Wait for the test tones to finish, then confirm the

speaker configuration in the GUI screen.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the
receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers
present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while
it’s doing this.

If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the
speaker configuration check screen is being displayed,
the Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this
case, you don’t need to select ‘OK’ and press ENTER in
step 6.

• With error messages (such as Too much ambient

noise! or Check microphone.) select RETRY after
checking for ambient noise (see Problems when
using the Auto MCACC Setup
below) and verifying the
mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a
problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and
continue.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the
actual speakers you have.

• If you see an ERR message (or the speaker

configuration displayed isn’t correct), there may be a
problem with the speaker connection.
If selecting RETRY doesn’t work, turn off the power
and check the speaker connections. If there doesn’t
seem to be a problem, you can simply use

/ to

select the speaker and

/ to change the setting

and continue.

• If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker’s wiring

(+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker
connections.

– If the connections were wrong, turn off the power,
disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly.
After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure
again.
– If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and
continue.

6

Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press ENTER.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the
receiver outputs more test tones to determine the
optimum receiver settings for Channel Level, Speaker
Distance, Standing Wave and Acoustic Cal EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is
happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.

7

The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and

the Home Menu menu reappears automatically.

3

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver
upon completion of the Auto MCACC Setup.

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
Advanced MCACC menu
on page 71 or The system and
the other setup
on page 84.

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.

The Input Setup menu

You only need to make settings in the Input Setup menu
if you didn’t hook up your digital equipment according to
the default settings (see Input function default and
possible settings
on page 41). In this case, you need to
tell the receiver what equipment is hooked up to which
terminal so the buttons on the remote control
correspond to the components you’ve connected.

Note

1 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.
2 If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective

speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected.

3 You can also choose to view the settings from the MCACC Data Check screen. See Checking MCACC Data on page 80 for more on this.
4 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up with different size

settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 84.
• 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.
