Manual MCACC speaker setup

You can use the settings in the Manual MCACC setup menu to make detailed adjustments when you’re more familiar with the system. Before making these settings, you should have already completed Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 11.

You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers).

Important

•For some of the settings below, you’ll have to connect the setup microphone to the front panel and place it about ear level at your normal listening position. See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 11 if you’re unsure how to do this. Also see Other problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 13 for notes regarding high background noise levels and other possible interference.

•If you’re using a subwoofer, switch it on and turn up the volume to the middle position.

1Select ‘MANUAL MCACC’ from the System Setup menu.

See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu above if you’re not already at this screen.
