Other problems when using the Auto

MCACC Setup

If the room environment is not optimal for the

Auto MCACC Setup (too much background

noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking

the speakers from the microphone) the final

settings may be incorrect. Check for household

appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.),

that may be affecting the environment and

switch them off if necessary. If there are any

instructions showing in the front panel display,

please follow them.

• Some older TVs may interfere with the

operation of the microphone. If this seems

to be happening, switch off the TV when

doing the Auto MCACC Setup.

Better sound using Phase

Control

This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses

phase correction measures to make sure your

sound source arrives at the listening position

in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/

or coloring of the sound (see illustration

below).

Phase Control technology provides coherent

sound reproduction through the use of phase

matching

for an optimal sound image at your

listening position. The default setting is on and

we recommend leaving Phase Control

switched on for all sound sources.

• Press PHASE (PHASE CONTROL) to switch

on phase correction.

Note

1 Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’, they crest

and trough together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a

trough (as shown in the upper section of the diagram above) then the sound will be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable sound

image will be produced.
