04Basic Setup

Select Normal (Surround back), Speaker B, Front Bi-Ampor ZONE 2 for the Surr Back System setting according to connections to the surround back speaker terminals.

4Follow the instructions on-screen. Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you’re using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to a comfortable volume level.

5Wait for the test tones to finish, then

confirm the speaker configuration in the GUI screen.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs test tones to determine the

speakers present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while it’s doing this.1

If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the speaker configuration check screen is being displayed, the Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this case, you don’t need to select ‘OK’ and press ENTER in step 6.

•With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise! or Check microphone.) select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup below) and verifying the mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.

•If you see an ERR message (or the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct), there may be a problem with the speaker connection.

If selecting RETRY doesn’t work, turn off the power and check the speaker

connections. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply use /to select the speaker and / to change the setting and continue.

•If Reverse Phase is displayed, the

speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.2

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

6Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press

ENTER.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs more test tones to determine the optimum receiver settings for Channel Level, Speaker Distance, Standing Wave and Acoustic Cal EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.

Note

1 Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.

2 If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If this happens, select GO NEXT and continue.
