Make sure you do this before moving on to Playing a
source on page 13.
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 or
HOME MEDIA GALLERY function should not be
selected as an input source.
Caution
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are
output at high volume.
1 Switch on the amplifier 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.
• Push down on the lower portion of the front panel
door to access the MCACC SETUP MIC jack:
The Auto MCACC display appears once the microphone
is connected. 1
3 Make sure ‘Normal’ is selected, 2 select an MCACC
preset 3 , then select START. 4
4 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.
5 Wait for the test tones to finish, then confirm the
speaker configuration in the OSD.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the
amplifier outputs test tones to determine the speakers
present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while
it’s doing this. 5
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 6.
• 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 on page 13) 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.

Note
1 • You can’t use the System Setup menu in either the main or sub zone when the iPod or HOME MEDIA GALLAERY input source is selected. When you
set
ZONE 2, ZONE 3 or ZONE 2&3 to ON (page 66), you can’t use the System Setup menu.
• If you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup, or leave an error message for over three minutes, the screen saver will appear.
2 • The setting you should select differs according to the selected speaker layout/usage method (for example if you are planning to make bi-amp
connections, to set up another speaker system, etc.). For details see
Selecting the speaker layout/usage pattern on page 9 and Speaker output setting on
page 43.
• If you have THX-certified speakers, select CUSTOM and choose YES for the THX Speaker setting.
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 50).
4 Note that correction curves are saved only when set to SYMMETRY. Select CUSTOM to save other correction curves (such as ALL CH ADJUST and
FRONT ALIGN). See Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 40 for more on this.
5 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.
