Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing MCACC. The volume increases automatically and the system outputs a series of test tones.

To cancel Auto MCACC setup before it has finished, press MCACC. The unit will continue to use the previous settings.

If the ambient noise level is too high, NOISY blinks in the display for five seconds. To exit and check the noise levels1, press MCACC, or to try again, press ENTER when RETRY shows in the display.

If you see an ERR MIC or ERR SP message in the display, there may be a problem with your mic or the speaker connections. To try again, press ENTER when you see RETRY2

When the MCACC setup is complete, the volume level returns to normal, COMPLETE3 shows in the display, and Acoustic Calibration EQ is activated.4

Note

1• 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 environ- ment 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 Auto MCACC setup.

2If this doesn’t work, press MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the ERR message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again.

3If COMPLETE doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.
