Automatically setting up for surround
sound (Auto MCACC & Full Band Phase
Control)
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, and also to calibrate the
frequency-phase characteristics of the speakers
connected.
Make sure you do this before moving on to Playing a
source on page 49.
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 or HOME MEDIA GALLERY function should not
be selected as an input function.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are
output at high volume.

jack on the front panel.
• Push down on the lower portion of the front panel
door to access the MCACC SETUP MIC jack.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers

do not have a tripod, use some other object to install the
microphone.
