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 setting
up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8.
You only need to make these settings once (unless you
change the placement of your current speaker system or
add new speakers).
Important
• 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
SETUP to display the System Setup menu
before you connect the microphone to this receiver. If
the microphone is connected while the System Setup
menu is not being displayed, the display will change
to the Auto MCACC setup menu. See
Problems when
using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 10 for notes
regarding background noise and other possible
interference.
• If you’re using a subwoofer, switch it on and turn up
the volume as necessary.
Caution
• The test tones used in the MCACC setup are output
at high volume.
1 Select ‘Manual MCACC’ from the System Setup
menu.
See
Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu
above if you’re not already at this screen.
2 Select the setting you want to adjust.

make these settings in order.
• Fine Ch Level – Make fine adjustments to the overall
balance of your speaker system (see
Fine Channel
Level below).
• Fine SP Distance – Make precise delay settings for
your speaker system (see
Fine Speaker Distance on

Setting the Acoustic
Calibration EQ automatically on page 38).
• EQ Data Copy – Copy Acoustic Calibration EQ
settings for manual adjustment (see
Copying your
Acoustic Calibration EQ settings on page 38).

adjustments to your custom Acoustic Calibration EQ
settings (see
Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ
manually on page 39).

Fine Channel Level
• Default setting: 0.0dB (all channels)
You can achieve better surround sound by properly
adjusting the overall balance of your speaker system. The
following setting can help you make detailed
adjustments that you may not achieve using the
Manual
speaker setup on page 40.
1 Select ‘Fine Ch Level’ from the Manual MCACC
setup menu.
After the volume increases to the reference level, test
tones will be output.
2 Adjust the level of the left channel, press ENTER.
This will be the reference speaker level, so you may want
to keep the level around
0dB so that you’ll have plenty of
room to adjust the other speaker levels.
3 Select each channel in turn and adjust the levels
(+/–10dB) as necessary.
Use
/ to adjust the volume of the speaker you
selected to match the reference speaker.
