Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound

The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, and testing for channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided, the system uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration

EQ) for your particular room.1

Important

•The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup are loud; however, do not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a sub-optimal setup.

•Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the MCACC setup.

3 If the receiver subwoofer is off, press STANDBY/ ON to turn the power on.

4 Press MCACC.

Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing MCACC. The volume increases automatically and the system outputs a series of test tones.

•To cancel Auto MCACC setup before it has finished, press MCACC. The unit will continue to use the previous settings.

•If the ambient noise level is too high, NOISY blinks in the display for five seconds. To exit and check the noise levels2, press MCACC, or to try again, press ENTER when RETRY shows in the display.

•If you see an ERR MIC or ERR SP message in the display, there may be a problem with your mic or the speaker connections. To try again, press ENTER when you see RETRY.3

When the MCACC setup is complete, the volume level returns to normal, COMPLETE4 shows in the display, and Acoustic Calibration EQ is activated.5

Note

1You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you change the placement of your speakers or your room layout).

2• If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary.

• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during Auto MCACC setup.

3If this doesn’t work, press MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the ERR message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again.

4If COMPLETE doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.

5See Listening with Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 18 to switch on/off Acoustic Calibration EQ.
