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 40). 1
You can also choose to view the settings by selecting
individual parameters from the
MCACC Data Check
screen:
• Speaker Setting – The size and number of speakers
you’ve connected (see page 52 for more on this)
• Channel Level – The overall balance of your speaker
system (see page 44 or 53 for more on this)
• Speaker Distance – The distance of your speakers
from the listening position (see page 45 or 54 for
more on this) 2
• Standing Wave – Filter settings to control lower
‘boomy’ frequencies (see page 46 for more on this)
• Acoustic Cal EQ – Adjustments to the frequency
balance of your speaker system based on the
acoustic characteristics of your room (see page 47
for more on this)
• FULL BAND PHASE CTRL – The original
characteristics of group delay of the speakers
calibrated and the targeted characteristics can be
displayed graphically (see
Full Band Phase Control on
page 49 for more on this).
Press ENTER after you have finished checking each
screen. When you’re finished, select RETURN to go back
to the System Setup menu.
Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this amplifier
upon completion of the Auto MCACC setup.

The amplifier’s volume is set to the minimum in order to
protect the speakers.

connections”.
• 7.2ch+Speaker B – Select for “7.2-channel + speaker
B connections”.
3 Select ‘Confirm’.

The setting is made according to the selected item.
5 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the System Setup menu.
Note
1 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up with different size settings.
You can correct the setting manually using the
Manual speaker setup on page 52.
• 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.
• If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend adjusting
the settings manually.
2 Since the distance measurements have been set according to the sound characteristics of your speakers, there are cases where (for optimal surround
sound) the actual distance may differ from the speaker distance setting.
3 • When changing the speaker output settings, we recommend selecting the speaker layout/usage pattern first.
• All the MCACC memory settings are cleared when the speaker output settings are changed. Perform the Auto MCACC Setup procedure again after
changing the speaker connections and speaker output settings (see page 11).
