Using the Auto MCACC setup for
optimal surround sound
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system
measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening
area, taking into account ambient noise, and testing for
channel delay and channel level. After you have set up
the microphone provided, the system uses the
information from a series of test tones to optimize the
speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration
EQ) for your particular room. 1
Important
• The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup are loud;
however, do not turn the volume down during setup
as this may result in a sub-optimal setup.
• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not
moved during the MCACC setup.
1 Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC
jack on the rear panel.
2 Place the microphone at your normal listening
position.
Place the mic horizontally about ear level at your normal
listening position using a table or chair.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers
and the microphone.
3 If the receiver subwoofer is off, press STANDBY/
ON to turn the power on.
4 Press MCACC .
Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing MCACC . The
volume increases automatically and the system outputs
a series of test tones.
• To cancel Auto MCACC setup before it has finished,
press MCACC . The unit will continue to use the
previous settings.
• If the ambient noise level is too high, NOISY blinks in
the display for five seconds. To exit and check the
noise levels 2 , press MCACC , or to try again, press
ENTER when RETRY shows in the display.
• If you see an ERR MIC or ERR SP message in the
display, there may be a problem with your mic or the
speaker connections. To try again, press
ENTER
when you see RETRY . 3
When the MCACC setup is complete, the volume level
returns to normal, COMPLETE 4 shows in the display, and
Acoustic Calibration EQ is activated. 5
Note
1 You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you change the placement of your speakers or your room layout).

2 • If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient 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.
• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during Auto MCACC setup.
3 If this doesn’t work, press MCACC , turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the ERR message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again.
4 If COMPLETE doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.
