SETUP MIC

With error messages (such as Too much Ambient Noise! or Check microphone) select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 11) and verifying the mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue.

7 If necessary, confirm the speaker configuration in the OSD.2

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

If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the speaker configuration check screen is being displayed, the Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this case, you don’t need to select ‘OK’ and press ENTER in step 8.

RETRY

If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so that it’s about ear level at your normal listening position. Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a table or a chair.

4When you’re finished settings the options, select START then press ENTER.

5Follow the instructions on-screen.

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 Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 11 for notes regarding high background noise levels and other possible interference.

6Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish outputting test tones.

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.

8Make 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.
