Automatic MCACC (Expert)

If your setup requires more detailed settings than those provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 10, 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 USB, XM or SIRIUS Radio input source is selected (in either the main or sub zone). When you set ZONE 2 to ON (page 62), you can’t use the System Setup menu.
