•While listening to a source, press RECEIVER , then press MCACC.

Press repeatedly to select one of the six MCACC presets2.

See Data Management on page 91 to check and manage your current settings.

Note

1 Different presets might also have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system. These presets can be set in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 78, either of which you should have already completed.

2 • These settings have no effect when headphones are connected.

• You can also press / to select the MCACC preset.

3• This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz), DTS (including DTS 96/24) and WMA9 Pro digital signal formats. The compatible signals via the HDMI terminals are: Dolby Digital, DTS, WMA9 Pro, PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-HD Master Audio, SACD and DVD Audio (including 192 kHz). With other digital signal formats, set to ANALOG (the MULTI CH IN and TUNER).

•You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper digital connections (page 29) and set the signal input to DIGITAL.

•Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.

4When the HDMI option in Setting the Audio options on page 64 is set to THROUGH, the sound will be heard through your TV, not from this receiver.

5• This is useful if you find there is a slight delay before AUTO recognizes the PCM signal on a CD, for instance.

•When PCM is selected, noise may be output during playback of non-PCM sources. Please select another input signal if this is a problem.
