Easy Setup Guide Part2

1AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP

If setting up your surround sound speakers seems like it's going to be an involved task you only need to use this quick, automatic method, known as the MCACC system, to achieve good surround sound. You'll need to hook up the microphone so that the receiver can hear and judge the distance, size, sound character and sound pressure level of the speakers and thus know what settings to make.

First turn the volume down, then plug the microphone into the SETUP MIC jack on the front panel of the receiver and put the microphone into its stand. If you have a tripod you can affix the mic stand to it. Follow the step-by-step guide to setting up your surround sound below. This will customize the surround sound for your listening environment. If you want to personalize your surround sound setups by making the settings manually go to "Setting up for Surround Sound" (starting on page 36) and "Expert setup" (starting on page 96). Make sure all the components you need, especially speakers, have been properly connected before you do the steps described here. Use the arrow buttons (5∞) and the ENTER button on the remote control to navigate the on-screen display (OSD) on your TV. Conversely, you can use the MULTI JOG dial and ENTER button, and look at the display, on the Front Panel.
