• 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 error message (

ERR

) in the right side

column (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 number for surround back) and continue.

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, Acoustic Cal EQ and Full Band
Phase Control.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is
happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.

The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Press

RETURN

to go back to the System Setup menu.

2

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

System Setup menu (starting on page 37).

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.

Playing a source

Here are the basic instructions for playing a source (such
as a DVD disc) with your home theater system.

1

Switch on your system components and receiver.

Start by switching on the playback component (for

example a DVD player), your TV

4

and subwoofer (if you

have one), then the receiver (press

RECEIVER

).

• Make sure the setup mic is disconnected.

2

Select the input source you want to play.

You can use the input source buttons on the remote
control,

INPUT SELECT

, or the front panel

INPUT

SELECTOR

dial.

Note

1 If you’re using the front panel display, the diagram in

Listening to Surround Sound

above indicates (in bold) how each speaker is displayed.

2 You can also choose to view the settings from the

MCACC Data Check

screen. See

Automatic MCACC (Expert)

on page 37 for more on this.

3 • 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 48.

• 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.
