Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise and testing for channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration EQ) for your particular room.1
Important
•These test tones are loud; however, do not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a
•Make sure the mic and speakers are not moved during the MCACC setup.

STANDBY/ON to turn the power on. If the tuner is selected, switch the input source.

Note
1You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you change the placement of your speakers or your room layout).
2 • If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary.
•Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during the Auto MCACC setup.
3 If this doesn’t work, press SHIFT+MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the error message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again.
4 If COMPLETE doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again. 5 See Listening with Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 17 to switch on/off Acoustic Calibration EQ.
