Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC)

The Full Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker connection and speaker size, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your sys- tem, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.

Important

!Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the Full Auto MCACC Setup.

!Using the Full Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.

!Before using the Full Auto MCACC Setup, the headphones should be disconnected.

CAUTION

!The test tones used in the Full Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.
