Switch on the receiver and your TV.

2

Connect the microphone to the

MCACC SETUP MIC

jack on the front panel.

Place the microphone so that it’s about ear level at your
normal listening position (use a tripod if possible). Make
sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and
the microphone.

The Auto MCACC display appears once the microphone

is connected.

1

3

Make sure ‘Normal (SB)’ is selected then press

ENTER.

4

Make sure ‘TYPE1’ is selected then press ENTER.

3

5

Follow the instructions on-screen.

Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you’re
using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to
a comfortable volume level.

6

Wait for the test tones to finish then confirm the

speaker configuration in the OSD.

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.

4

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 7.

• With error messages (such as

Ambient Noise

or

Microphone Check

) select

RETRY

after checking for

ambient noise (see

Problems when using the Auto

MCACC Setup

below) and verifying the mic

connection.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the

actual speakers you have.

5

If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct, use

/

to select the speaker and

/

to change the

setting (and number for surround back). When you’re
finished, go to the next step. If you see an error message
(

ERR

) in the right side column, there may be a problem

with the speaker connection. If selecting

RETRY

doesn’t

fix the problem, turn off the power and check the speaker
connections.

7

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, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is
happening. It may take 2 to 6 minutes.

8

The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Select

‘SKIP’ to go back to the System Setup menu.

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 35).

6

Note

1 • If you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup, or leave an error message for over three minutes, the screen saver will appear.

• The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the HDMI output to your TV. Use component, S-video, or composite connections for system setup.

2 • 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 35 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 5.

• If you have THX-certified speakers, make sure

YES

is selected in

THX Speaker Setup

on page 42.

3 When

TYPE1

is selected, the calibration is set for

ALL CH ADJUST

; when

TYPE2

is selected, the calibration is set for both

ALL CH ADJUST

and

FRONT

ALIGN

. For details on the correction of each setting, see

Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ

on page 37.

4 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.

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

Listening to Surround Sound

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

6 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with different
size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the

Manual speaker setup

on page 40.

• 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.
