Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu

The following section shows you how to make detailed settings to specify how you’re using the receiver (for example, if you want to set up two speaker systems in separate rooms), and also explains how to fine-tune individual speaker system settings to your liking.

• Surr Back System – Specifies how you are using your

surround back speakers (see Surround back speaker

setting on page 39).

• Manual MCACC – Fine-tunes your speaker settings

and customize the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see

Manual MCACC setup on page 39).

• FULL BAND PHASE CTRL – Calibrates and

automatically corrects the frequency-phase

characteristics of the speakers connected (see Full

Band Phase Control on page 44).

Automatic MCACC (Expert)

If your setup requires more detailed settings than those provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 8, 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

•Auto MCACC – See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 8 for a quick and effective automatic surround setup. See Automatic MCACC (Expert) below for a more detailed setup.

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, HOME MEDIA GALLERY (VSX-94TXH only), XM or SIRIUS Radio input source is selected (in either the main or sub zone). When you set ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 to ON (page 60), you can’t use the System Setup menu.

3These are stored in memory and referred to as MEMORY1–6(or M1–6) until you rename them in Data Management on page 45.

4You may also want to have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system.
