10The Advanced MCACC menu

6Wait 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.1

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 40) and verifying the mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue.

7If necessary, confirm the speaker configuration in the GUI screen.2

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

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 8.

If you see an ERR message (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 continue.

If Reverse Phase is displayed, the

speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.3

If the connections were wrong, turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly. After this, perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure again.

If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and continue.

8Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press ENTER.2

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.

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-P setup (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.

9The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and the Advanced MCACC menu reappears automatically.

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 Manual MCACC setup menu (starting below) or

Manual SP Setup menu (starting on page 99).4

Note

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

2 This screen is only shown if you selected ALL or Speaker Setting from the Auto MCACC menu.

3 If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected.

4 • 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 99.

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.
