•Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.

•With error messages (such as Ambient Noise or Microphone Check) select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 10) and verifying the mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply select OK and continue.

6 If necessary, confirm the speaker configuration in the OSD.1

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.

If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side column (or the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct), there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If selecting RETRY doesn’t work, turn off the power and check the speaker connections. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply use / to select the speaker and / to change the setting (and number for surround back) and continue.

7Make 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 channel level, speaker distance, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.

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 34).2

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

•Speaker Setting – The size and number of speakers you’ve connected (see page 43 for more on this)

•Channel Level – The overall balance of your speaker system (see page 44 for more on this)

•Speaker Distance – The distance of your speakers from the listening position (see page 45 for more on this)3

•Standing Wave – Filter settings to control lower ‘boomy’ frequencies (see page 39 for more on this)

•Acoustic Cal EQ – Adjustments to the frequency balance of your speaker system based on the acoustic characteristics of your room (see page 39 for more on this)

Press ENTER after you have finished checking each screen. When you’re finished, select RETURN to go back to the System Setup menu.

Surround back speaker setting

• Default setting: Normal (SB)

:Cancel

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 2 to 6 minutes.

•If you selected a Multi-Pointsetup (in step 2), you will be asked to place the mic at the 2nd and 3rd reference points before finally placing it at your main listening position.

There are several ways you can use the surround back speaker channels with this system. In addition to a normal home theater setup where they are used for the surround back speakers, they can be used for bi-amping the front speakers or as an independent speaker system in another room.

Note

1This screen is only shown if you selected ALL or Speaker Setting in Auto Mode from the Auto MCACC Option menu.

2• Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 43.

•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.

3Since the distance measurements have been set according to the sound characteristics of your speakers, there are cases where (for optimal surround sound) the actual distance may differ from the speaker distance setting.
