Manual MCACC speaker setup

You can use the settings in the Manual MCACC setup menu to make detailed adjustments when you’re more familiar with the system. Before making these settings, you should have already completed Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 9.

You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers).

Important

•For some of the settings below, you’ll have to connect the setup microphone to the front panel and place it about ear level at your normal listening position. See
