Basic Setup
Automatically setting up for
surround sound (MCACC)
The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration
(MCACC) setup measures the acoustic
characteristics of your listening area, taking
into account ambient noise, speaker size and
distance, 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.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC
Setup are output at high volume.
Important
• The OSD will not appear if you have
connected using the HDMI output to your
TV. Use component or composite
connections for system setup.
• The Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any
existing speaker settings you’ve made.
• Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the
iPod USB function should not be selected
as an input source.
• If you connected either the surround back
speaker or the front height speaker, make
sure that the Pre Out setting is correctly set
before performing the Auto MCACC Setup
(see page 47). (Here is an explanation
using the OSD screen for a surround back
speaker connection.)
1
Switch on the receiver and your TV.
Switch the TV input so that it connects to the
receiver in analog.
2
Connect the microphone to the MCACC
SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the
speakers and the microphone.
If you have a tripod, use it to place the
microphone so that it’s about ear level at your
normal listening position. Otherwise, place the
microphone at ear level using a table or a chair.
