•See Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 11 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.

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.

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

•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.

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

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

1.Auto	MCACC				1.Auto	MCACC

					Front	[ YES ]
Environment Check					Center	[ YES ]
Ambient Noise		[	OK ]		Surr	[ YES ]
Microphone		[	]		SB	[ YES x 2 ]
Speaker YES/NO		[	]		SW	[ YES ]
		:Cancel		10			OK	:Cancel

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 7.

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.

:Cancel :Cancel

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.

•If you selected a Stand.Wave 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.

8The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Press RETURN to go back to the System Setup menu.

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 38).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 48 for more on this)

•Channel Level – The overall balance of your speaker system (see page 49 for more on this)

•Speaker Distance – The distance of your speakers from the listening position (see page 50 for more on this)3

•Standing Wave – Filter settings to control lower ‘boomy’ frequencies (see page 43 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 44 for more on this)

Note

1This screen is only shown if you selected ALL or Speaker Setting in Custom Menu from the Auto MCACC CUSTOM 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 48.

•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.

•If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

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.
