Automatically conducting
optimum sound tuning (Full
Auto MCACC)
The Full Auto MCACC Setup measures the
acoustic characteristics of your listening area,
taking into account ambient noise, speaker
connection and speaker size, and tests for both
channel delay and channel level. After you have
set up the microphone provided with your sys-
tem, the receiver uses the information from a
series of test tones to optimize the speaker set-
tings and equalization for your particular room.
Important
! Make sure the microphone and speakers are
not moved during the Full Auto MCACC Setup.
! Using the Full Auto MCACC Setup will
overwrite any existing settings for the MCACC
preset you select.
! Before using the Full Auto MCACC Setup, the
headphones should be disconnected.
CAUTION
! The test tones used in the Full Auto MCACC
Setup are output at high volume.
