup twice: once with the Speaker System setting

is in Surr.Back and once with the Speaker System setting

is in Height. (There is no need to conduct Auto MCACC

setup every time the Speaker System setting is changed.)
