Automatic MCACC (Expert)

If your setup requires more detailed settings than those provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 7, you can customize your setup options below. You can calibrate your system differently

for up to six different MCACC presets3, which are useful if you have different listening positions depending on the type of source (for example, watching movies from a sofa,

or playing a video game close to the TV).4

Important

•Make sure the microphone/speakers are not moved during the Auto MCACC Setup.

•Using the Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.5

•The screen saver will automatically appear after three minutes of inactivity.

Caution

•The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.

Note

1Make sure not to switch off the power when using the System Setup menu.

2• Note that when editing items in the Manual MCACC menu, you will need to first specify the MCACC preset you want to adjust by pressing MCACC before pressing SETUP.

• You can’t use the System Setup menu when the iPod or XM Radio input source is selected (in either the main or sub room).

3These are stored in memory and referred to as MEMORY1–6(or M1–6) until you rename them in Data Management on page 42.

4You may also want to have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system.

5Except in cases where you are only adjusting one parameter (i.e. channel level) from the Option setup screen (step 3).
