then press

5 Follow the instructions on-screen.

• Make sure the microphone is connected.

• If you’re using a subwoofer, it is

automatically detected every time you

switch on the system. Make sure it is on

and the volume is turned up.

•See Problems when using the Auto MCACC

Setup on page 39 for notes regarding high

background noise levels and other possible

interference.

6 Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish

outputting test tones.

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.

• Do not adjust the volume during the test

tones. This may result in incorrect speaker

settings.

• 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 on page 39) and verifying the

mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be

a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT

and continue.

7 If necessary, confirm the speaker

configuration in the GUI screen.

The configuration shown on-screen should

reflect the actual speakers you have.

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 8.

• 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.

Note

1 This screen is only shown if you selected ALL or Speaker Setting from the Auto MCACC menu.

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.
