Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu

The following section shows you how to make detailed settings to specify how you’re using the receiver (for example, if you want to set up two speaker systems in separate rooms), and also explains how to fine-tune individual speaker system settings to your liking.

•Surr Back System – Specify how you are using your surround back speakers (see Surround back speaker setting on page 36).

•Manual MCACC – Fine tune your speaker settings and customize the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see Manual MCACC setup on page 37).

•Data Management – Check your MCACC presets and manage them through copying, renaming or deleting (see Data Management on page 42).

•Auto MCACC – See Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8 for a quick and effective automatic surround setup. See Automatic MCACC (Expert) below for a more detailed setup.

•Manual SP Setup – Specify the size, number, distance and overall balance of the speakers you’ve connected (see Manual speaker setup on page 43).

•Input Setup – Specify what you’ve connected to the digital and component video inputs (see The Input Setup menu on page 60).

•Other Setup – Make customized settings to reflect how you are using the receiver (see The Other Setup menu on page 61).

Automatic MCACC (Expert)

If your setup requires more detailed settings than those provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8, 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 and 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 in either the main or sub zone when the iPod, XM or SIRIUS Radio input source is selected.

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 2).
