.

)

– This

determines how the frequency balance is adjusted.

FRONT ALIGN

sets all speakers in accordance with

the front speaker settings (no equalization is applied
to the front left and right channels), and

available when

)

– 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.

Place the microphone at the reference point
indicated on-screen and note

the last microphone

placement will be at your main listening position:

When you’re finished settings the options, press

to go back to the Auto MCACC main setup.

3

Connect the microphone to the MCACC

SETUP MIC

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.

4

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 at the middle position.

• See

Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup

on

page 10 for notes regarding high background noise
levels and other possible interference.

5

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.

Note

1 If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through

Surround back speaker

setting

on page 39 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 4.

2 The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening positions. Simply choose an unused preset for now (you can
rename it later in

Data Management

on page 45).

3 The

measurement is also taken when

ALL

is selected. See

Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ

on page 43 for more on this.

4 The

ALL (Keep SPsetting)

option allows you to calibrate your system while leaving your current speaker setting (page 46) unchanged.

5 If you selected

ALL

as your

Auto Mode

setting, you can specify the MCACC preset where you want to save the

FRONT ALIGN

and/or

OFF

settings.
