Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC

jack on the front panel.

• Push down on the PUSH OPEN tab to access the

MCACC SETUP MIC jack.

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. If you
do not have a tripod, use some other object to install the

microphone.

When you’re finished setting the options, select

START then press ENTER.

5

Follow the instructions on-screen.

• Make sure the microphone is connected.

• If you’re using a subwoofer, it is automatically

detected every time you switch on the system. Make
sure it is on and the volume is turned up.

• See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on

page 40 for notes regarding high background noise
levels and other possible interference.

6

Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish

outputting test tones.
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.

• Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This

may result in incorrect speaker settings.

• 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
on page 40) and
verifying the mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to
be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and
continue.

7

If necessary, confirm the speaker configuration in

the GUI screen.

2

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

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 8.

• 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.

3

– 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.

Note

1 It may not be possible to measure correctly if the microphone is placed on a table, sofa, etc.
