The Advanced MCACC menu 10

8 Make sure ‘

’ 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, and Acoustic

Calibration EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this

is happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.

• If you selected a STAND.WAVE Multi-

Point setup (in step 2), you will be asked to

place the mic at the 2nd and 3rd reference

points before finally placing it at your main

listening position.

9 The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is

completed and the

Advanced MCACC

reappears automatically.

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 Manual

MCACC setup menu (starting below) or

Manual SP Setup menu (starting on

page 94).1

You can also choose to view the settings by

selecting individual parameters from the

MCACC Data Check screen:

•Speaker Setting – The size and number of

speakers you’ve connected (see page 95

for more on this)

•Channel Level – The overall balance of

your speaker system (see page 83 or 96 for

more on this)

•Acoustic Cal EQ – Adjustments to the

frequency balance of your speaker system

based on the acoustic characteristics of

your room (see page 85 for more on this)

Press

RETURN

after you have finished checking

each screen. When you’re finished, select

RETURN

to go back to the

HOME MENU

Be sure to disconnect the microphone from

this receiver upon completion of the Auto

MCACC Setup.

Note

1 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5

inches) will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup

on page 94.

• 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.

• If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing

environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

cases where (for optimal surround sound) the actual distance may differ from the speaker distance setting.
