Automatically setting up for
surround sound (Auto MCACC)
The 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
system, the receiver uses the information from
a series of test tones to optimize the speaker
settings and equalization for your particular
room.
Make sure you do this before moving on to
Playing a source on page 41.
Important
• Make sure the microphone and speakers
are not moved during the Auto MCACC
Setup.
• Using the Auto MCACC Setup will
overwrite any existing settings for the
MCACC preset you select.
• Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the
headphones should be disconnected and
the iPod/USB function should not be
selected as an input function.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC
Setup are output at high volume.
1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.
2 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.
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 Full Auto MCACC display appears once the
microphone is connected.

1 • You can’t use the HOME MENU when the iPod/USB input function is selected (in either the main or sub zone).
When you set ZONE 2 to ON (page 68), you can’t use the HOME MENU.
• If you leave the GUI screen for over five minutes, the screen saver will appear.
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 93 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before
continuing to step 4.
• If you have THX-certified speakers, select Return, then select Auto MCACC for the THX Speaker setting. See
Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 77 for more on this.
3 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 90).
4 Note that correction curves are saved only when set to SYMMETRY. Select Return, then select Auto MCACC to save
other correction curves (such as ALL CH ADJ and FRONT ALIGN). See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 77 for
more on this.
