•Make sure the microphone is connected.

•If you’re using a subwoofer, it is automatically detected every time you switch on the system. Make sure it is on and the volume is turned up.

•See below for notes regarding background noise and other possible interference.

7Wait for the test tones to finish.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while it’s doing this.

If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t

correct, use to select the speaker and to change the setting (and number for surround back). When you’re finished, go to

the next step.

If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side column, there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If selecting RETRY doesn’t fix the problem, turn off the power and check the speaker connections.

9Make 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 for speaker setting, channel level, speaker distance, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.

10The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Select ‘SKIP’ to go back to the System Setup menu.

The MCACC indicator on the front panel will light to show the setup is complete.

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 36).2

You can also choose to view the settings by selecting individual parameters from the Analyzed Data Check screen:

Note

1If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through Surround back speaker setting on page 36 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing.

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 Speaker Setting on page 42.

•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.
