If you see an error message (ERR) in the right

side column, there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If selecting RETRY

doesn’t fix the problem, turn off the power and check the speaker connections.

8Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press

ENTER.

If the screen in step 7 is left untouched for 10 seconds and the ENTER button is not pressed

in step 8, the Auto MCACC setup will start automatically as shown below.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 1 to 3 minutes.

9The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! You return to the System Setup menu.

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 System Setup menu (starting on page 42).1

If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct, use / to select the speaker and / to change the setting. When you’re finished, go to the next step.

Note

1• Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Speaker Setting on page 43.

• 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.
