10The Advanced MCACC menu

Automatic MCACC (Expert)

If your setup requires more detailed settings than those provided in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37, you can customize your setup options below. You can calibrate your system differently for up to six different MCACC presets1, 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).2

CAUTION

•The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.

1Select ‘Auto MCACC’ from the Advanced MCACC menu, then press ENTER.

If the Advanced MCACC screen is not displayed, refer to Making receiver settings from the Advanced MCACC menu on page 85.

2Select the parameters you want to set. Use / to select the item, then use / to set.

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.3

•The screen saver will automatically appear after five minutes of inactivity.

•Auto MCACC – The default is ALL (recommended), but you can limit the

system calibration to only one setting (to save time) if you want.4 The available options are ALL, Keep SP System,5 Speaker Setting, Channel Level, Speaker Distance and EQ Pro & S-Wave.

•EQ Type (only available when the Auto MCACC Menu above is EQ Pro & S-Wave)

– This determines how the frequency balance is adjusted.

Note

1These are stored in memory and referred to as MEMORY1 to MEMORY6 until you rename them in Data Management on page 97.

2You may also want to have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system.

3Except in cases where you are only adjusting one parameter (i.e. channel level) from the Auto MCACC menu (step 2).

4• When data measurement is taken (after selecting ALL or Keep SP System), the reverb characteristics data (both before- and after-calibration) that this receiver had been storing will be overwritten. If you want to save the reverb characteristics data before measuring, connect a USB memory device to this receiver and transfer the data.

•When measurement is taken of data other than SYMMETRY (after selecting ALL or Keep SP System), the data are not measured after the correction. If you will need to measure after correction data, take the measurement using the EQ Professional menu in the Manual MCACC setup (page 92).

•The EQ Pro & S-Wave measurement is also taken when Keep SP System or EQ Pro & S-Wave is selected. See Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional on page 92 for more on this.

•Either effect of Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional and Standing Wave can be switched on and off in the respective MCACC preset. For details, see Setting the Audio options on page 67.

5The Keep SP System option allows you to calibrate your system while leaving your current speaker setting (page 101) unchanged.
