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 Error MIC! or Error Speaker! message in the display, there may be a problem with the microphone or the

speaker connections. To try again, press ENTER2.

SX-LX08 model only: If the display shows the ‘Error SW!’ message, the unit was unable to detect output from the subwoofer.

Check and confirm that the subwoofer's power switch is turned on, and set the volume to a comfortable listening level, then press ENTER once again.

When the MCACC setup is complete, the volume level returns to normal, Complete3 shows in the display, and Acoustic Calibration EQ is activated.4

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this unit upon completion of the Auto MCACC setup.

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 environment and switch them off if necessary.

• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the microphone. 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 Error 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.
