Automatic MCACC (Expert)

If your setup requires more detailed settings than those
provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound
(Auto MCACC)
on page 39, you can customize your setup
options below. You can calibrate your system differently
for up to six different MCACC presets

1

, which are useful

if you have different listening positions depending on the
type of source (for example, watching movies from a sofa,
or playing a video game close to the TV).

2

Important

• Make sure the microphone/speakers are not moved

during the Auto MCACC Setup.

• Using the Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any

existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.

3

• The screen saver will automatically appear after five

minutes of inactivity.

CAUTION

• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are

output at high volume.

EQ Type (only available when the Auto MCACC

Menu above is

EQ Pro & S-Wave) – This determines

how the frequency balance is adjusted.

After a single calibration is performed, each of the
following three correction curves can be stored
separately in the MCACC memory. SYMMETRY (default)
implements symmetric correction for each pair of left
and right speakers to flatten the frequency-amplitude
characteristics. ALL CH ADJ is a ‘flat’ setting where all
the speakers are set individually so no special weighting

is given to any one channel. FRONT ALIGN

6

sets all

speakers in accordance with the front speaker settings
(no equalization is applied to the front left and right
channels).

THX Speaker (only available when the Auto MCACC

Menu above is

ALL or Speaker Setting) – Select YES

if you are using THX speakers (set all speakers to
SMALL), otherwise leave it set to NO.

STAND.WAVE Multi-Point (only available when the

Auto MCACC Menu above is EQ Pro & S-Wave) – In
addition to measurements at the listening position,
you can use two more reference points for which test
tones will be analyzed for standing waves. This is
useful if you want to get a balanced ‘flat’ calibration
for several seating positions in your listening area.

7

Place the microphone at the reference point
indicated on-screen and note the last microphone
placement will be at your main listening position:

Note

1 These are stored in memory and referred to as MEMORY1 to MEMORY6 until you rename them in Data Management on page 82.
2 You may also want to have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system.
3 Except in cases where you are only adjusting one parameter (i.e. channel level) from the Auto MCACC menu (step 2).
