• 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 44) and
verifying the mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to
be a problem, you can simply select
GO NEXT and
continue.
7 If necessary, confirm the speaker configuration in
the GUI screen.
The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the
actual speakers you have.
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 8.
• If you see an ERR message (or the speaker
configuration displayed isn’t correct), there may be a
problem with the speaker connection.
If selecting
RETRY doesn’t work, turn off the power
and check the speaker connections. If there doesn’t
seem to be a problem, you can simply use
/ to
select the speaker and
/ to change the setting
and continue.
• If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker’s wiring
(+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker
connections.

– If the connections were wrong, turn off the power,
disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly.
After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure
again.
– If the connections were right, select
GO NEXT and
continue.
8 Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press ENTER.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the
receiver outputs more test tones to determine the
optimum receiver settings.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is
happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.
• If you selected a STAND.WAVE Multi-Point setup
(in step 2), you will be asked to place the mic at the
2nd and 3rd reference points before finally placing it
at your main listening position.
9 The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and
the Advanced MCACC menu reappears automatically.
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
Manual MCACC setup menu (starting below) or Manual
SP Setup menu (starting on page 110).

You can also choose to view the settings by selecting
individual parameters from the
MCACC Data Check
screen (see Checking MCACC Data on page 106).
Press RETURN after you have finished checking each
screen. When you’re finished, select RETURN to go back
to the Home Menu.
Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver
upon completion of the Auto MCACC Setup.
Manual MCACC setup
You can use the settings in the Manual MCACC setup
menu to make detailed adjustments when you’re more
familiar with the system. Before making these settings,
you should have already completed Automatically
conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on
page 42.
You only need to make these settings once (unless you
change the placement of your current speaker system or
add new speakers).
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Manual MCACC setup are
output at high volume.
Important
• Press the MCACC button while the pertinent setup
screens are displayed to select MCACC presets.
• For some of the settings below, you’ll have to connect
the setup microphone to the front panel and place it
about ear level at your normal listening position.
Press
HOME MENU to display the Home Menu
before you connect the microphone to this receiver.
• See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on
page 44 for notes regarding high background noise
levels and other possible interference.
• If you’re using a subwoofer, switch it on and turn up
the volume to the middle position.
Note
1 If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective
speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected.
2 • 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 110.
• 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.
