Quick surround sound setup

VSX-516 model only

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.

Important

• The Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any

existing speaker settings you’ve made.

• Make sure the headphones are unplugged.

Caution

• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC

Setup are output at high volume.

Connect the microphone to the MCACC

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.
