5 Follow the instructions on-screen.

 

If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.

—If the connections were wrong, turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly. After this, perform the Auto MCACC procedure again.

—If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and continue.

ENTER.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs more test tones to deter- mine the optimum receiver settings.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.

!If you selected a STAND.WAVE Multi-Point setup (in step 2), you will be asked to place the mic at the 2nd and 3rd reference points before finally placing it at your main listening position.

9The Auto MCACC Setup procedure

is completed and the Advanced MCACC menu reappears automatically.

The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using the Manual MCACC setup menu (starting below) or Manual SP Setup menu (starting on page 66).

!Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 66 .

!The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.

!If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we

recommend adjusting the settings manually. You can also choose to view the settings by selecting individual parameters from the MCACC Data Check screen (see Checking MCACC Data on page 64 ).

Press RETURN after you have finished checking each screen. When you’re finished, select RETURN to go back to the Home Menu.

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Auto MCACC Setup.
