9 The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! The MCACC
Data Check screen appears.
The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup should give
you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is
also possible to adjust these settings manually using the
Manual MCACC setup menu (starting below) or Manual
SP Setup menu (starting on page 55). 1
You can also choose to view the settings by selecting
individual parameters from the
MCACC Data Check
screen:
• Speaker Setting – The size and number of speakers
you’ve connected (see page 56 for more on this)
• Channel Level – The overall balance of your speaker
system (see page 47 or 57 for more on this)
• Speaker Distance – The distance of your speakers
from the listening position (see page 47 or 58 for
more on this) 2
• Standing Wave – Filter settings to control lower
‘boomy’ frequencies (see page 48 for more on this)
• Acoustic Cal EQ – Adjustments to the frequency
balance of your speaker system based on the
acoustic characteristics of your room (see page 48
for more on this)
• Group Delay – The original characteristics of group
delay of the speakers calibrated and the targeted
characteristics can be displayed graphically (see
Using Full Band Phase Control on page 13 for more on
this).
Press RETURN after you have finished checking each
screen. When you’re finished, select RETURN to go back
to the HOME MENU.
Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver
upon completion of the Auto MCACC Setup.
Manual MCACC setup
You can use the settings in the Manual MCACC setup
menu to make detailed adjustments when you’re more
familiar with the system. Before making these settings,
you should have already completed
Automatically setting
up for surround sound (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control)
on page 10.
You only need to make these settings once (unless you
change the placement of your current speaker system or
add new speakers).
Caution
• The test tones used in the Manual MCACC setup are
output at high volume.
Important
• You will need to first specify the MCACC preset you
want to adjust by pressing MCACC before pressing
HOME MENU (step 2 in Making receiver settings from
the Advanced MCACC menu on page 43). When
Manual MCACC is selected while
MCACC is set to
OFF, the selection screen for the MCACC memory
appears. Select a memory to adjust manually.
• For some of the settings below, you’ll have to connect
the setup microphone to the front panel and place it
about ear level at your normal listening position.
Press
HOME MENU to display the HOME MENU
before you connect the microphone to this receiver. If
the microphone is connected while the
HOME
MENU is not being displayed, the display will change
to the
Full Auto MCACC under Advanced MCACC.
• See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on
page 11 for notes regarding high background noise
levels and other possible interference.
• If you’re using a subwoofer, switch it on and turn up
the volume to the middle position.
Note
1 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with
different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 55.
• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking
delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
• If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend
adjusting the settings manually.
2 Since the distance measurements have been set according to the sound characteristics of your speakers, there are cases where (for optimal
surround sound) the actual distance may differ from the speaker distance setting.
