•Multi-Point(only available when the Auto Mode above is Acoustic Cal EQ or Aco Cal EQ Pro.) – In addition to measurements at the listening position, you can use two more reference points for which test tones will be analyzed for standing waves. This is useful if you want to get a balanced ‘flat’ calibration for several seating positions in your listening area.6 Place the microphone at the reference point indicated on-screen and note the last microphone placement will be at your main listening position:

When you’re finished settings the options, press RETURN to go back to the Auto MCACC main setup.

•Auto Mode – The default is ALL (recommended), but you can limit the system calibration to only one setting (to save time) if you want.3 The available options are ALL, ALL (Keep SPsetting),4 Speaker Setting, Channel Level, Speaker Distance, Acoustic Cal EQ, and Aco Cal EQ Pro.

•THX Speaker (only available when the Auto Mode above is ALL or Speaker Setting) – Select YES if you are using THX speakers (set all speakers to SMALL), otherwise leave it set to NO.

•EQ Type (only available when the Auto Mode above is Acoustic Cal EQ or Aco Cal EQ Pro.) – This determines how the frequency balance is adjusted. ALL CH ADJUST (default) is a ‘flat’ setting where all the speakers are set individually so no special weighting is given to any one channel. Optionally,5 FRONT ALIGN sets all speakers in accordance with the front speaker settings (no equalization is applied to the front left and right channels), and OFF (only available when ALL is selected) allows you to save calibration settings (such as speaker distance and channel level) with no EQ or standing wave adjustment to your selected preset.

3Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.

Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.

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.

4Follow 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 at the middle position.

•See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 10 for notes regarding high background noise levels and other possible interference.

5Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish outputting test tones.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while it’s doing this.

Note

1If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through Surround back speaker setting on page 39 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 4.

2The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening positions. Simply choose an unused preset for now (you can rename it later in Data Management on page 45).

3The Aco Cal EQ Pro. measurement is also taken when ALL is selected. See Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 43 for more on this.

4The ALL (Keep SPsetting) option allows you to calibrate your system while leaving your current speaker setting (page 46) unchanged.

5If you selected ALL as your Auto Mode setting, you can specify the MCACC preset where you want to save the FRONT ALIGN and/or OFF settings.

6Switch the Multi-Pointsetting OFF if you only use one listening position.
